Firstly like to say Hi to all from the UK

Secondly could anyone tell me what Turbo came as standard on a euro/UK '88 323
and I take it the mani is a straight bolt on job?

Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
Regards
Sam.

VJ-14 American BF Model 323GTX
VJ-20 BG Model 323 GTX (1800cc) Jap Imports
VJ-23 323 GTR

My hunch tells me that the earlier ones would be a VJ-11. Any IHI turbo will bolt up though.

Are you saying "Hi, to all from the UK" or "Hi to all, from the UK"?

"1988 or 86, 323 4x4 turbo. 1.6 engine" are what the part's are coming from hopefully.
I own a '98 1.6 btw wich is crying out for some boooossst!

I think as long as it comes off a B6 you’re ok. Whether or not it’s the best turbo for the job I can’t say.

It's cool Im just after the manifold really for now,
will pick a turbo with the right spec later, not going balls to the wall
mental boost! just a light pressure 160hp will do for now.

Ive got a custom built tubular t3 flanged b6 manifold for sale, let me know if it would be something you are interested in. Shipping would probably suck but its a nice stainless manifold built by JWmotorsports.

Thanks for the offer, but Ive just won a load of 323 bits including manifold
and oil lines etc off ebay for £20!

Lets go Turbo

Still looking for a turbo! want something T25 size , is the IHI RHF4 or RHB4 near to that size???
The exhaust flange looks like it would fit???

I believe the 323 turbo stuff only works on the DOHC 1.6

Thats lucky that's what I've got

cant find any VJ turbo units for sale here in UK

so are there any other models that I can grab a T25 sized turbo off that will fit a 323 fanimold??!!

the only turbo that will bolt to your fanimold(giggle) without modification will be a vj series IHI turbo. you can source them from several different Ford/Mazda models.
