For a stock cam automatic AWD (2g if that helps) are there any specific turbos (or custom builds) that you would recommend to keep near stock spool (around the 2500rpm range) but flow closer to a 16g? I realize a 14b would fit the spool requirement, however I'd like something with a bit more potential to hit the 300 whp mark.
And while I realize a E316g would be plenty fast to spool on a 5-speed, I can't imagine how much of a dog it would be out of boost without brake boosting at every stop light.
TL;DR: Stock/custom turbo build that keeps stock like spool but can hit 300whp (if that's even a possibility.)
Small 16G, or run an Evo X compressor in a 14B cover like I currently have on my daily driver....but run a 14B's 6cm2 turbine housing instead of the 7cm2 you'd normally want to run on these turbos.For a stock cam automatic AWD (2g if that helps) are there any specific turbos (or custom builds) that you would recommend to keep near stock spool (around the 2500rpm range) but flow closer to a 16g?

You can't go *too* large on the compressor or high on the boost level or you'll run into surge....but these are both great solutions for autos with light mods.
Man I've watched that video a handful of times now and I can't hear a thing. I'm not sure if my speakers don't go loud enough or what....but if there's any doubt, put some oil into the feed hole and let it drain into the bearing cartridge then re-check everything and see if the noise goes away. It must be super-quiet if I can't hear it on the video...not sure if the wheel is maybe hitting a burr or something inside the housing perhaps.Hey Justin, I just picked up a big 16g for a project and it seems like there is an issue with it. There is no noticeable shaft play but when I spin the wheels there is a ticking from the turbine wheel. Is it possible that all of the oil has drained from it and the wheel is contacting the housing? Do you think that it will correct itself once there is oil in the bearing cartridge?

That turbo would've had the .55 BEP housing on it already- if you want something smaller, you need a smaller turbo as that's the smallest a/r housing made for a HX40 coupled with the smallest compressor inducer and the 12-blade turbine to make the best use of the exhaust energy. Basically I don't know of any way for a HX40 to spool any quicker than the setup you currently have.Hey Justin,
I purchased from you almost a year ago a HX40 56/86mm 6-blade HX40 and on wastegate manifold for the setup in my GST. Now that I've gotten some seat time in it plus some additional upgrades I want to confirm that I shouldn't be searching for a BEP housing or maybe something a little smaller to be more efficient for the car. I've picked up a setup from a friend of Brian Crower 276/276's with springs/retainers which we're now running in the car but haven't increased the redline yet (still 7k).
Do you think I should continue with the 86mm hot-side on the hx40 or swap to a more efficient hot-side as I'm uncertain if my mods really allow that turbo to work at it's potential powerband.
4AN feed if you have a large-enough drain to handle the flow. The factory HX35/40 feed lines are actually 6AN...I don't see the need to cut flow in half if it can drain fairly-well.@JusMX141 Question, Im trying to get the proper oil set up for my new HX40. As per your recommendation I do believe its -3AN for the feed and -12AN for the oil drain.
1. Do you think this -3AN line will work just fine? http://www.nitrousexpress.com/17347/5/15/52/10025-d-3-2ft-stainless-steel-braided-hose-red.html
2. I can not find a -12AN T3 oil drain flange. They all seem to come in -10AN. Does any body make one, or should I just TIG a -12AN bung to the T3 flange?
