I wasn't shopping Ebay for turbo parts that I would actually buy. I would never put ebay stuff on my car. I did a google search on 20g turbo rebuild kits and it brought me to the ebay one. I was just trying to get more info from their listing to figure out what brand to get. I asked a couple posts ago about a good kit to get but I think it was missed. I wasn't sure what brand to trust.
I will check out Kamak Dynamics and will get there kit simply because you reccomend it. You are the man on this stuff.
Thanks Justin.


Dam just checked Kamak Dynamics out and they don't offer a rebuild kit for a TD06H turbo, but they do for the TD05 / TD05H / TD06 turbo.

TD05, TD05H, TD06, and TD06H MHI turbos all have the same shaft spec.

AWESOME, thank you again.

Hi Justin, have you ordered from Kamak Dynamics latly? I tryed to call them and it said their number is not availble. So I tryed to email them and the email came back to me and said it permanly failed to send. Did they recently go out of business or something?

Hey justin Whats the difference between a 16g and a kkk k16?

I have not tried contacting them lately- that's quite unusual that they would just disappear unless there was some type of financial trouble.

In terms of fitment or wheel spec? I'm not sure on either account as I've never rebuilt a K16- but most KKK turbos are all direct-fit for German applications; they're not universal like the T3-flanged turbos.

Is a HX35 bearing housing the same as a HX40? Basically, can a put a HX40 turbine in my HX35 housing, and put that in a BEP hx40 bolt on housing?

Nevermind the why, is it physicaly possible.

The bearing housings are the same dimension, but you can't swap to larger compressors without getting the lip on the center housing machined.

I don't care about the compressor side to much, let me clairify. I have a 8 blade WH1C, The turbine shaft is about shot, its worn bad where the bearings run. I want to buy a cheapo BAE hx40 turbine, and a BEP hx40 housing. I'd like to assemble a bolt on hx35 compressored, hx40 turbined, hybrid. Giving up some spool for more top end.

I know I could just buy an HX40 for around $300, but I'm taking a chance that it might not be any good either.

Ah, I get what you're asking- and yes this will work just fine.

I'd love to know what the 7-blade HX35 compressor would do mated to a HX40 turbine in the DSM bolt-on housing!

How bout you build me one, and I'll test it for ya? I'll even buy the BEP housing, and give you my WH1C!



Seriously tho, what would be a better setup for 130mph traps in a full weight 1g with cams and a SMIM on E85. A reverse hybrid like above, or a hy35 bolted onto a stock manifold like http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/custom-fabrication/403902-hy35-mods.html Also, I'd like to keep stock cooling fans, and an internal wastegate. I also want a 4-8krpm powerband too!

I'd think for the slight difference in spool you might as well go with a 56mm 6-blade HX40. They're sort-of a rare find, but they're out there- rated somewhere around 62-63 lb/min peak. I think that would be the hot ticket for a quick-spooling HX40 setup with better high-boost airflow than the 8-blade HX40 wheel.

I'm quite impressed with what I'm seeing from the HY35. I now know of two guys personally using that turbo with great results- one trapping 133mph in a full-weight 2G.

Not sure I'd go for the HY35 bolted to a stock manifold over something like an ERL, but then price becomes a huge factor. The 133mph trap mentioned above was done with an old-school Turbonetics cast manifold.

damn justin, you don't sleep either do you ?? I love them old cast manifolds, at least they never cracked, i still run mine picked up anothr one today but the holes are so far off the exhaust ports are off by almost 1/4 inch, i'm gonna weld em shut and re-drill them (took it as a trade on labor)

I've got 2 turbos that are in good shape now, i'm gonna sell one or the other locally really soon and my MSD box, can you PM me some info on either an HY or hx35 turbo sold to me from you (i know you know places, and probably have some, you and dave are like the holset super heros )

I think I read about Ricky running a 56mm HX40, and it spooling about 100rpm later. Thats sort of what got me into this idea. Problem is I don't want a used one, and a new one is gonna be more than I want to spend. Much more than about $500, I'm ###### just gonna get a 3052/65. See I bought a rebuild kit for my HX35, but the turbine is wore. So for like $400 I can have a good rebuilt bolt on mutt. I want the most cost effective setup, that bolts on a cast mani that wont crack, can trap 130, run stock fans, spool early, pull to 7500+, and I'd prefer an internal gate. I know thats a tall order, but I think this reverse hybrid might be the ticket for me


I'm still skeptical of the 133 traps on that hy on pump, but nevertheless if it truely went 133 on a full weight car, I should have no problems going that fast on E85 with it. I just wonder how the top end on it is. I know the stock manifold isn't ideal, but it will work, allow me to run fans, and I doubt its that much of a restriction. The ERL is nice, but the positioning sucks for trying to run fans. If this was a strict racecar, i'd have that on it in a heartbeat. I really wan't a t-netics one like gabe and glenn, but all I ever find is the ebay repops, and I hear people claim they crack. So I don't know about using one of them.

Can you share some info on the other HY35 setup?

Hi Justin, I am still trying to get my hands on a good 20g turbo rebuild kit. Kamak Dynamics, unforuntaly is not an option, but I want the best kit I can get. Since Kamak Dynamics is not an option what company would you go threw?

So, here's the question. I have a 1G with an MHI Evo 3 B16G with external gate off O2 housing mounted on an Evo III Exhaust mani now. The turbo may have ingested the silicone "spacer" around the stock intake and now the blades on the wheel are bent (I think.) The question is what to do now. My goal is consistant sub 12"s full weight on a budget. Options that I am considering are:
1. Buy a new EB16G and put it in my housing and resell the new housing to recoup some funds.
2. Rebuild the turbo back to the specs it was for about $160 ($40 more of a shaft is needed)
3. Rebuild to a machined 16G housing with a 20G wheel for $220 ($260 if a shaft is needed)
4. Rebuild to a 20G housing with 3" inlet and 20G wheel for $280($320 if a shaft is needed)

Thoughts? Too good to be true costs? All MHI components and the work done by Austin.

Not sure what to tell you there, I haven't had to deal with them in a while. I basically build my own MHI kits using some OEM parts and some aftermarket parts from three different sources.

That's fixable- I've successfully straightened blades that were bent worse than that....and if it were to break, you can easily buy a new compressor.

Evo III compressors have the thinnest blades I've seen on any cast compressor wheel, and that reduced weight and improved efficiency comes at a cost of durability.

I was told that if they bent, than something inside is probably wrong to have caused it... True or no? What do you think of the other options and costs with my end goal in mind? I am leaning toward going with the 20G wheel and machined housing as I can always change the housing later if I don't have enough top end...

I'm not really comfortable bending them myself because I don't know how they should be bent....

Hey Justin,my s256et has developed a bit of shaft play in and out.I was wondering where would be the best place to buy a rebuild kit.Is this something i could do at home or would i be better off getting the services of a pro like yourself?

If there's no shaft play, then something would have had to enter the inlet. I don't understand how just four of the six major blades are bent, though.

Depends if you're wanting to trade spool for a little additional airflow. Of course this would all be a waste if your wheel can be saved.

Bullseye can help you- should be around $150 plus shipping for the parts. You can rebuild it yourself if you have the proper tools- I don't really mess with rebuilds from Canada because of the time and cost factor involved with the shipping.

Alright thanks a lot.I'll call Bullseye!

They may try to talk you into a 360* thrust bearing setup for that turbo which will put an end to any future in/out play issues, although I believe the parts are exclusive to Bullseye so be prepared to pay.

Hi Justin, I just wanted to update you on Kamak Dynamics. I was finally able to get threw to someone there and got my Mitsubishi 20g turbo rebuild kit ordered and on the way. Thanks for referencing me to them.

Is this thrust bearing setup worth it in your opinion or should i stick with stock?I will be sticking with this turbo for awhile and maxing it out at the strip.

Is a -4 line off the OFH unrestriced to a BW S362 with a -12 drain ok to use?
