Holset Turbos, PART 6

[Slippi84]

I know this isn't a for sale thread or anything but I have a bunch of stuff left over from my holset endeavors.

compressor housing for 60mm wheel
-10 oil pan fitting
-10 pushlok hose
-10 poshlok fittings
-4 oil feed with FP Red Restrictor in the middle
-4 fitting that threads right into the CHRA
Oil Filter Housing fitting that converts to -4

Anyone need any of this? PM me offers.

And yet still you post.....WTF

who makes a bolt on oil inlet flange that can bolt on to the oil inlet of a holset hx40

This is the one I'm using.

EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts - Extreme PSI Turbo Oil Feed Threaded Inlet Flange: 1/8" NPT

alright thanks! I got my setup on the streets last night with a small vband leak and a small leak coming from my oil feed. The cars a beast, full spool at 4400rpms and it sounds like an NA Honda until then.

Just trying to help out the people still running holsets, as I'll never need this stuff again.

 

[gbradley]

How much boost are you running?

 

[need2boostpsi]

Im running 26/27PSI on 93Oct and 15* of timing

My Dejon intake pipe will be in today and the BEP housing will be in tomorrow so hopefully this weekend I can get everything installed and tuned.

After reading up, the bolts for the bep housing are the same as stock T25 right?, Where do I get some new ones? Also Is there a trick to getting the bep seprated from the turbo?

Why is it impossible to find a T3 V-Band BEP housing? I can't get a hold of anyone that sells them, even when I leave messages and emails. Can someone point me in the right direction? PM me please!

Call tim's turbo's or the turbo trader. For a month that was all they had. I'm sure they still have them.

Any hardware store should have the bolts you are looking for, you can take one of your old ones in and compare to make sure you find the right size.

When I first got my turbo, the turbine housing was 'stuck' onto the CHRA and I couldn't get it to budge even after all bolts were removed (I think this is the same problem you are having?). What I ended up doing was put 2 sockets on 2 bolts opposite each other that hold the turbine housing to the CHRA and basically use those as extensions to push up the rest of the turbo from the turbine housing when loosening the bolts. Make sure to alternate loosening each bolt to keep the CHRA straight.

Ok thanks,

Does the housing back right off or does it need to be rotated? only ever worked on a v-band before so this is new to me.

 

[talonDSMerr]

Should back right off.

Well today I picked up my bep housing, after months of waiting and being told "only one more week" by bullseye along with many other excuses. I was very excited to get this home and start putting it together. When I took it out of the package I gave it a good look down. I was fairly disappointed and sort of amazed by the poor machining quality of the product. There were huge burrs left inside where they would indefinitely heat up and break up possibly causing damage to the fins. Also from them machining the casting so thin, it chipped in a few areas from it being to thin/ poor machining which after some heat cycles could lead to cracking. It's like they don't do any quality assurance checks at all on their parts.

It was kind of hard getting a good picture of this.
Also the finish quality was pretty poor, there was a lot of chatter not that it matters too much but it still brings down overall quality.

After filing and sanding for a while trying to clean up the edges I was left with a pile of metal burrs that could have cause some good damage to the wheel.

After that hassle things went together pretty well. I can't say I'll ever do business with bullseye ever again though.

Great so now where am I going to get my housing from if yours is so poor in quality? This is getting old.

 

[donniekak]

Wow, i am very glad i bought a used one in good condition after seeing this. They must have taken so long to make because little kids were making them. I would have sent that back.
My take on my holset experience is this. I love my hx40, it's the biggest turbo i would like on a street driven car. It spools quickly, and regains boost quick after shifts. The only problem i had was trying to deal with bullseye, every week for over a month i was told, next week. If i would have went along with their song and dance and recieved a product like that, i would have sent it straight back. Unacceptable.

 

[ninesixtwo]

I had the turbo trader send mine straight to swaintech, then up to me. I hope to god mine doesn't come up looking like that, because I know who's going to end up eating the cost of recoating another housing.

 

[dsm-onster]

I'm starting to think the BEP bolton housing is too small to fit any t4 or hx40 wheel in. As you can see the walls of the housign gets VERY thin once you open it up to 76mm. Th hx40 turbine wheel is larger in diameter than a P-trim. The fast spool is great and all, but the .70/ar turbine housing also allows alot more power at the same boost. Not too many mitsubishi flanged exhaust manifolds flow well enough for what the hx40 can easily do.

 

[fastfive0]

Wow after seeing that one...glad I got a good one .....Maybe next year i will switch to a straight t4 setup!

 

[lazyazzdaddy]

when i got my hx35 with bep housing about a year ago i had to do some "cleaning up" also. but mine was no were as bad as yours. I would have sent it back also. but, i do suppose after such a long wait that was the last thing you wanted to do!

 

[JWoodley]

If anyone is interested in selling a T3 .70 housing for an HX40 please PM me. I'm debating dynoing both setups back to back, but I'd need some help from you guys.

I already have a 3"vband downpipe, but I would potentially need a T3 manifold and wastegate.

 

[dsm-onster]

The different manifold and turbine outlet will also significantly alter dyno results. The t3 turbine housing forces you to install better parts.

Ha ha.. Very true, Matt!! But this also makes the grin on your face HUGE...
P.S. And it stays there.

 

[dsm-onster]

Well as long as every one knows that he's testing build PATHS, not turbine housings . The grin is for the effort Definately a superior build path going with a t3 (or h3 or KKK2 or IHI rb or whatever bolt pattern you call it: the industry standard) bolt pattern turbine housing.
