    so its you that bought it !, they have a Billet HX35 atm, 12cm twin scroll, im inlove with it :cool:

    Hy35 will be good on a 2.0, few friends have just put a 16cm hx35 on a saab 2.0 in a astra, it makes full boost at 4k, the spool time is ridiculously slow haha.

    I've had mine for 7-8 months as been having manifold custom made.
    I also had issues with oil leaking from exhaust houseing
    Compressor racing had it back and found a faulty turbines shaft and replaced it free of charge, can't fault there service and help.

    I'm hoping for around 500bhp mark with fifth full boost about 3.5k - 4K

    Should b ready for mapping in the next couple of weeks

    ah not you then, theres one just sold on ebay (compressor racing), wasnt up more than a week :)


    same place i got mine from , i cant fault them, there certainly know there turbos..


    im toying with the idea of changing mine to a 12cm hx35 twin scroll. they said that a single scroll 12cm vs a twin 12cm will spool around 1000rpm sooner on a 2.5.

    so im hoping going from 10cm single to 12cm twin, will have same if not less spool.

    If it makes full boost at 4k, when does it start to make boost?

    4k isn't bad on a 2.0L with a 600hp turbo and a large 16cm housing - that must be twin scroll?

    That's decent for single scroll and a big 16cm housing to be fair lol. A 1.05 a/r housing Garrett GT35R on a 2ltr spools slower than that.

    Can usually knock 500-1000rpm off with a decent twin scroll mind. I know a lot of the 4G63 people in the USA see full 25psi+ by 3500rpm with twin scroll and 12cm housings. You can max out a HX35 at 600odd using a 12cm housing on a 2ltr anyhow.

    I have what I believe to be a HX32 or equivalent.

    Bought second hand from the states advertised as a HE341.

    Took it apart and it has a 8cm single turbine housing with HX30 size 65/52mm turbine.
    Compressor is 54/78mm 7 blade so larger than the HX30 Super which I understand to be 46/78mm?

    So is it a HX32?

    I'm now after a twinscroll 12cm turbine housing for it, if anyone's selling?

    What power is this thing capable of? How would it spool with the 8cm single versus 12cm twin?

    I'd prefer twinscroll as I have a twinscroll mani with twin gates and it raises the detonation limit with pump fuel on my engine due to eliminating reversion.

    aint that easy on a petrol, unless you plumb it the way stavros did on the merc. You cant just use the boost source as the vnt control because when cruising there is monster back pressure and a petrol likes to see the free'r flowing of a normal turbine housing.
    the way porche do it is by using electronic actuators which open when cruising then close up dependent on throttle and load to give response thats instant but also works on a petrol, its a pain

    After a bit of advice.
    Have a 1JZ Z20 soarer.
    Bought a turbo off A guy on here advertised as an HE351 (HX40 comp, 9cm ex) but after setting it beside my mates HX35 it appears to be similar size comp housing so I'm guessing it's an HE341? Or is it just the wheels that I can measure to find out?

    [​IMG]

    I know stavros had great results with it on his RB20 but would it be too small for ~450bhp @1.5bar on a 1JZ?

    One on the left looks like a HE351CW to me.

    Bet if you measured the compressor inducer it's bigger than a HX35 one.

    And a HY35/HE341 is proven at a touch over 500bhp at 1.5bar on a 1JZ, there's been dyno graphs posted on here, so...

    I'm happy with that. Would stick it on and run it regardless and see how it goes. Be more power than il know how to use anyway

    Wheel appears bigger on mine but I always thought the he351 had an hx40 housing aswel as the wheel

    just curious, what determines an HX52 from an HX52 PRO?

    i have com across a billet wheel hx52 with 16cm turbine housing, and also what looks like a cast wheel hx52 with 11cm turbine housing.
    i was told the 11cm is somewhat of a "rare" find?

    "Pro" and "Super" are often the names aftermarket sellers often give to the "Special" Holsets, the rare ones particularly suited to aftermarket tuning. Not just 52s, but all sorts.

    6 blade 40s are often called pro, as are billet 52s, 11cm 52s, all sorts.

    11cm HX52s are indeed rare as rocking horse shit. I'd never seen one in my life until a year or so ago.

    There's 2 versions I've seen, one with the usual T4i flange, so ideal, and another with some oddball long thing flange off, I dunno what tbf, which is less ideal as you'd need a custom flange.
    Both rare though.

    Please note tho! 16cm housings have a II marking on them on the outside, and I've seen some people call them 11s, when they're 16s! It will say 11 or 16 inside the turbine inlet flange.
    And to be honest, 11s are much much smaller housings anyhow, so can tell just by looking.

    perfect, that clears it up quite a bit.
    im picking up both turbos, the 16cm hx52 was an "New" raman turbo with all original holset badging. the 11cm hx52 is used in need of a rebuild. but for 215$ plus shipping, thats cheaper than say a garrett t4 housing alone.

    oh BTW, the seller has 5 11cm hx52's in stock if anyone wanted to pick one up for the rare housing!

    after looking closer, that 11cm housing looks like the oddball size. hopefully i can contact the seller

    Hi guys I'm new here...running a BMW e36 with a 1jzgte swap. Currently just dumped in an 8-blade compressor hx35w with a 14cm turbine housing connected to a 3" down pipe and straight piping till end...to complete the set up, I am running an emanage blue with ignition harness, and a 38mm turbosmart ultragate with a screamer pipe. Have ported the t3 turbine inlet slightly and the 2.5" 5 bolt turbine flange to match the 3" vband to the down pipe. Have also sealed up the internal wastegate chamber as I'm running an external now. Any estimates on what I would be getting on say 1.2 bar of boost at the wheels? Thanks guys
