OMG this is incredible! I used greenle tools to cut my pipes into pie cuts, but, man, yours turned out flawless. The welded ends are just outstanding. Congrats.

really wants a gsx...

Wouldn't it be cheaper and more convenient to get some silicone hoses, cut the stock oil feed and drain lines and get some fittings for the turbo?Also, the hx35 I purchased came with this fitting. What size do you think it is? I'm actually thinking about using it somehow...

Defiant- I always get a bad feeling when I look at silicone hose return lines, are you saying these are reliable? I've been considering getting one of those for the future turbo setup, but something just tells me I will be waving the motor good bye if I do so...

Referring to the chart, why do I need to start retarding timing at 1500 rpm and progressively increase it after that? Doesn't the ECU do that on it's own once it realizes the engine is at WOT and there is more air coming in?I just thought the ECU did most of that work even if I didn't tell...

Lol, my fault 99gst racer, I noticed the misspelled word and couldn't make the correction. I went ahead and sent Ludachris a message last night and figured it would be fixed by today...Yeah, I'm planning on running 10.82 afr for the most part. That's a pretty handy chart you have there. I...

So I decided to go with 2g Pistons, and figured timing must be changed. Here I have a pic of what the timing will look like, using ds-map. The timing changes were done from 9.50 - 14.80 psiFor you 2g owners, how does the timing look? How about off-boost timing? I want to make sure that when...

A question to all of you Holset experts:Can a hx35 be ran with a stock 14B wastegate actuator? E316g? <--Not sure if both are the same...Thanks in advance!

Honestly, that's where I completely messed up. About four studs were a bit too loose when I started to remove the head...Those are definitely deep marks on bearings 3 and four.

Here are some of the bearings...

Long story short, after blowing the headgasket on the newly rebuilt motor, I drove the car home. Afterwards, the motor would only turn about 90* so figured it was a bent rod, caused by the attempt to compress coolant in the cylinder. After dropping the oil pan, I decide to turn the motor and it...

Rick- I went to advance auto to get some assembly lube. I bought some of what they had (in a black tube), but I'm not sure if I should trust it. In the back, it says it's lithium based. When I squeezed some out, it's kinda like a black paste.What do you think about it? Where can I get...

The ecu was checked and sure thing, the two capacitors are leaking. Great, just what I needed.I have an automatic eprom laying around, does anyone know how it would run in my manual car? I realize the injectors are different sizes, but I just need it to move...

What I'm having a hard time figuring out is why the car won't turn over, even with the charged battery. I don't think it's the battery because even if it was bad, the car would start, as long as it had a good charge. It just bothers the heck out of me.What do you mean by bump starting...?

So I left the battery disconnected this time and it held charge. It's at 12.97v right now.Even with the good battery, the car turns over twice and suddenly dies...

So all the sudden, my car won't start. None of the lights go on when I turn the key and then figured out the new battery was drained. After recharging the battery, I try to start the car.The engine turns over twice (without really starting) and then suddenly dies, everytime I turn the key. I...

When I turn the bolt, it fails to tighten up, so I suspect one of the wholes on the outlet of the turbo (where it connects to the IC hose) is stripped. The bolt itself looks like it's in perfect condition. I"m not sure about the size of the hole, but should I retap it? Get a bigger bolt?What...

The following homemade timing belt tensioner tool broke inside the motor:Timing Belt VFAQ Addition 1It broke off right after the "ears" and the tool is exactly 7 1/16 inches, including the head. Could anyone find out the actual length a battery hold-down?Also, does anyone know if...

Guys, I think it's time to show off your Holset setups with pics, vids, and even dyno sheets! :rocks: :thumb:

honduh

The screwdriver moved down...No, I did not turn it counterclockwise.

The motor did spin without the head.Here are some pics of the crank pulley. Where is the timing mark on the pulley?

women

The timing marks line up . Everything seems to be turning normal...

The rebuilt motor does not turn over when I try to start it; it cranks about close to one whole rev and then it stops violently. Someone suggested the cams are on backwards; I tool some pics, wondering if someone could help me out.Not sure if it's possible to tell, since the cams aren't...

dnhieu: what kind of setup is your friend running? how much boost and what rpm is it getting full boost?

What return line are you using??PS Someone should really do a write up about installing the hx35 w/BE housing. That would really help future holset users and problems they will run into in during installation...

You're right. Since this is the case, 1g sleeper should do a ton of research, as well as look at the "stages" of mods and go from there. 1g sleeper, you should keep the turbo around, but not use it until you have an overall understanding of dsms and how they must be tuned and modded. Use the...

I agree with defrag. And even the hx35 isn't even that bad on a 2.0L. With a bullseye turbine housing, many are seeing boost at 3500-3900 rpm. Not bad if you ask me...That's the route that I'm going with...

when i bought my gsx, the dude gave me a starion intercooler. its not that big, core measures: 16.5"x8"x2.5" but since it was free, why not use it. the only problem is that the tubes where the piping connects is only 1.75"!!!i dont know much about fmic but to me that seems...

I bought an ATR o2 housing eliminating full 3" downpipe. Still need other exhaust parts, so it's not bolted up yet...Why don't you want a true 3" downpipe? :(

Could you figure out the name of the person, since his/her name would be on the title?Also, you could ask Buschur if they have a special "stamp" they label their motors with...I highly doubt you want to take the motor apart to figure out what kind of internals you're running, although...

I bought a Buschur exhaust not to long ago, and I am thinking of ways to keep the stainless steel shiny as well as prevent it from rusting.Is there some sort of clear, rust proofing spray that I can use to treat the exhaust? All I can think of is bbq grill spray, but that's obviously not...

I strongly disagree against getting pistons from a bad motor. I mean, why even risk blowing your motor? I would rather get new pistons and have the peace of mind that my motor will not blow because I cheaped out.I am going the same route (350-380 whp), and I have chosen stock 2g pistons, 1g...

I bought 1 piston from partsdinasaur, 8.5:1 comp, and it looks like the real deal. Only bought one because the a seller from the classifieds had 3 pistons for sale lol.But yeah, I am in the middle of a rebuild, and if you would like, I can let you know how it all goes in a couple of weeks...

I have an internally gated original turbine housing from a new hx35w; it is in mint condition. I am willing to sell it to anyone that needs it, since I will be going with the BE housing. Not sure what size it is, but if someone can help me ID it, I will be more than happy to let yall know...

THANKS EVERYONE!Would you guys recommend separating the center cartrige from the compressor housing and leting it dry that way?The thing is, the turbo is being kept together by a clip thing. Not sure what tool is used to separate it...

Alright so I was porting the turbine housing of the 14b and my niece decided to have some fun with the turbo. :barf:She poured water into the compressor housing to sum it up. All the oil feed and drain holes were sealed, so I'm pretty confident water didn't make its way in there.I was...

Well, it's not that he can't get a loan, it's just that he doesn't have the time to go through all of the trouble of getting a loan, since the car is being sold on a first come first serve basis.

Ok so a coworker needs about $3k, and I am willing to borrow him that kind of money. The deal is, I lend him $3k he gives me $4k back! It really doesn't get any better than that.The thing is that he NEEDS to buy a car and it's first come first serve. Now, the person selling the car isn't...

Thanks KFT, that is JUST what I needed...

I would like to read a bit about speed density tuning, and was wondering if anyone knows where I can find the AEM manual online. I think it would help me a lot when it comes to understanding how to tune volumetric efficiency, etc.Thanks in advance.

Interested in how well this intercooler is holding up; for some reason, this thread has fallen off the map...!Has anyone else put down any numbers/times with this intercooler setup?

I couldve sworn I saw one in the classifieds on here or dsmtrader. Check both...the person that was selling it wanted to trade it for a hx35 or cash...

16:1?! OMGIs that safe for stock internals? Sounds very lean and harsh, but I could be wrong, since you're just cruising...

Well, I decided to get a new FRAM filter lol. This thing is really goofy looking but it'll do. Thanks a lot you guys for the help. Engine gets dropped in soon! Can't wait!Omar

Well, I do have a logger but what would I be looking for? All I can think of right now is fuel trims and maybe rich knock; the nb02 readings are useless.

So the motor will be done getting rebuilt shortly, so I have a short question.I still have the 1g mas but the filter is just filthy. When I say filthy, I mean it looks like its been dipped in mud. I just don't trust this filter and was thinking about buying a new one.Now, I have a 2g Mas...

Feel kinda racist, but I have to agree...I've seen a lot of this crap on trucks...ugliness at its best
