modding LB7 IHI

[diamondshocks]

i know this was talked aobut before but starting a thread just for it. might pickup a used IHI tomorrow and see what i can do. im thinking about to start just talking the turbo apart and port and polishing some stuff up. polish the exhuast ports going into the turbine, compressor housing, and maybe more stuff here. just wondering what people have tried here on them. i understand this is not a everyone deal, jsut the few of use stupid enough to try and pus hthe IHI to it full potential but let me know. im probably going to be making twins latter using the IHI so the less restriction will help with that as well. let me know guys. later

from what i know nothing has been tried yet other than the horn mod so i think you are breaking new ground that others have talked about... i think that this will be a fun road to go down and cant wait for the ihi to come to its full potential

well just picked up a turbo now, what am i getting myself into, haha. ill try to keep everyone posted on info i find. i think just smoothing out all the casting will make a huge difference.

Make sure to post pics of it apart. I was thinking of doing the same thing. Good luck.

Fleece performance makes some pretty killer cheeta lb7 chargers. I think one of them has a 71mm compressor wheel

Talking about a Fleech cheeter turbo that costs $3000.00+ and isn't even cost effective to build, in a thread where someone is trying to mod a stock turbo themselves for free is plain retarded.

Pimp that crap someplace else :screwy:

brayden stopped making any lb7 stuff with the stock turbo. they make a gt3788r modded but then im looking at spending big bucks once again. also marks's gt3788r looks more promising then braydens for the LB7. i think i have a good idea on what im going to need to do.

thanks, hoping to get 10-20 more hp out of here and .1-.2 on the track. guys have run 12.9 on stock turbos, im hoping to hit 12.7

I think there has been a lot better than 12.7 on stock turbo. I know I ran a 12.97 my first pass ever on IHI and #2 only.

I will be following this thread. I talked to an extrude hone guy and he said doing the compressor side would help.

the IHI can run pretty well down to 12.9 but faster then that with no nos, water/meth, or propane its going to be harder then you think. lly and lbz can run down to 12.6's but the turbo is much larger then the IHI
