Hx35 help

[ty92dsm]

Ok so I'm running the FP manifold and im having some fitment issues with the hx35. I have already cleared the water pipe but the compressor outlet points straight into the front motor mount. I'm wondering if anyone else has ran into this problem and what was the solution? I would post a picture but my damn iPhone won't let me

Rotate the compressor housing till it clears.. That's what I did on mine.

That's what I was going to try thanks man

Yea it'll work, make sure you add the coupler and your fmic piping before bolting everything on just so you know that the fitment is good.

Got any pictures of fitment before and after clocking the compressor housing? I'd like to go to them for reference when I install mine this summer. Thanks

I have the exact same setup as the OP and this worked 100% for me. However, you *may* run into issues with the oil drain; see HERE for help on that.

If this is in reference to the oil drain problem, my calibrated eyeball tells me I'd have to remove more of the mount than I would be comfortable with to get the fitting to clear.

My calibrated butt dyno said the hx40 i ran with a big u ground into the front motor mount bracket was a beast at 38 psi. The mount was fine.

Would you mind posting a picture of how much you took out?

I don't have that car anymore. It was a nice sized chunk cut out of it.

Yea I know, but I didn't mean to rotate the turbo by loosening the exhaust side. You can rotate the compressor cover without messing up on how the oil is gonna drain.

Sorry for any confusion; but the issue I was describing was with the oild at 12 and 6; just wanted to give the OP a heads up.

Yea it will easily work. I did it without cuting the mount.
