Anyone know much about them etc?

When Sierras first came out over there a LOT of the base models were turbod by dealerships to get around the 1.3litre tax bracket.

Love to see an enginebay pic, esp the standard 1.3s, seen a 1.6 pinto one, but modded.

Mentions the turbo being a IHI-RHB5 ??

 

it was done to get past the emissions tests

they also did a blown version of the 1.6 and the 2.0, there is a bit about it on the net somewhere i saw a while back, i'll see if i can find it again

That'll be my next project. 170mph in a 1.3 Sierra.

 

Allright,I tell you something about them. There was 1.3,1.6 and 2.0 stockmann turbos.
The turbo was an IHI RHB5 (1.3 and 1.6 litre models) and RHB6 for the 2.0 litre models. The carburettor was a Weber 32/32 DAT Turbo,I think that the 1.3 litre had a Solex carburettor but I'm not sure about that. The compression was lowered by mounting a thicker headgasket. The "modifications" Ford wanted to these stockmann turbos was done by a company named GT motor oy.

There was also a couple of 2.8 litre V6 stockmann twinturbo scorpios done.

But in every case the stockmann turbos are very rare nowadays.

 

1.3L~100hv
2L~150hv
boost ~0,5bar

 

I've tought that the 1.3l had only ~80bhp. 1.6l had ~100bhp and 2.0l had ~150bhp. The guy who actually did the conversions @ GT motor told me that.

 

Ahh, the good old Stockmann turbo, the ultimate sport saloon and cossie slayer - or not quite. How on earth did you become interested in these in the first place? By the way, that RHB5 is one small charger. It makes the FRST turbo look huge in comparison.

 

Look at the steering wheel

 

that was state of the art back then

 

 

When you think about it its amazing how it went from summant like that to the RS500

 

what a beast

 

interesting
