Alright, so I'm looking to get a hybrid turbo to replace the s5 turbo in my 88 TII. My first thought was of course BNR...anyway, I made a thread in the FS section here on the forum and was offered to buy a FEED hybrid 60-1 turbo. I can't find any information on this turbo. The seller says it appears to be like new...I'm just trying to find some info on the thing. On Fujita-eng.com (which I believe is feed's website) there is a turbo under the fc3s section, but of course I don't know Japanese so it does me no good. Anybody else have any info on these turbos?

 

Tryed google translate?

If it's a true 60-1, than that's the compressor size.
If you want definite confirmation, ask the seller to pop the compressor housing cover off and measure the compressor wheel.

another question...if this thing ever had to be rebuilt...would the parts be something proprietary to FEED or could it be rebuilt by somebody stateside? Sorry for my lack of knowledge on turbos.

 

Stock Hitachi turbos are based on Garrett designs.
Any shop that handles Garrett turbos can work on them and can get parts for them.
