holset hx52 what manifold is the best?

[swifteagle]

iam building a 90 awd what manifold would have the best spool time with a hx52? my motor is a built 6bolt eagle/wiseco no bs shafts built 1g head with crower 284/280 cams 2150cc e85 sd and jackel.

Thats a big turbo. I dont think spool time will matter. But as far as a mani, you can contact joe at redjack racing. He does good work. Dont cheap out, just buy once. Your looking for 600+ for a good one. Or jim at jmfab.

a pic of the motor in the car.

should i go top mount jmf or get a dnp? if anyone has a good jmf top mount let me know

 

[jpmxrider489]

Well my opinion, a top mount would need a lot more fabrication to make it work. I have a redjack racing t3 mani, and its great quality. I wouldnt get a top mount. Both joe and jim do great work. But joe is a bit more cheaper.

A HX52 on a T3 manifold...heh. I would definitely go with Redjack though. Joe does real good work and can definitely make you the T4 manifold you need. Whether or not you want to go top mount is up to you, but regardless, Joe can make you whatever you want!

dnp has a t4 manifold thare is a used one on craiglist for 350$ but top mount does look sweet tho

A HX52 on a T3 manifold...heh.

Whats this mean . Im running the hx40 with a t3.

But yes joe could make your what you want. Your going to have to use the stock hx housing because BEP dont make a housing for the hx52.

 

[swifteagle]

I'll have to call Him. does anyone know what exhaust flange is on the hx52 Is it just a 4" vband?

 

[jpmxrider489]

Its either 3 or 4. But either way, youll need a custom exhuast.

Here is the number to joe at redjack racing.570-780-9188
Here is a link that shows pics and a bunch of talk about the manifolds.

There is quite a difference between a 40 and a 52. As mentioned before, get a good manifold (NOT DNP!! They are decent, but the 52 weighs a metric f**k ton, and you wouldnt want it cracking). Buy once, buy the real deal, and never have an issue

 

[bastarddsm]

you definatly will need a true twinscroll manifold for that turbo. Expect to make full boost at about 5200RPM, and build a motor that you wind to 10K+

Personally, if I was looking to run a HX52, I'd look for one of the HKS T4 manifolds, like shep used to run. There was a place remaking them. ONGREEN performance I think.

I had the HX52 with the DNP T4 TS mani. It only had one wastegate so I'm sure there was room for improvement with boost response. Mr.Peepers said he installed a divider up to the wastegate seat and boost response was greatly improved.

The flange on the turbine housing is actually a T5 but all you have to do is widen a few bolt holes and it'll bolt up to a t4 mani.

I added the spacer for clearance of the water pipe. I forgot to add that Bwhite runs this exact same combo. He seems to like it but hasn't got to take full advantage of it yet due to an accident and tranny failure (imagine that).

The exhaust outlet is a 4'' vband with a 4.75'' lip. You'll have to lathe the lip down to 4.5'' to get a dp to fit.

Check out this thread. Bwhite has a lot of good info and some logs up to 40psi.

 

[swifteagle]

Thanks for the info that Manifold looks good. What rpm did you start to see boost at?

 

[tron2119]

Full boost is about 5500 to 35 psi on Bwhite's setup. I never got mine running Had to sell to pay some bills but I will have another! If he would weld in a divider at the WG I'm sure it would be better.

Someday I'll have a car with a hx52 can't imagine the power that snail puts out.

Just got My hx52 in here is a pic next to a ebay gt35.

What manifold did you decide on?

 

[SIMGSX]

My brother, John, at Strictly Import Motorsports is doing a compound set up with the H1c and HX52. he might be able to give a little information about what is best set up/ manifold to use. number to the shop is 269-350-9055.

 

[tron2119]

I'm VERY interested to see their results with that compound setup! ^^

 

[swifteagle]

I got a obx for now so i get get my car going i dont want to spend 1000$ on a manifold right now. i'am goint to take 1/4 round bar stainless to reinforce it.

 

[swifteagle]

Got the turbo on.

pic of the turbo on

 

[MarsaGSX]

What kind of manifold is this?? divided or single WG??
THX

 

[swifteagle]

It is just a cheap obx t4 manifold. For now.
