IHI is the japanese company which is a subsiduary of mitsibushi who make the VF range of turbos. similar to the TD turbos. I do not know the exact ins and outs of it, our encyclopeia the squirrel or similar persons will be able to expand, but if you have an IHI then your car has a proper turbo and not a nackerdooky yingtong shove haepenny special as you fear. The version will tell you what its capable of, ie V23, V24, V28 etc etc. Or a TD05 with its right angle bend if its standard. Someone will be able to expand on what I have said.

It stands for something like Ishikawajma Harima Heavy Industries (IHI)

The early cars from 92-96 had a Mitsubishi TD05 fitted to the saloons and the smaller TD04 was fitted to the wagons

After 1996 the Japanese Domestic Market cars moved on to the IHI series of turbos

The UK cars now a days use both the TD04 on the WRX and the IHI is used on the STI UK

The TD series of turbos are regarded as slightly stronger than the IHI series of turbos

how come the squirrel knows absolutely everything about subarus, I was asking him about dump valves and induction kits the other night and was most impressed by his answers

We should stick him on Mastermind with that as his chosen subject.

Although it wont be as good as the boy that done Father Ted this year.

The squirrel555 is the all seeing eye of subaru, be it online, on ebay or on the techpages of 22b. He reads learns inwardly digests files it away to use practically or regurgitate. He hold the largest collection of subaru merchandise I have ever seen and is a walking breakers yard. EG I was looking for a 97-00 map sensor, he rummaged in bedside cabinet, came back on the phone and said "Aye, I have one".

Thats special.

Hail to the Squirrel! walking encyclopedia, monitor of modern politics and contributor to Radio Four.

AAAAWWWW Shucks

I just cross reference everything with Tony the Tiger and if states it in bold in the back of a Frosties packet then it is good enough for me

I do not know everything about them and i never will know everything but i am always wanting to learn more about where they came from and how they work.

So Grant has a walkin subaru brakers yard....... Now I just so happen to have a load of scooby auto parts that I need to get rid off....

Any chance they may have found a new home.... Don't want to dump them as the auto gearbox is as they say "as hard to get as rocking horse droppings".

I have as far as I can remember

Auto gearbox

Torque converter

2 starter motors

2 final difs both diff ratios

prop shaft

drive shafts

Air box (classic)

Auto Selector

plastic facings
