Depends on the size Holset and whether you paired cylinders. All of the Brand Name Kit manifolds are designed to tuck T04 hybrids against the block or require block to be ground on for clearance... A H_35 would try to occupy cooling jacket in that configuration.

 

I use a '98 Holset HY35 on my minivan.The engine is a 2.5ltr bottom end with a stratus/neon dohc16v head adapted to suit.The Holset is barely any lazier in response,or when useable boost is produced,than my previous T3 ford .60 compressor with dodge .48 turbine.The engine is better off boost also,better economy etc. I have 18psi by 3k,which is my max setting,but it builds like a bastard from 2.5k wide open.I had to modify the internal gate,made it's port as big in diam as possible and ported the lead in to it,now boost is really stable.The HY has a 9cm turbine housing,and the HX a 12cm,from what I have had.
Best turbo for your dollar I think,huge shaft and bearings,very strong.

 

I just finished a ramhorn mani that is going on a b18 vtec using a hc1 and a bullseye housing. I"ll post up what he thinks about it.

could you say what is written on the housing for hx35? any serial number, etc...
may be a photo of the plate on the housing..

 

I can when I get home and yank it off the shelf, but frankly it's a run of the mill HX35W off of a '00 Dodge Cummins turbo diesel. Should be same part number as most anything for a 6-8 stretch of that model, and the serial number is specific to mine alone.

 

ok,
waiting for...

 

whywoody, post up your van in a new thread. I want to see this beast.

With the Holset's,clean off the carbon inside the turbine just past the flange and you should see a # cast into it.That # will tell you the turbine housing size in cm's.
