Holset HX35 setup, inputs?

[2GEEZEY]

Just picked up my hx35, now a few questions...

it has the stock t3 housing on it, would i be okay just leaving that and getting a t3/t4 manifold for now? my buddy is selling me he which is already set up for a 38mm external gate.

and Oil feed and drain lines:

I was reading that the garret oil drain works? can someone clear that up?

and oil feed im completey lost. Alls i know is that it would see about 20 psi at idle, and around 80ish at redline? (8k)?????

if you have the the exhaust side setup for t3 then you'll be fine. is it the divided one? the garrett gt 40/42's have the same bolt on setup as the hx35/40's. you'll want to go with a -12an return though. there's a whole thread about it in the turbo section. read through all the pages, it covers oil return and oil feed.

alright gotcha. so basically the stock t3 hotside on the turbo is fine, but if i want quicker spool up, ill have to get the BEP housing?

Yes, bep is the only way around it. But don't be scared of it. I have one in a dsm bolt on housings and ran high 11's last year at 28psi.

yeah, ive been searching for months on end for a site so i can buy one and cant find them anywhere, do they make a bolt on t3 hotside? so i can run it with a t3 manifold? and just get rid of the stock hotside that is on there now?

BEP does make a smaller a/r t3 housing for it.

Technically, it's not longer a "bolt on" housing though. It bolts up to a T3 exhaust manifold and a T3 4-bolt o2 housing.
"Bolt on" housings are ones that run a MHI exhaust manifold flange and a MHI o2 housing bolt pattern, so it bolts right in place of the stock turbo with no other exhaust modifications needed (except maybe an external o2 housing).

very nice, could you send a link to where you got that?

I actually just found those pics with a Google search. Check out the Holset threads. There's about 9 of them at this point.

I think ill just get the t3, more choice of manifolds.
