Be careful using heater hose, it will eventually get spongy and break down from the oil I dought it was designed for oil to run through it

Ill keep an eye on it thanks! I tried just a straight hose, but it would kink, so I like how well this 90 preformed hose fits. Maybe I can find something thats the same style but not heater hose, something stronger. Thanks

Double check that the WGA holds a slight bit of pull, so you know the flapper is held sealed shut.
I went back out and re adjusted the flapper, tightened up the hose clamps, etc. I havent drove it yet but hopefully that helps

Did you port the wastegate opening at all? My 1G with the BEP bolton, external off the o2 housing creeps past 25psi.

No I didnt port it at all. The flapper arm doesnt seem to move very smoothly and there is some slop in it, like the tolerances arent that great. Anyone else have this problem with thiers? This is without anything attached to it...

Are you using the Holset actuator? If so, its probably got too much spring. IIRC, the lowest Holset actuator is on the WH1C at 17psi. Make sure its putting pressure on the flap when its suppose to be closed too.

Yes it is the stock Holset actuator. I know they are pretty heavy duty, but i thought Id still be able to run under 25psi. Ill take it for a test drive tomorrow and see how its running now with the adjustments I made. Thanks guys!

The heater hose should be alright for a little while, but it will become spongy and brittle. It should last a couple years if you dont have to take it off though.

I picked it up from this one dude near by with no shaft play what so ever, dwnpipe, vband... blah blah. I will be installing the 8 bladed hx35 sometime this summer, and will be runing it with the BEP housing. I just purchased a .075 restrictor and a -10 drain line kit. I will have to well a bung in my 6 bolt oil pan. Anyway I'm curious if anyone has good results with 280 camshafts and this turbo? If so, how is spool time and top end power? Here is a pic that I wanted to share with all of you. Its 20g that me and Justin traded a LONG while back next to the hx35. Who knows, maybe later I'll ditch this and go with a T3 hx35 in the future. If you can't tell, I polished the compressor cover.



Let me know what you guys think.

Not for a -10AN; there are adapters that will use the stock drain flange.

If you go to -12AN, you'll need to weld the bung....although I think welding the bung to the pan would be a cleaner job that is less prone to leaking no matter what size line you're using.

Cool! I will post up some pix when I'm almost done with my setup.

What are you doing with that 20g?

So my bolt/sleeve whatever is coming out of my bep housing. I'm pretty sure I could just pull it out. Didn't this happen to you joyfil2001? Were you able to have it welded shut on the car?

Yea it blew out on me. When I pulled the O2 housing nothing was left behind. I would suggest pulling the exhaust housing off and getting that removed. I took it to Meineke and they were able to weld it shut for me. I wonder why this keeps happening.

edit: Oh, your question was if I got it welded while on the car... Yes. Since it had already blown out, I just drove it to Meineke and they welded it shut while on the car. So it is possible.

Cool thanks. How much did they charge you? Yeah the head of the bolt is no bigger than that sleeve so the whole thing can just pop out.

They did a bunch of stuff for me and only charged me $25. Just bring cash.

What was your process for polishing the cover? Did you pull off the cover or polish it on the turbo? looks nice

So it's been about three weeks since i won the auction for the HX35. Since then i have received an HY35, mailed it back with a refund, talked to the seller, purchased my BEP housing and misc oil lines, gaskets and other hardware. So i called the seller today and he told me he looked on the UPS tracking number and it said that the package was lost in transit. He did refund my money for the first turbo and he was only going to charge me for this one if it was rebuildable, but now I'm out weeks of waiting for a HX35 and in that time i have passed up some good deals on some turbos. I have everything i need to install a HX35 but the turbo now.

The only good news is my dsm isn't my DD but the car has sat so long i feel awful.

Should have bought a far more expensive turbo . On a serious note. I'm sorry you've happened to have TWO shipping issues happen to you alone. Most don't have ONE for many, many purchases.

Yeah i've had good luck in the past so i guess i was due for a wammy. The guy was really cool though and in the end i'm just out time.

i was heading towards a 7 blade hx35 from the classifieds but seems like the sellers is not responding
i was offered $650 for a serviced 6 blade hx40 from a diesel shop in the US , im from asia so i guess shipping would cost a bomb , i will be fitting the hx40 into a fp30 turbine housing, by hook or crook or weld or making adaptors or machining , i will make it fit in. How would the spool be with a hx40 6 blade in a 0.70 turbine housing on a 2.0l in your opinion.

This is a log from Mindblowin03's car. We went out for a ride and adjusted a few things on link. He was thinking of going to a 70/30 water/meth mix and some more boost.

Here is a log and a few videos of it running.

YouTube - HX40 Dsm


YouTube - 2g HX40 2nd and 3rd gear pull


YouTube - 2g HX40 In car

That spool is rather quick for the .70 a/r bep t3 housing. 1.9-1.8 70-90mph times. Not bad! Stock intake manifold and hks 272s right?

thilaksharma, the fp30 turbine housing is slightly smaller than the above .70 a/r bep t3 housing; so there's an answer to your question.

That just reminded me that i'll be running the Tial 44 gate venting. So when i hit full boost, dump pipe activate. This is going to be so awesome,

<---------- IS PUMPED UP!!!!!!!

Hearing that noise makes me so glad I recirculated my external gate.

10 psi shortly after 4k and then 20 psi a couple of hundred rpms later.....nice!

This is with a 6blade 56mm billet wheel. Is it safe to safe there isnt anymore in there?

Yes Hks 272's and a cyclone functioning intake manifold.

There could be more in there. We are not sure at all of the compressor flow of the 56mm 6blade.

There more to be had with tuning the timing. And a whole retune with water/meth injection.

Whats some of your recomendations as far as tuning goes?

Set her for 11:1 a/f across the rev range, crank the boost with the water/meth injection. IF you're running ethanol 12.5 a/f ratio and feed it timing at a target boost. If you get past 24* start upping boost. IF your running pumpgas, pull timing a couple of degrees for every 2-3psi of bost increase.

I wouldn't expect much more than 60lb/min out of the compressor. But as is, I think there's room for more flow and/or boost.

How much more boost do you want? Timing too me is pretty high and the water/meth is a 50/50 mix. This is on 93 pump gas. Did you see the log? All those things are logged. even the AFR's are pretty conservative for meth IMO.
