OT: are those bc cams older models? i dont think bc makes 264's anymore. just asking coz i want to get bc 264's but all they have are 272's.thanks.chris b
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...
chance,i wasnt bashing you. i was just in the middle of relocating everything inside and then i read your post. obviously i'll listen to you coz you and your company are experts in this field. hence back to the drawing board for me.thats why i decided to just fab up another tank...
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...
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
hi guys,i was just wondering if it would be ok to install the meth pump and the tank inside the car interior. im planning to install the pump right below at the passenger foot deck, and the tank behind the two front seats with the glove box in between.is it safe? i mean the fumes that...
thanks man, that gives me a little bit of comfort using just the stock 2g maf.how about the other holset users? im sure there's at least ONE of you who had experience with using a 2g maf.thanks.chris b
been following the holset threads since i got my hx35 with bolt on bep housing.a question was raised in the latter part of this thread which really wasnt fully answered and i share the same concern.anyone here using an hx35 with an unhacked 2g maf? some say it's a restriction. im...
thanks for this thread. i actually pmed matt asking if i should get a smim or retain using my cyclone intake manifold for my hx35 project.i think im going to stick with my hx35 project. right now im using a bone stock 7 bolt motor using dsm link v2 and a garrett t3. spools fast but yes i...
ive seen guys over 400whp with bone stock 7 bolt motors BUT with meth injection.Im building a 6 bolt motor using stock crank and rods with brand new 2g pistons and rings. will replace bearings with clevite and acl race and arp hardware all the way.i do have have meth injection though...
Matt/guys,what do you think of this combo for my hx35 with the BEP bolt on housing:FP race manifold
e-bay external gate (dont know what size though. any ideas?)matt,i remember you telling me you bought your external gate over ebay. did you modify anything inside or is just...
Guys,what size of intercooler pipings (cold and hot side) do you suggest to use for the hx35 with stock intake manifold? 2.5" or 3"?what if i use a SMIM? 2.5" or 3"?thanks.chris b
Matt, Andy,As i was doing my research on these bearings, i was under the impression that the tri metal bearings makes the build more durable than the regular ones. less prone to spun bearing problems?By using regular bearings, you mean the aluglide version? I see only either ACL...
actually when i blew my 7bolt motor 2 years ago, i checked the rods and the crank of the turbo 7bolt vs. the N/A crank and rods, and surprisingly they also have the same part number!
Hi guys,I'm about to purchase some bearings for my engine rebuilt and i have a few questions. Since it's a period of hard times right now, i hope everyone will understand that i want to spend on the right product once. so here goes:1. What do you guys usually use? Clevite or ACL Tri...
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...
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...
does this hold true for whatever size turbo? i already have an m7 pre TB and i plan to put another injector pre turbo. my new turbo is an HX35. what size of an injector should i put? the goal is to lower intake temp and make the turbo spool faster.I have an FMIC already and planning to...
Bringing this thread back to life before i order my short block parts. I just want to confirm which route to go.-What i have now: 1g JDM 7-bolt 4g63 Turbo engine (not so good condition.)
-I have a N/T 1g 6 bolt long block lying around the garage
-i've spent the last 7 hours searching and...
Yup looks like a good deal to me. Got mine for $275 with less miles on it but had crappy yellow paint on the compressor housing.I suggest that you send it to justin (jusmx141) to have it rebuilt just to make sure :) You can see how he took care of my hx35 and i had my BEP bolt on housing...

Thanks justin, take your time :) Yeah the wastegate mounting seems like a cool idea to mount my MBC on. I'll see how it goes when the turbo reaches me :) hope it's not going to be too hot to be touched when i need to adjust it!chris b
Whoa!!!!Thats my turbo! whooohoooo! wonderful, wonderful! :thumb:I cant seem to upload the "before" pic so that i can show everyone what Justin meant by "ugly as sin!"thanks justin!!!!chris b
Whoops. Got confused on item number 2. got it mixed up. Thanks for the correction. Edit done.GST: kindly confirm regarding item number 8. I reviewed the article again and by my interpretation, we're actually supposed to look for the lowest cs number at the lower temp range. thanks...
sorry. back to being off topic and to the oil viscosity thing.I just read the article Dr. Haas (link posted by gst) and let me see if i understand this correctly. This is a very good article that actually increased and verified my knowledge on oils and might benefit the others too.To...
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...
Gotcha. Thanks Matt. I'd probably go with the mobil 1 0w40 better on cold start, still thick enough to meet high temp protection plus recommended viscosity of holset.chris bp.s. youve got PM
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...
Warm up FTW! i usually wait for the thermostat needle to reach the low temp indicator before i even move my car out of the garage with no A/C till its warm enough.
Matt,I have a question though. Since i moved up to fully synthetic (mobil 1 5w30 IIRC) there was a noticeable improvement...
question also on the hx35 with the bep bolt on housing. what whp estimates for my set up? Im aiming for around 400-450whp max. Hopefully at least 400:hx35 with bolt on bep housing

It actually looks good! and since you used plastic, thats even better! now if you can seal that box even more that would be even better!were you able to log your intake temps? any significant decrease?chris b
wow jus!is that joyfil's ebay 20g? what kind of rebuild did you do to it? so does this mean it's as comparable with the real MHI 20g now?amazing! :thumb:chris b
And i heard about this great guy that's very very very very good in rebuilding turbo's. The name of the guy is justin aka "jus".In fact, i sent him my hx35 to be rebuild and slap on my Bolt on BEP turbine housing :)chris b
Now i see. thanks! :) but yeah there's a lot here doing stock rods and forged pistons combo.If i do get this eagle rod then, i'll just save up for forged pistons.Thanks for the help guys! much appreciated.chris b
At the risk of asking this really dumb question, why cant you mate an OEM piston with a forged rod? while on the other hand, you can mate a forged piston with an OEM rod?same machining principle is involved right?I know that the ideal scenario is to go forged rods and pistons, just...
Gary,If you get the BEP bolt on mitsu housing from Bullseye, timsturbo, and i think MAP performance, they are selling the cast stainless steel. FYIchris b
hmmm i actually dont know. all i have are pics sent to me. But i'll ask my friend to send me a pic of the wrist pin brass bushings and will post it here.thanks.chris b
Hi Jus,Thanks for the diagram. Saved it so that i can send it to my machinist.Im still debating on whether or not i should get these eagle rods. As i mentioned, the rods take the brunt of the stress during combustion, while the 2g wrist pins are thicker than the 1g's as you mentioned...
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
