holset turbos anyone?
 

I've got 2 spare B18C's sitting in my storage area, and they want some lovin'. I'm gonna boost one of them, blow one up, and probably boost the other one, blow that fucker up also. >:D

Mainly, there is a ------ skyline that im wanting to toast the living ---- out of cause the guy talks mad ---- about hondas, so hes needing to get his ass really handed to him. ^-^

Anyways, im reading that people are getting some real nice #'s from holsets. Who here has EXPERIENCE with them. They are super cheap on ebay, you can get a rebuilt holset for around $400...so why the hell not? t3 flanged, so thats no problem....I really see no reason not to get one.

Who here has experiences with them...

Best low $$ turbo for any b-series :y

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

im guessing spool time, really laggy

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

from what I read, most people are at full boost by 4k rpms.

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

My Hy35 on my LS got 15psi by 4,500 and 21psi before 5k.

Leed tuned a Stock LS-vtec holset hx35 on 13psi it made 323whp :6

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

that was just a straight HX35, no 'hybrid' holsets. Id be happy with 323, im on a stock GSR. Im gonna get a cosmec HG to help the compression...

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

Don't bother with the thick HG unless your gasoline is crappy.

Go HX35, be careful of manifold selection though. HX35 has a 9" scroll and is a bit wider than a T04, so if the manifold was made to tuck a T3, T3/T04, or T04 close to the block an HX35 probably won't fit.

CSaddict might have experience and be able to fab you up some Holset madness. :y

My HX35, T3/T04E off a Drag kit, .60/.63 T3:

I can take specific measurements if you need them.

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

That light blue compressor housing fits u well :-*

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

That's Speedy's turbo, he paints everything Ford blue.

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

JD sell me the turbine housing lol.
<---my holset h1c with a 21cm^2 turbine housing. :l

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

Thanks JD, info I needed to know! CSaddict....I will be needing a manifold shortly.....

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

The only issue I have with Holset turbos is their lack of customer support. I tried getting information from them about the HX35 and HX40 with regard to compression maps, but they deem those confidential. Can't you get the bullseye housing and make it a direct bolt on for your car?

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

i looovveee holset turbos. I have a H1C on my 240 and it spools by 4k rpms. I'm putting another on my brothers mustang right now.
Even the oil drain is t3.. can't beat that.

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

lack of customer support....
im not buying it directly from them, im most likely going to be buying a used turbo, if they wanna keep there maps secret, thats fine by me...

...but the point is, people are making good, efficient power from them, they are cheap and many out there to purchase. Id like to think im not the first or there are few people on HMT who has/have used a holset.

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

All the HX25-50, and older H1C/H1e/etc, Holset compressor maps have been leaked to the public. Time to netsearch.

I was just reading it.

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

Yah, they link to the sweet thread on one of the DSM forums. Good stuff.

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

One of the few things I've found a DSM owner good for...

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

I didnt read all of the pages of that thread. I started at page 50 and went on to my last post. Havent seen it, or havent paid much attention to it. Imma look though...

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

I forget where in the thread, but there's a post or two by a Morphieus or some such name, he links to a DSM board that has all the compressor maps posted.

It's a fairly informative thread.

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

what kinda power if i were to try a hx35 on a f22b1, got a brand new one

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

11 billion WHP.

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

come on dude it was a honest question so if you really feel like flamin me for that then go blow ur self

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

he was being an ------- because there are many many many variables. ::)

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

so what spit out my set up that would include the hx35 and i might get a honest anwser

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

more then a stock f22 can handle is the answer or at least within a safe range. so it should meet whatever goal you are trying to make.

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

Read the link I posted.

I'm gonna go with AJxr on this one too.

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

how do you figure it to be more then what the f22b1 can handle f blocks are bullet proof well almost but ---- rods and pistons and fill the block i bet i would be quite high block can handle 25+psi

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

yeah doesnt really matter how much psi, say you ran 25 psi from that holset and made 500whp... your rods would meet your firewall and some other stuff in your engine bay.

of course the amount of boost matters on an engine but you also have to take how much power your engine can hold into consideration.

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

edit: i re-read and i assume you mean aftermarket rods and pistons, yeah idk still think the holset will set ya good.

btw i did say it would max out the power you can do with a STOCK f22

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

No it doesn't. Intake pressure means very little beyond port flow dynamics.

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

here is a map that I found
I have no idea what size housing they have though

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1...-/untitled.jpg

I picked up a H1C with a 12cm housing for $75, Im gona put it on a friends 99 3.8 v6 camaro. Gona push about 8lbs. It should get up and go prety good. I know that finding a clutch that will hold the power is gona be the hardest part.

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

25-42 were the most informative, for some reason ~35 rings bells I think I was active in there about then. I haven't checked it in over a year and a half, I'd guess.

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

usually on those huge ass threads I start at about 10 pages from where it ended. 99% of the posts are "subcribed" when the only thing the bastards have to do is click subscribe. ::)

SO anyways, yeah, I see absoutly no reason not to get one. Cheap and make power. I could spend the same amount of $$ and get 1/ 2the turbo elsewhere. Looking forward to the build.


And ohh yeah, suspossed to race this bastard this weekend. Hes running a RB25 (STOCK) in a R32 GTS-t. Im gonna put him on the ole roteserie. :6 :y
I hope like hell someone brings a video camera.

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

Yes, I had an HX35(4.5) and laged like hell on a 5.9L I6 Cummins. The GT60 Stage 3 we had laying around spools much faster(3.5K).

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

4K at full boost isnt laggy. expecially when you have a 8000rpms rev limit.

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

leed summed it up best; they spool perfectly on stock 1.8 GSR and LS/VTEC. Joey agrees. :y

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

Sweet, I will soon find out. :y

Re: holset turbos anyone?
 

you guys think a holset would be good on a d16y8 for project build? Also anyone have any experience w/ D Series Rev Hard turbo mani?
