Disappointing to hear about the lag, I really hope mine isn't that bad :/ Everything else sounds great though! Hope the head feed works out in the long run

this one has the smaller turbine of the two styles hx 35 and 40 respectively), it's a 60mm exducer, i forget the larger size on the major diamteter though but that might be near 70mm, but either way according to the info we have this is supposed to be the same turbine as the hx35, but either way you're correct on it being least as large as a stage 5 wheel (haven't had a gt35 wheel to look at)
i did a few more runs to check oil pressure and never got below 12psi at the head at idle andkept it consistant at alow side of 25psi hot
well, depends on what you're running for cams, ther timing and turbine housing to start with, but unless you run a bolt on housing i suspect it would be similar, and like I said my cam timing is the opposite of what you want for fast spool and my ignition timing is no where near setup for spooling either, so don't take my results as an benchmark of what yours will doDisappointing to hear about the lag, I really hope mine isn't that bad :/ Everything else sounds great though!

Yeah HX35/H1C's are 70/60 and HX40's are 76/64 and a bigger one too I think. They are huge.
Becareful with that low of pressure. Keep an eye on it, the thrust bearing will go quick running much boost on it with little oil.

forgot to hit reply earlier on this post but after just going to the store for smokes i found that i am hitting 20psi by 4k RPM in 3rdgear (just as the info at the beggining of all the hoslet threads suggests i would) and i still have cam timing to play with.. I set boost to 21psi and one thing i can say is this turbo is boost happy, i can still spike 30psi like it's nothing from just a fast gear change or getting on the throttle too quickly anywhere above where the spoolingis normally done by (4500RPM and above)
Yea, i've been aware of those specs since before getting the holset, i just don't know what to do really at this point and the reason is all other turbos have lived happily from the head and i've never fed one from the OFH on my car.. I've done a few others but they were mostly turbos with restrictors in them from PTE (done a lot of PTE installs)
I would really like to know what garrett calls for on a t3/t4 equipped wtih a 360* thrust bearing (known for high oil demands) because if both called for 30 i'd be inclined to leave the feed right where it is
ANyway... i won't abuse it untill i'm confident in my oiling setup, but like i've always kinda thought about this when looking at the high pressures originally on building this engine was "im only wide open for 10-15 seconds or less in the worst case scenario"
but whoo-haaaa i defintely want to make sure she lives a long life as possible, there's not a single moment of the multiple times i've went out this evening that the turbo hasn't impressed me just a tad bit more than the previouse trip out.
tomorrow if i feel good on the oiling still i'll get you some logs, they aren't hard to pull,, but hosting .csv files is something i haven't found a good way to do yet... how do people host their dsmlink logs so easily? i can't seem to get the .csv files to attach here for some reason
Glad it's working out for you Glenn. I've been getting a Holset itch after seeing the results people are getting from them!
