Hello everyone. Just dropping a quick intro here.
I have a 89 mustang with a single holset hx35 turbo that I made myself.
car runs great I drive it everyday.

you can see my outdated website in the link where ever it goes in my profile. Maybe someday soon i will update it a little more.

Brandon, just checked out your site.. Great stuff man! How well does that turbo spool up on your engine? We are doing a similar project on a small block 350, but the turbo is considerably larger, and we are worried about spool times. Whats the A/R on the exhaust side of that turbo?

Great times, and nice work, welcome to the site (mainly honda ricers like myself though)

------' cool! How the hell did you fit that turbo in there? It looks like everything was formed around the engine. Must have been a nitch to install. Very impressive. Thats the first turbo-Stang I have seen here. Welcome aboard.

Nice fab job on the turbo manifold......that would be a project!
Good to see some domestic Home Made Turbo's here!

thanks guys. I am kinda the make and model dont mean ---- kinda guy. you like that car i like this one. thats why everyone dont have the same car.

As for my turbo goes they dont advertise Holset's with a/r. next time i have it off i was going to measure it though to find out. its measured in cm squared. also it has only a small t-3 inlet flange. and 53mm inducer. but yet still supports over 500 hp.
this one is 12 cm sq. as for spool time the holset turbo dont mind spinning a little faster then most turbo's. i can have 7 psi at only 2k rpm if i brake boost and if not it will be full boost around 2800 rpm and pulls all the way to 6k.
here is a little vid of it.

Awesome set up you have!! I jsut love turbos no matter what the car. I am personally going honda only because i want something cheap to turbo. Hopefully i will be helping my freind install a vortech supercharger(centrifugal) in his 91 mustang 5.0 hatch. I am sending him down the path of forced induction and i know he will be hooked!! I have seen a lot of 10 sec mustangs and that is great but all motor doesn't do it for me unless you are running a v12 or 18grand spinning F1 engine.Love your custom setup...Maybe now i have more reason to tell my freind to go turbo , although he got an super deal on the supercharger.

Very nice Brandon!!

Your bov sounds great, especially concidering it's one of those plastic bosch types.

B.t.w. you mentioned that the turbo has a T3 flange, looks like a T4 to me.
