Hello all...
I have a turbo off a 94 JDM Legacy (EJ20 turbo)...Does anyone know what kinds of turbos were run on these cars then? I havn't been able to find the model on the turbo itself, but I havn't looked at that much of it...as its kinda hard to see most of it in the engine now. Does anyone know where on the turbo I might find info?
Thanks
Micum

sorry for the late reply
its either a vf-10 or vf-12 hope fully its a 12

the 12 is bigger
if its a 10 then technically its not from a legacy RS but from a legacy GT
200ps vs 220 ps

The turbo info is found on the compressor side stamped into the alluminum. Its hard to read even with the turbo out.

I think, but this is from memory, I don't have my note with it here, it said RHB5 (the b could have been an 8) VF10 (or was it 11...ahhh, I can't remember, have to get the note) Anyways, pretty sure it isn't the same as the US, think its a little bigger maybe. But I thought the US had an RHB5...maybe different versions?
thanks

Could also be a VF8, like my JDM Legacy....from what I understand the VF8 is bigger than a VF10 but smaller than a VF12....
