Questions for Justin...

[nfernotalon]

Craaaap ok thanks. Ill just get a t3 manifold.

 

[REVELATION_34]

yes... you have one

Question.

I have a 10.5-1 alum rod engine being built, & am thinking of getting rid of my s375 in favor of a 6-blade HX-40. I have a question about what housing I should go with. Car will be at 40psi, & was thinking of getting a t-4 divided or possible t-3 divided. Just don't know what A/R. Car will see mostly track life with the occasional street. Thanks, for the help I am in the dark with Holsets. Also what power & spool level would I be likely to see.

 

[11Banger]

E85 only Also ^

Any reason you're considering dropping 15mm on compressor spec? If you're worried about spool, I'd be more inclined to suggest something like a S366 which is a 9mm drop in compressor spec but may still use the same turbine housing (depending on turbine specs) and oiling hardware as your S375. Changing platforms entirely would require purchasing a bunch of new hardware.

Plans have changed for the car, the original build plans where for a drag only car more or less, I was just looking for something with more streetablility. I don't mind full spool at 6k & shifting at 9.5K, just want something a little more "instant". I don't mind changing hardware

 

[11Banger]

I am looking into the s366 right now because you are the 3rd Person to recommend that change up.

I was just doing some research on the Holsets & am impressed by the #'s.

Also if I am correct doesn't the HX40 flow more Lbs/min than the s366

 

[Archer Fabrications]

60mmHx40=70lb/min full spool by 4900

 

[11Banger]

Thanks^^^

Slowly learning what I can about the holsets. Just got a lot of reading going on.

 

[LandSpeed-DSM]

s366 is an >80lb/min turbo. You going to sell the S375?

Sent you a PM

 

[11Banger]

Thanks Justin & everyone else.. Made my choice on the s366 today. I appreciate it.

 

[spadepro22]

Whats a new Holset t3 divided housing with the internal wg worth? Figure I won't need it.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

What model holset.

 

[spadepro22]

Oh yea, Hx35

 

[JusMX141]

Whatever someone's willing to pay- my guess would be between $50-$150....the size of the housing being the deciding factor on overall value.

Hey Justin got one more question.

As you know I just traded my s375 for a s366 with the T-4 .91 A/R. After contacting Bullseye they told me the only other A/R they sell is a T-3 .70 A/R. my question/concern is that the .70 will limit a turbo of this size.

I asked them directly but of course got a answer that basically says "Buy Me It won't" from them. Just looking at your opinions/help on the matter.

They produced such a turbo which did have the .70 turbine housing on it, and to my knowledge it worked fairly well. I wouldn't recommend it if you have a stroker and plan on running a high boost level, but with a 2.0 I think you'll be very happy.

Yeah after looking around their site, I saw the .70 isn't recommended over 25+psi, which won't work with my 42psi plans.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Why is that? Is the 366 that much bigger then the hx40

 

[Zufelt]

Hey Justin, just curious if it would be okay to feed the 16g from the Oil filter housing, and if this kit would be all I need to install it without any problems.. Thanks!

Any do's or don'ts for getting the compressor nut off when 3 flats of the turbine "nut" were ground off during balancing? I don't see any other options besides holding the wheel somehow. Vice and wood blocks? Strap wrench? I swear these garrett turbos have the nuts set to 100 ft lbs too, it takes some heat and everything my 3/8ths impact wrench has to get them off. I got the 56 trim blown apart right after I melted my left thumb off with the torch, but the 50 trim is kicking my ass with this mangled turbine nut. Mitsu turbos have been way easier...

I wouldn't without using a +/- .075" restrictor.

There's plenty of info on this site about proper 16G oiling as well as how to install a 16G on a 2G on a budget without buying an installation kit.

Garrett's good for this....even worse on the T2 series which has a triangular "nut" from the factory. Once a bit of this is ground away during balancing, there's nothing left to hold onto.

I find a bench vise clamped just behind the "nut" works best on stubborn turbines. Heat the compressor locknut, and I've yet to run into a turbo I couldn't get apart using that clamping method along with my 3/8" impact. Keep in mind the compressor locknut is likely left-hand threaded.

 

[Kevin Jewer]

Yup, I did verify it is left hand threaded. There is a tiny bit of meat behind the nut, I'll see if I can get the vice on it. Thanks!

Justin Hi!!

I just traded off a small 12g from a starion to a 3 cylinders guy for it.I know is a 20G but i can't seem to find any info on it.I ask because the turbine housing seems a lot bigger than a regular td05H.Anyways here are some pics.

Turbo looks like it got something sucked and damed the compressor wheel but apart from that is in awesome shape.Hope you can help me.

Just measured both wheels:

Compressor: 52mm more or less inducer.
Turbine wheel:55mm more or less exducer and inducer 65mm more or less.

Tried to put it on a regular 7cm td05h turbine housing and it will not fit.
