If you send a pm to b18bturbo he'll also be able to hook you up. He got me an hy35w with only 10K miles on it!!!! I can't wait to get it running, should be about a week or 2...i'll keep everyone posted

Guess this is the official thread now. About time there's a good place for info swapping on these turbos.

I have an HX35 (non W) going onto a 1.8L 20v VW motor in the near future. Still building up the block and fabbing stuff but it should be done by mid summer if all goes well. Using the 12cm^2 housing to start but I'm probably going to track down a 14 for testing.

I got my turbo via SaulG on ebay, awesome seller and he gets them all the time. Hit him up with your needs.

What are you guys using for wastegates that have them up and running. I was going to use a Tial 38, but if any of you guys are having creep problems I would go bigger off the bat. Anyone?

[drumking15]

im running a 38 tial...we'll see how it goes...prob gonna push 15-16 hopefully itll hold

[DragSource]

I'll be running the tial 38 unless drum says he's having extreme creep issues when he gives us our update.

[soon2brb240]

Yup, tial 38mm for me too, with the 11.6psi (.8 bar) spring. I'm sure it'll be ok too. And a huge to this being the official holset thread, agreed, this has been long overdue!

do i need a gasket on the manifold? i can put a paper in a little bit would i have a leak there?

[soon2brb240]

Looks like a nice setup, but I don't see what it has to do with holset stuff But yea, you definitly should run a gasket between the turbo and manifold. I too will be running turboedit, so be sure and let us know how that goes

[wantboost]

well, i was planning on running an hx40, since idid start the first holset thread but my plans have changed again.... id tell you what im running but then id have to kill you

Keep us updated man! Unless you plan on killing me haha, lets keep this holset thread alive!

[wantboost]

lol, if you were local i would think about it... im too lazy to drive to tn.

Im gonna be running a custom garrett turbo, woot woot. not telling you more than that

[soon2brb240]

Haha, are you goin to the birmingham meet? I'll be up and running by then, its the last weekend in June... I'm goin to bed, I have to work tomorrow. Either way, keep us updated man, take it easy!

[drumking15]

use copper flashing for gaskets it works great...and wantboost why dont you run a hx35/40 hybrid your gonna have a hell of a time spoolin that hx40

[LoSt is BlaCk]

after reading all these positive responses i REALLY want one...where can a brotha get his hands on one? who else is running them on b16's and what kind of boost and hp numbers? i'm getting curious, LOL :wink: :wink:

keep this thing alive guys

[drumking15]

i still think the hx35 is a little big for a b16...if i were you id opt to run an hx30...a more fitting turbo...like others have said they like high boost...10-12+psi is where they come alive...

[LoSt is BlaCk]

yet another good piece of information, thanks

i gotta have one, lol, i'm sold

And that is the exact reason that I started this thread, this is very valuable information, and I wanted more people to be able to see this. Who knows, maybe this will become another bandwagon, I hope not, but at least we'll be the ones that started it! My turbo is arriving this monday, and thats the last piece i was waiting on, hopefully I can get my charge pipes fab'd next weekend, and be up and running the weekend after that :fingerscrossed: I took some pix of my friends car and mine tonight, i'll post them in here tomorrow if anybody is interested in seeing what this setup is goin on... Again, lets keep this thread alive!

[DragSource]

I'm most def. getting anxious to be running my 35 w/ 14cm^2 turbine housing. . . considering turning to a credit card to finish it, lol.

You know you've got the itch when you make blow off noises driving down the road in your 86 Cutlass daily driver.

[drumking15]

hahaha i made the bov noises too...even considered adding the speaker shit to my winter beater camry for shits and giggles...but ill tell you the real thing is a lot ****in nicer

[rhd]

is it bad when you make the noise when you're driving your DD WRX that's allready got a Type S on it?

haha

me = ricer

hmm...real info.......not any as of right now. but i'll be running an hy soon, and after that an hx35/40 hybrid.....and J.Davis has a limitless supply of info on these. and if you don't jump the gun now they're going to jump in price soon.

[soon2brb240]

Well, I don't blame you for making the BOV noises either, I'm guilty myself I'm actually thinking about making a twin scroll sidewinder manifold here in a few months and run the hx35 as a genuine twin scroll turbo as it was designed to be! It should be pretty interesting... For now i'm just concentrating on putting my hy35 setup on!

bastard stealing my ideas!!! w/ my a/w setup a nice sidewinder would work beautifully...

but got everything up and running today...uber is still loggin a/f off a little...gets a good reading then 2 off by like .7 a/f....its a little odd...thing rips...full boost 7psi by about 4 grand...still having a lil issues tuning but workin them out day by day... at least now im seeing a/f in uber still workin out 3bar bugs and the lack thereof of low boost resolution...

and btw jdavis = god of holset info...and i dont mean to be harsh or whatever...i just would like to keep this post mostly technical to holsets...and people running them...

[hoggy]

Anybody know where to get a rebuild kit for an hx35?
