Intro and turbo question (4JB1-T )

[bighorn]

Hi all,

Been browsing the forums for a while, but just signed up after purchasing a Jack.
Picked up an imported Bighorn "Irmscher", which I believe had a few extra bits and pieces, but most importantly for me it's got the Recaro interior - awesome!

I'll be very forthright in saying I am a novice to the off-road world, and only plan to take baby steps until the sklills/confidence builds.

Just wanting to know what options fellow-owners have made use of when upgrading the turbo? Or perhaps someone can advise what type of flange is on it so I can match up with a Nissan turbo or something similar.

Cheers.

They're an IHI turbo, same brand used on Subarus, not sure what the flanges are...

can we see pics of this beast?

Thanks Yarno, had done a bit of googling but unable to get info on flange fitment. Will get my brother to remove and visually compare against Nissan offerings - would be great to match up against a OEM Nissan one as they are cheap and plentiful.

Havabigjuan - will tee up some pics & post shortly.

You will probably find that doing an exhaust, boost and fuel adjustments will be all thats needed to make it go. Similar to a Rodeo.

Cheers Andy, definitely on the cards.
Was hoping to get a ball bearing in the game for faster spool.

Subaru turbo worked for me .Just unbolt jack turbo housing and put subaru internals into it.
