i own a Mazda 323GT turbo sedan. it uses an IHI turbo.
i have been searching on here for turbine measurements of the VF10, VF11 turbos. i would apreciate it if you guys could compare these measurements of my stock turbine to your turbine.
help me out guys, thanks please reply.
here are some pics one of the 323 forum members took of the stock 323 turbine.

The USDM Turbo Legacy VF11 Turbine is essentually identical to what comes stock on the 323 turbine, based on what was measured/pictured above.
My numbers are pretty close to the ones above, close enough that I'd consider them meausurement errors, especially on the exducer due to how the calipers were oriented.
Inducer - 2.040" / 51.816mm
Exducer - 1.676" / 42.5704mm

The Vf8 is commonly use in Australia for the 323 the compressor bolt straight onto your exhaust housing.

the aussies are telling me that the VF8 and VF12 are RHB52 series.
the VF10/11 and VJ14/11/20 are RHB5 series.
also they say the VF8 and VF12 require machincing of the RHB5 turbine housing, due to a slightly larger turbine wheel.

no prob.
do you guys have the compressor inducer and exducer measurements also?
when measuring the wheels for trim size, you measure the outer fins.
here is the stock 323s comp.
exducer (major) 52.50mm
inducer (minor) 35.00mm

YOUR NUMBERS?
Thanx for giving me credit and using my own pictures in the first place.
$5.00 he measures 52.5mm major and 39mm minor, which I could have told you in the first place.

Yeah, who're you?/Do I know you?
Chris- You're coming off very condescending and it needs to stop. Don't bite the hand that feeds you and demand that people give you answers immediately after you post. Not to mention use someone elses info and pictures without giving them credit. That's just foul Chris.
As said, I'll bet $5.00 that he gets 52.5mm OD and 39mm ID just like the T Bird.

???? my numbers, as in the numbers he is going to measure for me.
the pics are all you, i dont claim them to be mine.
read the first post this is in there.
"here are some pics one of the 323 forum members took of the stock 323 turbine."
the credit of the pics goes to sixsick6.
i'm not wanting to cause drama, i just wanna know the measurements.

Actually now that I have read the thread instead of just looking at the pictures, damn Playboy habit of mine, I see what he meant. I am still not sure if I have the 323 turbo, doubt I do. I just have the 1994 turbo wagon. I'll check in again to see if it is what I have, and can ya tell I am a newb to this sorta thing? Coming from a Saturn, ya know.

Looks like you owe him $5
The Exducer is the same, however the Inducer is larger. I measured it twice to make sure I did it right.
My numbers
Ex: 52.55mm
In: 37.48mm

More than likely 37.5mm.
Just an FYI- The VJ11 measures 36mm, VJ5 measures 36mm, VC32 (T Bird) measures 39mm. I haven't measured a single RHB5 that's been any larger than 52.5mm OD. To my knowledge they're all 52.5mm OD.

Is there anyw ay that you could measure different fins and pull a 38mm or even a 39mm? It would explain another thread in a different forum in which a friend of mine used a Legacy housing and a T Bird wheel.
