holset hx35 fittings - standard t3?
 

will the hx35 use standard t3 feed/drain fittings and flanges ? :7

Re: holset hx35 fittings - standard t3?
 

Drain flange is the same, inlet is a metric thread though. I got mine from Hahne, but a 14b might be the same.

do people usually run a restrictor on these when they put them on cars? google is giving me mixed answers

Re: holset hx35 fittings - standard t3?
 

I didn't.

Standard T3 drain, I think the feed is JIC/AN but I have no idea what adapter I'm running anymore. Bring it to a hydraulic shop and they can hook you up.

pretty sure its m12x1.5 too bad mcmaster doesnt seem to carry a m12x1.5 male 1/8 npt female i have to order one of those seprate

Re: holset hx35 fittings - standard t3?
 

yeah its something like that. what i did was went to the hardware store and bought a brass 3/8'X1/8" reducer and taped it the the m12/1.5 then used the 1/8to -3an adaptor in the T3 kit.

I used a class 8.8 12x1.5 hex-head bolt... chucked it up in the lathe, drilled a hole down the center, drilled a bigger hole in the head, tapped to 1/8NPT, put an o-ring under the head of the bolt, and tightened it down. Doesn't leak. O0

well i dont have fancy lathes or drill bits that can drill through a 8.8 bolt O0 so i just bought one for 15 shipped. problem is mine has like a 14mm hole for the oil inlet, or theres a fitting threaded in that was painted on

Re: holset hx35 fittings - standard t3?
 

is this a normal part of the center section or is this a stock fitting? i cant tell it looks like its part of the center but theres paint on it. its 14mm and everywhere ive read says there supposed to use a 12mm fitting

off topic here, what cm housing did turbo come with ?

Re: holset hx35 fittings - standard t3?
 

i paid the guy $100 for a 14cm non-wastegated 3" vband it had a 12cm internal wg

Re: holset hx35 fittings - standard t3?
 

that's the stock fitting. it looks like a reverse flare type. It unscrews and there is another thread you can use. If you look at my build thread I lost that little fitting so I had no easy way of finding what thread the turbo was. So i tapped two holes on that flange, and drilled two matching holes in a scrap piece of aluminum, then I tapped that 1/8 npt and bolted it on with a touch of sealant. If I ever want to go back to the stock style, there is nothing preventing me from doing so.(I found my fitting too)

The feed is bpt (british pipe thread)...What size who knows I never got around to using my hx40 on my hatch before I sold it.

Re: holset hx35 fittings - standard t3?
 

why did you do that ? isnt the 12cm housing like .89 a/r and the 14cm .97 a/r ?


this is what i found on one of the sites;
6 cm2 = 0.41 A/R
7 cm2 = 0.49 A/R
8 cm2 = 0.57 A/R
9 cm2 = 0.65 A/R
10 cm2 = 0.73 A/R
11 cm2 = 0.81 A/R
12 cm2 = 0.89 A/R
14 cm2 = 0.97 A/R
15 cm2 = 1.05 A/R
16 cm2 = 1.13 A/R
17 cm2 = 1.29 A/R
19 cm2 = 1.37 A/R

Re: holset hx35 fittings - standard t3?
 

Grind most of it off but still leve a lip and use a coupler
