I am looking for advice from someone who has ran both the E316g and HX-35. That HX-35 just looks so damn sexy and I have heard they have quick spool.

How quick? Is it as quick as a 16g? I have also heard these holsets can take a beating. They were orginally for diesel trucks.
 
I bought my h1c for $150 just bought my bolt on housing and all thats left to do is make custom drain lines and feed lines for the right amount of pressure/flow from my motor. The bolt on housing was $300 add lines and thats ??? $550 Into it costs the same or less than a evo 3 16g. But if you want to bolt on immediately and go then stick with the E3.
 
Yep the 54mm inducer h1c can be had for dirty cheap. Compressor flows as much as a 20g. And as a bolton, the hotside flows as much or more than a t06h/7cm^2 turbine. In the 4th or 5th holset thread, I have logs showing how it rates with midrange flow and spool to the small 16g turbo. . . more flow at the same midrage rpm (5K i believe), and at lower boost and higher intake air temp. You did say you don't care much about after 6k ;). . .
 
Cost list for the FP turbo = Cost of the turbo.

Cost of a HX-35 = Cost of Turbo + Rebuild Kit + BEP Housing + Anything else I need to piece together to install it.
 
If you don't want to bend your stock ones ???

Drain is all the issue. And there's photos and details of various options discussed and linked in the holset threads.

got my beautiful 54mm h1c turbo that really didn't need a rebuild for $150, rebuild kit was $100. Bep housing is $250. Lines and adapters and even oil pressure gauge was about $70 total. :confused: ???


The fp turbo isn't just bolt-n-go either. They are going to tell you to feed from the OFH and mhi feed inlets arnt like garrett, no? Not to mention the intercooler piping.

But hey whatever you want.

That $550 gets you a rusty, used, busted a$$ truck turbo in who knows what condition, instead of a BRAND NEW turbo with a 12 month warranty from Mitsubishi, that actually belongs on a dsm and that will also have 70% of its value left come resale time.
 
I see so many guys on here with HX-35s with a built motor and supporting mods and guess what... they still run 12s.

I see people who KNOW what they're doing running 11s all day on 14bs.

It's not about how big the turbo is, its about what the limitation is - in most cases the owner of the car.

I want to do both, I want to get my 14b car to do a high 11 and then put on that HX-35 and once tuned should get me a high 10 with some driving.
