Hx52 set-up

[tron2119]

Nice! Gives me hope for my build What is that spacer you're using between the turbine housing and the exhaust mani. Also what method did you use to get the bolt holes on the turbine housing and the exhaust mani to match up? And are you planning on taking it to the dyno anytime soon?

 

[bwhite]

The spacer is just a divided t4 flange. I used some carbide bits that I bought off the snap-on guy to widen the holes. That cost me 125 bucks. I did two holes on the manifold and two on the turbine housing. I am not to sure about the dyno as I noticed the clutch is starting to slip and I think im runninf out of fuel. Now for the bummer. Yesterday morning my wife drove my truck through the garage door into my car and pushed the car through the back of the garage. So now a week away from the shootout and im not sure ill be able to make w/ the car. I worked hard all year to get this thing together for this one event and now this!!

I was in the HX-52 business but since I move back to California I drop it. I had a couple complications with the head lifting, etc...

However I have a thermal coated JH Racing 100% twin-scroll manifold and dump tubes along with the HX-52 if you are interested and a heat wrapped 4" side exhaust all setup for it. Twin-scroll makes a world of difference in spool time and widens the boost range!

Where were you guys seeing 25psi at? Bwhite? 1gdsm4g63?

Made 598.8whp/437.7 lb-ft at 27 psi then the head started lifting if I went high boost but that differs when you're running a single scroll.

SAY WHAT

Yea exactly what I said when I got the call. I almost started to cry on the spot.

Where were you guys seeing 25psi at? Bwhite? 1gdsm4g63?

I was seeing 22 psi by 4700 rpm. I have nearly the same spool as the hx35 in open form.

 

[1gDSM4g63]

Seeing the same boost-to-rpm range as bwhite.

Twin-scroll setup works wonders for a big turbo low boost-to-rpm range and mad power! Albeit I was having problems getting over 27 psi because the head was lifting and the coolant was surging out from the overflow can.

That is awsome for just 27psi. Most Holsets really don't come alive until after 30. And you 1g guys with your 1/2 acre of realestate in the engine bay just makes me sick.

 

[ckrell]

Whats the lbs/min at 27 psi?

Don't be pissed at her, it just a car and I am hoping it was an accident.

 

[bwhite]

It was an accident, and I am pissed but im not taking it out on her. I know thats the wrong thing to do. Plus im hoping that Ill make out in this with some of the garage repair money if I can repair it cheap enough.

this is a hx 52 thread

You clearly aren't reading it. Everything ties together.

Sucks to hear this about the mishap. Hope you can get everything together... even though it's in 4 days!!

Now for the bummer. Yesterday morning my wife drove my truck through the garage door into my car and pushed the car through the back of the garage. So now a week away from the shootout and im not sure ill be able to make w/ the car. I worked hard all year to get this thing together for this one event and now this!!

Does that help explain anything?

 

[bwhite]

I have some short logs of 40+ psi pulls Ill post tonight. Thanks Everyone. I think im going to patch a few things up and run it with no tail light on the left side.

 

[ckrell]

Well I guess, It does suck what happened to Bwhite but if everyone sent condolences to bwhite threw this thread it would be a mess ( PM's ). I'm sure he's very busy with repairs. I do hope he gets back on track his contributions are a credit to this thread and form. Does anyone know what kind of PPM people are getting at 27ish psi with HX52?

[red1993gsallmt]

I have plans of upgrading to an HX52 from my GT35R over the fall/winter. I was just wondering if you had any track or dyno dates set up yet? I am very interested to see what kind of #'s you put down. I am extremely impressed with your spool time. I am interested to see how this setup works with my custom forward facing manifold.

Keep us up to date.

I am currently looking for this manifold to run on my car. Does anyone know if this company is still in business, this was the cheapest t4 flang manifold I could find besides the dnp and would like to save money on my build where I can.
