Some Help Would Be Great

[turbo_blitz21]

Hey guys whats up my names Marat.
So here it is. My friends brother has an 81 City Turbo. I have never heard of these cars before because they never got imported into the US but they seem like an awesome car to own. Anyways his turbo went out and I need help finding one so I can send it to him in Kazakhstan. So I dont know what size turbo to get or where to find them. I guess since he is replacing the turbo he will need a new gasket kit as well and I was going to send him some new plugs aswell. Any help would be great.

Much appreciated guys!

Haha good call turbocab, sure all the khazakstanies love borat.

Its an '81 so it wil be T1. A place called strong for honda in Auckland NZ usually have reconditioned T1 turbos and are usually willing to ship, although it wont be cheap.

I remember not long ago, several posters getting flamed for lack of

S E A R C H...

...have agood look, try info base, as I'd be surprised if theres not a dozen posts highlighting interchangable turbos, and other car modela they can be sourced from , especially for newer turbos,,,like the Holden Rodeo version...maybe theres a GM version of a Rodeo engin ein the US you could source one from!?

Yeah I guess you could call around the turbo shops over there and see if anyone has any IHI RHB-5-1's thats the factory turbo, or an IHI RHF-5-1 thats the ball bearing version.
