Biglady's Holset HX-52 Completed Install Pictures

[biglady112]

This is how everything turned out. Yesterday was a very long day. We did all the fabrication from start to finish. Turned better than I could hope for. Very different and very unique, or at least I think so. Also below is a picture of my new front motor mount. Did not have many options as the compressor was too large.

Initial testing show the thing makes full boost at 6200-6400rpm in third gear on the stock 1.6L 4G61.

Comments welcome. Both good and bad.

Steven

Looks good.....Did I see this correctly.....STOCK motor???

-Kevin-

 

[biglady112]

Of course. No reason to worry. Just don't slip up and there will be no problems.

 

[e85_4g63]

still all stock huh

 

[biglady112]

I could take a picture of the 4G61 stamp on the motor if you would like. This is not a lie. Look at my other threads about my mirage. Stock motor with pics of damage to prove it. I am not afraid.

 

[19BLACKGST98]

How high do you plan on reving that bad boy? I know you are going to want to stay in full boost for more than 1100 rpms.

 

[anteversion]

Looks like a very good job! the only thing that bother me is the wastegate.... looks like an ebay one?!?! maybe you should be careful with it

 

[Weapon-X]

Hey Steve.......... I like it............. Has the "rough around the edges"......"all business" look.

Was it easier to go up and out through the fender opposed to routing down low and coming out in the lower portion of the bumper cover? Just curious.

yeah i was wondering the same question?

 

[b00stedtalon2]

Looks good sir. How much psi is your "full boost"?

On my old 52 setup I saw about 15psi by 4300 on stock 2.0 4g63. Good work though!

 

[biglady112]

Nothing wrong with an ebay wastegate. It is identical to a tial internally. A good alternative. And we have experience with them from before, and if you ask me, the lower housing could not be more identical, if not made by the same people as tial.

Until I fix a stripped stud, and drive the car more than 15 miles, it will be at wastegate pressure. So it is at 12-13psi at the moment. Just enough to get me home. The stud will be repaired in the next few days. So hopefully next week I can turn her up.

And with the revhard, it really was not an option to go down. That is another reason why the alternator was moved. And I did not want it out of the bumper any way. I wanted to be different. So a little asthetics and a little out of neccessity.

Other than it being what you had, is there another reason you're sticking with the little 1.6?

On my old 52 setup I saw about 15psi by 4300 on stock 2.0 4g63. Good work though!

You got 15psi by 4300 with a Holset HX-52? WTF
I had no idea they spooled that fast, that's insane for a turbo of that size.

 

[biglady112]

Just working with what I have for now. Wanted to finish the design of the car before I started motor stuff. It is more important to me that way. Next is the safety equipment. It is getting sloe to being done. A cage, parachute and some more switches and two firewalls.

 

[Burnett03]

Steven i said this before but i want to post on here, AWESOME JOB! Really, awesome. I can tell the hard work you've put into this and it looks great. The install is clean, who did the welding? SS piping? The radiator setup is clean, the intercooler is clean, it's all just clean and well done. Good work!

 

[biglady112]

MPB Alumafab. Mike has been great to me. It is all mild steel and aluminum. I am still on a budget you know.

Plus, I am building this car to run in the SCTA. They are the strictest sanctioning body around. I am not going to drive 800 miles to be told to go home.

 

[andy4g63]

Glad you are making progress there, Steven. Only one thing, I am wondering about:

The way your DP/exhaust is located, doesn't it go to the driver side window at higher/highway speeds???

 

[biglady112]

Nope. Drove it that night with the windows down, no real problems. It may every now and then though.

I only ask because I didnt see anything about an upgraded valve train

 

[Slippi84]

Looks good man. Def looking forward to seieng how the setup performs. HX52 FTW

 

[ali]

holy crap that looks good

 

[Black_Bullet]

Thats just retarded

 

[dsm-onster]

Steve, great job!!! I can't wait to see this thing moving!

He used a divided runner manifold. Isolating blowdown from other open exhaust valves with ending exhaust pulses FTW.

Though full boost at 6500rpms with a 1.6L and a huge nondivided hotside is actually pretty good, Steve doesn't need to worry about spool considering his use. Big flow and big topend is all that really matters for his goal.

haha passing busas at their peak rpm at full throttle?

 

[e85_4g63]

What A/W intercooler is that? PWR?

 

[JEFFREYCASTGSX]

So is this really on the stock. How much power do you plan on making, and how high are you gonna rev.
