hmm didn't realize that I read on another site and it said they stoped production in 01 for the hx35w. might be out dated material. now was the HX40 on certain models? I had a HE31W which looks I dentical to the front discharge hy35w but with a noticably larger compressor and turbine wheel still 9cm singal scroll. I have a pic of it compared to my hx35w somewhere I'll try and dig it up.

A holset turbo on a honda is retarded. Have fun with running way below the surge line with that POS.

When are people going to figure out bigger is not better.

Looks like I forgot to mention the turbo was FREE

I work at a Chrysler Dealer and the wastegate was stuck on this one so we replaced it under warrenty because the truck was an '01

I always thought that the surge line was vertical so how would you run "way below the surge line"? I have a compressor map for a 7755 compressor wheel and I pluged in his boost and guessed his lb/min of flow(20-22lb min) since he said he thought it was close to 200hp. and its right in a pretty nice efficency island(74%) the beauty of holsets is the have a map enhancement groove which makes the efficency islands huge. the turbo pr starts at 1.4PR up to a 4.2PR so I guess using a jy turbo that will out flow almost any t3/t4 for alot less is retarded

My only comment is that it's retarded to run a turbo like this at 7psi.

15psi or bust!

You, sir, are completely clueless.

I have the dyno sheet for Speed_Phreak's turbo LS lost somewhere on the shop computer, making 340whp @ 12 psi. Speedy spools at 3200, with 10 psi by 4200.

Call Jaymez at Diesel Injection Service in Cincinnati, OH. Jaymez will tell you to your face - or over the phone - for a 2.0/VTEC application that you plan to rev to 9K or so, a 12 or 14 cm^2 turbine housing is about ideal.

You don't find them on many Honduhs, or other imports, because a 9" scroll doesn't clear too well with a manifold designed to tuck the typical 7" scroll T4 compressor against the block. If they were easier to fit, it would be #1 Big Power Turbo of HMT.

Tailoring turbine housing to wheelsize is going to have a direct effect on surge and whether or not you get it...

So, yeah, I'm running an HX35 on a stock LS with a hybrid pulse converter/pressure wave manifold. I will spool significantly before the substantially constant pressure manifold designs typically used in gasoline applications. If you don't believe me, refer to Alfred Buchi's work - you know, the ****** ho invented the turbocharger? - by the time the industry got around to using the first turbocharger (they ignored him for a good decade) he had been boosting engines to 5 bar pressures for quite some time. Buchi proved that constant pressure turbo setups lost power and fuel efficiency at ALL engine speeds and ALL engine loads by 1922. Did anybody listen? Hell, no, it was annoying the stupid idiot was right about this turbocharger whatsis he had invented, better to just ignore him.

And we ALL know how worthless that turbocharger ---- is. ---- that Buchi guy, what does he know?

werd. there is a guy with a 2.3L ford turbo engine that built a pulse paired manifold(1,4&2,3) he was getting 2-3psi by 2300rpms then about 8-9 by 2600 then he said it would just take off and peg his needle(30psi) in the low 3000's he had to run two audi wastegates to keep it undercontrol. that was with a HX35w with the 12cm housing. and the big misconception with the cm housings people think that 12cm is huge. 12cm is equivelent to .89 a/r in garret standards how many street turbos have you seen with .82 a/r turbine housings?..... I know of quite a few up here. a 9cm is equivelent to a .65 a/r I know for a fact that a majority of the people making decent power run .63 housings.

thats a sick setup, that turbo is alot bigger than a t3/to4b 60/63 with stage 3 wheels turbo netics turbo right? hope my turbo will spool up good on my ls/vtec, lol, pics of my setup soon, that is awsome thow, those lower litter motors make up for it in revving, and maybe when u stick a fucken desil truck turbo on too, lol. all i got to say is sick.

I believe the ghetto-*** 2.3 turbo Mustang where the guy spent waaaaay too long polishing free/broken/old used up swill parts has been posted to HMT before. The guy got HX35 to spool by 2500 rpms with everything ported all to hell and finessed.

The guy I share shop space with has an XR4ti, which has the exact same Ford 2.3 turbo mill. Dave was pissy that my stock 1.8 liter LS spooled a spare Ford .60/.63 T3 faster than his 2.3 liter engine... I didn't have the heart to point out to him that since his Merkur was an automagic car before it got the T5, he has the .48 turbine housing. Welcome to higher specific output regardless of displacement.

The entirety of a T04b compressor map will fit inside the high efficiency island of a Holset HX35. Welcome to something designed shortly after the stone age...
