Default 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 ****** up also.

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 *** 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...

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.

I can take specific measurements if you need them.
