    That is a 16cm HX52W I'm 99% sure.

    Without seeing pics, I'd not know if yours is real or one made elsewhere.

    But to be honest Chinese copies won't spool any different really.

    Well lads, love this thread but think I over-read it so my head is a bit confused on what to do! :wack:

    I'm currently saving a for a single turbo conversion and looking to know if the hybrid turbo 'heavyweight' is selling here worth looking into?

    http://www.driftworks.com/forum/par...36016-hx35w-twinscrolled-ar-0-57-garrett.html

    or 'magicmats'

    I currently have a 1JZ non-vvt in an Altezza and would like something around the 500hp mark, give or take...

    If I got either of the above, what else would I need to get to complete the conversion?

    Stavros- I have a 2.5 m20 bmw engine im putting a new HY35W onto, the outlet of the turbo is a 2.5inch V-band, ive read allot about people getting better results at higher rpm when they have taken the 2.5 V off and welded on a 3" v band.

    what would be your input on this ? Thanks

    Fuck yeah. The 2.5in outlet is the main weak point of the turbo. It's why Holset themselves made later HE341 and HE351s with 4in or whatever outlets, as it helps spool and power over a 2.5, which is just too small for best performance.

    Bare minimum you will want to do is make the exhaust 3in+ straight after the outlet. 2.5in is too small.

    Martin Wonnacott, actually has cut the whole rear end off the HY35s he uses on his 1JZ and welded a big (3.5 or 4in i think) pipe so its almost direct from the turbine housing (so like a HE341 or HE351 is), and he's got I think 515bhp and full boost by 3k out of his.

    Awesome thats what i wanted to hear, few people are saying dont bother with the HY35, but im just thinking there donuts without the tools or knowledge to cut off a flange and tig a new one on :).

    i have a 3" full exhaust for the car , i cant get 3.5 or 4" down past the steering joint, im going for 400bhp.

    thanks

    I changed my downpipe from 3" to a little over 4". It made spool the turbo faster by 200-300 rpm without remapping. Top end i dont know, with the 3" pipe it made 516hp with an hx40, now it makes 460hp with hy35, 4"downpipe, 3,5" rest of exhaust but still with raher bad mapping. Ignition is ar 6,9 degree bdtc at 1,5 bar. I think there still is a little room to play with.
    400 hp should be no problem on the bmw engine.

    Thought I'd replied to your PM, but guess not.

    Both look ok, the one using the Garrett turbine housing will spool faster as its a tiny turbine housing, tho no idea who the bloke is or who built the turbo as he a 2post person.
    And no idea how that tiny housing will restrict the HX35, as it's fucking minuscule, smaller than a HY35 even, and if it's bored out to fit the bigger HX35 wheel then the 'real' a/r is much smaller than even the 0.57 it's listed as, if the housing originally was 0.57.

    HX35 12cm at least is a proven unit.

    Hi,

    I bought a HE341 from Compressor Racing for my RB20. How did you loop or close the waterlines and can I use the oem oil return?

    Just thought I'd mention my results from today at H-Dev, Holset HY35 with 9cm housing. Forged SR20, BC264 cams dialled in. Highest pull was 506 @ fly, 433 @ wheels,
    Was getting a bit noisy though top end so was knocked back slightly to 483, 412 respectively. Boost was 1.9 Bar

    Had a look through but probably missed this. HX35 on a 1JZ (stock cams), 12cm housing, looking to run with a single wastegate but need a size recommendation. Hopefully be 3.5" exhaust from the turbo back but might have to put up with a 3" downpipe.

    Yea but CBA with photobucket n stuff at the mo, basically it ramps up and torque peaks at 4650, power @ 390 at this point then it slowly climbs to 483 at 5900, sits there till about 6300 then starts to tail off

    Anyone know what the difference between a hx40 and a hx40g is?
    G = Gated?

    Water cooled core.

    HX40G would be any combo in the world, wastegate, non wastegate. Small housing, huge housing, any kind of HX40 wheel, anything.
    The G literally means nothing on a Holset barring it's got a waster cooled centre core.

    Usually as it was intended to be fitted to some kind of spark ignition engine as standard, petrol, or most commonly, CNG.

    So makes no real difference from a tuning/performance point of view.

    Hi guys im new here. Im planning on using a hx35w on a rb26.
    I did mine a bit different. I have like 3 of these turbos and have tried them on r20 straight up to rb25. Now im going to be beating on a 26. All of the ones i have are t3 internal gates what i noticed is that the turbo in this form can't boost under 22 psi due to the gate venting from only one scroll not both. That was a let down as well as caused me to rip my hair out trying to figure out what was going on. So not having an external gate rear housing. I modified the internal gate one. It didnt turn out to bad. Im about to try this smaller rear housing which should be way more responsive. Ill keep you guys posted.
    Damn now how do i link a photo from my phone gallery??
