I'm looking for a small turbo for my ew3. My goal is boosting 4-5 psi and I came across this one on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/...em=280024342998
is this a good small turbo that would work on my CRX?
I'm also worried about having way too much compression ( I shaved my head .044" compresssion ~ 9.5:1 without turbo) that's why I only want to boost it around 4-6 psi.
Do you guys think this would work?
Thanks

should do. its pretty small will come on boost real early and maybe it wont have enough flow for the top end??? thats what i heard anyways so i went with the T3. should be sweet for low boost

we have used 3 ihi rhb5's now with fantastic results. you will not have any restriction for flow at 4-5psi. that turbo wont start to choke until around 14-16psi on our 1.5 motors depending on your compression.

check out our website www.cheaptrixracing.com. every video of the black car and the red car is with an ihi rhb5 turbo at 6-9psi. most of the videos of the white car are ihi too but some of the newer ones are with my t3/t4.

my 2 cents,
