    hx35 or bolt on 35r

    the holsets that have been blowing up are results of poor oiling feed and drain system. there's a thread explaining all of these. but if you look at those who are running/have run their holsets with the correct feed/drain system, they're still going strong.im biased coz i got an hx35 7...

    Looking for opinions on 1g 6 bolt DD build

    save up for a forged pistons once you slap on the turbo. those topline pistons or the oem n/a pistons wont cut it. but you can use the 6 bolt n/a rods coz it's the same with the 4g63t engines.you can also look into buying 2g pistons and mate it with the 6 bolt rods. there's tons of...

    4g63 n/a bottom end..

    the only difference between the n/a block and the turbo block is the oil squiters as you mentioned and the pistons. turbo OEM pistons are semi forged. but the crank and the rods are exactly the same.get some forged pistons up there and you can have room to grow with your current whp...

    thanks just the info i needed to know. i have two custom stainless steel tanks made. around 4 liters each and it has vents on top. yes, one of the reason why i want the whole system to be inside the car also is to be able to always monitor the leaks in the fittings.thanks again.chris b

    question on engine bearings

    The 4G63 NT Engine, and How to make a turbo kit for it!

    TIMG, MATT,thanks for your inputs. Im definitely going to use OEM 2g Turbo Pistons and mate it with the stock 1g which from my understanding the rods and cranks for N/A and TURBO are the same. Please correct me if wrong.At any rate, the machining to match the 2g pistons and 1g rods...

    Matt,I think H82lose91 has a 16g in his profile IIRC. dont know what mods he did with the 16g though.I just have to figure out a way how to do meth injection pre-TB and water injection pre-turbo. i dont think i can use just one pump with this kind of set up.Or what i can do is put a...

    Ask your water alcohol injection questions here.

    no, on the contrary, a SMALLER pre-turbo nozzle is recommended to create a finer mist. Furthermore, in order to create an even finer mist before the meth/water reaches the compressor, mount it as far away from the turbo as possible.check out 0.4 jet vs. 0.9 jet. graphs. Blue, pink, yellow...

    Matt,In that case Chance was right in using just an m1 nozzle pre turbo.Also i remember turbo glenn and in the aquamist forum that should you want to do pre-turbo injection, you should also mount the injector as far away from the turbo as possible in order to create a finer mist before...

    Very interesting graph. It actually shows that using a single injector set up gives you lower IAT. Also, the boost patterns are similar with pre turbo vs. using a single per TB injector.How far did you mount your pre-turbo injector from your turbo? im just curious. also it might be a...

    Holset HX-35 Oiling

    I change oils every 3k miles or when the mobil 1 oil turns from honey brown to fried brown sugar color whichever comes first. I think it depends on how hard i drive the car.I choose mobil 1 because it's the best oil available in our country. No royal purple nor amsoil nor redline. We do...

    Holset HX-35 Oiling

    Holset HX-35 Oiling

    I change my oil every 5k km religiously also. I guess i see the logic on the thicker oil for holsets coz of their bigger thrust bearings.now question is, you mentioned that youre going to run diesel oil in your engine that is recommended for the holset. Do you foresee any...

    Eagle Rods - Is this a good deal?

    My understanding is that connecting rods take the bulk of the stress during combustion. I dont know much about 2g pistons except that they offer higher compression ratio vs. OEM 1g's thats why i got them. Is there anything more special with these 2g pistons?thanks.chris b
