Holset Turbos, PART 8

[prostreetdsmx1]

Hey folks,

Quick update. We're all out of the HX35 DSM Bolt on housings. I do have 2 of the HX40 DSM Housings and we have some of the T3 HX35 and HX40 Housings.

Thanks!

Quick update on my setup.

I was having problems trying to get a coupler on and getting it tightened down due to the flaring on the compressor outlet of the HX40 so I had some welding done.

Got a nice 90* cast aluminum elbow welded onto the outlet and had the VRSF LICP altered. The stock pipe starts at 2" then expands to 2.5". The 2" section was cut and welded with 2.5" pipe

Holding so much better

 

[Mr Peepers]

^Turned out very nice!

Yep, I saw that, Congrats.
Are you still running the HK$ 264/272's?

Thank you

Yessir still on the same cams. Don't think I'll ever get rid of the cams or stock intake mani, I like where the powerband sits too much.

In regards to the outlet on the turbo, another option that may be cheaper for some is to use a stock 2g throttle body elbow with the flange cut off and have that welded on. This was done on my hx40 before i got it and it works perfectly.

Here are some pics

The 2G throttle body elbow is only slightly over 2" I.D. I wouldn't really recommend doing this as the I.D. of the elbow you're welding on is smaller than the outlet of the compressor cover.

I just want to get a idea where everyone is reaching full spool at on there setups. I want a nice efficient set up but still very fun on the street. Please post displacement and hotsides ect. Thanks

BTW I have been talking with BEP and it looks like I can get my hands on some hx35 bolt on housing next week.

 

[Calan]

28psi @ 4000 RPM, but I think I can do better with some cam adjustment.

HX40 with 60mm inducer on .55 BEP housing.

 

[turbotalon1g]

A local dyno'd his HX40 at 35-37psi in bolton housing stock bottom end made 556awhp on a dynojet.

Isn't that kind of low?
Car has all supporting mods, including magnus SMIM.

 

[MindBlowin03]

What type of gas? Which version of the HX-40? That seems like a good number for a tiny bolt on housing.

I get 25psi right around 3300-3400 rpm in 5th gear with my hx35 in a bep housing.

I don't think that's low considering a 7.8:1 compression ratio.

The 2G throttle body elbow is only slightly over 2" I.D. I wouldn't really recommend doing this as the I.D. of the elbow you're welding on is smaller than the outlet of the compressor cover.

I know it may not be recommended but i did this to my car several months ago. If you have access to the supplies and a tig welder Then it does work fairly well. Makes putting on the l.i.c.p very easy and you gont have to mess around with reducer couplers. I did have to cut my compressor outlet on a slight angle to mate the t.b. elbow and have it clear the motor mount bracket. Hope this helps.

So I finally got another hx35 on my car works great and right away I have boost again. Drove for about a day then it started smoking when I rev it up took off an intercooler pipe and there's oil in there. Is it going past the turbo seals? I checked the oil pressure and doesn't go past 80 to redline. Should I use a restrictor anyway?

I was planning on goin the nitrous jet way. There is also no Abnormal play on the turbo.

 

[JusMX141]

You either have too much incoming pressure or your drain is restricted somehow.

So i am sitting here looking at a 53mm 7 blade hx35 and a 59mm 7 blade hx40g(water cooled) I already have a hx35 BEP .55ar but I can easily get the hx40 BEP housing. Which one would you go with. How much slower is the spool. What is up with this 53mm 7blade?

 

[JusMX141]

Depends on your goal....and there are no 53mm HX35 or 59mm HX40 wheels, you're looking at a 54mm HX35 and 60mm HX40 wheel.

 

[TofastForU_99]

Ya its hard to measure the 7 blade wheels. Its just how much spool will i sacrifice by going to a 60mm hx40. The car is a street car. Looking for an 11 sec pass this year. I think the 7 blade hx40 would be better for what I am going to do down the road. I think I might do the hx40 with a .55ar housing. Expected spool before 4k?

 

[viperlp01]

7 blade 60mm HX40 in the .55ar housing is in the works. Should have it installed tonight if not tomorrow. Then to the track asap.

 

[MindBlowin03]

I currently run a 56mm HX-40 with the T3 .70 a/r housing and see 38psi by 4800 RPMs. I also have a 60mm PRO that I will be throwing on this winter.

 

[viperlp01]

I threw it on and see 22 psi around 4200.. I might have some boost leaks but I am impressed so far.

 

[big_d]

Now sell me that hx35 housing on the cheap . Its good to hear its running well.

 

[viperlp01]

I just posted up my hx35 and Wh1c in the classifieds. I need to get my meth hooked back up or get my car to start in the cold mornings on e85. The turbo is CRAZY loud. I took off my apexi c/b and just made up a straight 3in exhaust. No resonators or mufflers(ya michigan)... Poor android quality video but here it is..

I would like to ask u guys, i bought this elbow , 2.5"

You must be logged in to view this image or video.

should I weld it up , or is it easier to look for the vband clamp for the hx40 compressor cover ?
any of u guys know where i can find the vband clamp n flange for the hx40 ? , i would like to weld the flange to this aluminium elbow,

 

[Mr Peepers]

You would have to cut the vband off the original elbow and have it welded to a 2.5" pipe anyway. Might as well just weld the 90* directly to the compressor cover if you won't have a need to clock it differently later.

 

[thilaksharma]

if i still insist on getting the flange n vband, any ideas where i could get em ?
thnk u
