Well, in the morning i'm starting the instal and testing of the holset i built which i've renamed the turbo and here's to what and why
H1-3558x - the name is based on having 1.) H1c CHRA - H1, then sine the turbine is hx35 sized i used that for the 35, the second digits, the "58" comes from the new hx40 style 8 blade compressor inducer diameter of 58mm, then i'm adding the "x" because it's as custom as a holset can come IMO and because I'm using so many X parts.
This is an oil cooled only turbo so i'll be eliminating water lines, but what i really want to document and put up here for others to see is the oiling system install and progress. I want everyone to see what i start with for oil pressure and what i end up with along with how my drain works to show others what the results are of everything i've been asking but have no solid answers on. I've never done a holset and can't find definitive answers as to how i should set mine up based around my system (some say restrictor, some say no, some say HUGe drain, some say the 2g and garrett combo will be ok, we will see) so i'll go along and share how i test and adjust for those who may be scared of holsets for this reason
the i'll be posting logs of spool times with the new home machined T3 .63 a/r turbine housing with the hx35 turbine spooling a 58mm ind. and 83mm exd. hx40 style wheel and housing
expect lots of pics, all camera phone of course but it's what i have in better than 2mp .
Here's the beauty as she sits now, and a list of what needs ot be done tomorrow
1.) weld on 90* outlet to comp housing
2.)finish paintand clear coat to dry while removing other turbo
3.)removing manifold and other turbo
4.) bypassing water lines and blocking off old turbo oil feed from head
5.) installing new oil feed from OFH and setting it up based on pressure
6.) thread my last fitting for the oiling setup
7.) mount holset turbo to manifold and safety wire bolts
8.) install new turbo and manifold to the block
9.) check oil feed/return and pressure and turbo inlet
10.)test drive
I'd say 8 hours for resting, dry times on paints/clears, double checking of all hoses and welding up the other BOV since i traded off the one on my car which is what prompted me to go ahead with the install
hope ya can wait till morning for me to start (i barely can but need the garage and light)
After welding the elbow on in the morning I'll repaint and clear the turbo to this color combo
EDIT: there's one thing i'd like to get to document the differences in spool and sound with and without it, so if ANYONE has a Silencer ring for the hx35/40 comp housings i'd love to take it off your hands for a few bucks if you are willing to sell it
