so after reading through the holset powered evo 7 thread i was very interested in the holset turbos so i did a bunch of research and with the help of revmoto and colonelfox i decided i would try it out... so rev helped me find the holset hx35w on ebay and the seller was local to me so i picked it up then bought a t3 manifold on here for 250 and got to work... all together with new oil feed and return lines and the slim fan a misc parts im into it for about 1000 bucks and it should make over 500 on e85 with a spool about that of a red





then positioned it in the car and saw what i had to fab up which was the o2 housing... very tight squeeze betweent he turbo outlet and the ac compressor



so i started to tackle the hard part first which was going to be the o2 housing... so i got some assorted bends and went to work cutting and welding heres the steps till finished housing
not finished




tight fit sor sure!

bolted up to the downpipe that i had to cut and shorten


as you can see i had to get a slim fan so i made a new bracket to hold the fan and the speed controller box...




this turbo is only oil cooled/lubricated so i had to resirc the water lines


i wasnt able to get a pic of the lower pil retun line now but i went to murreys and they hooked me up with all the AN fittings i need to make a 10an retun line to fit to the factory drain plug... the upper oil supply line was an easy get at murrey also

i have plenty more photos that i will be uppdating soon just have to upload them... the build is complete and the car is running great even though it is untned right now, i also had to make a new licp which i will post pics of later

here is an almost finished pic to end for now

 

Interesting, ive never heard of these turbos before. Is this similar to a GT 35?

 

its the turbos off the cummings diseils if i am correct... and no its actually smaller then a 35r it actually flows a little less then a red but for the price you cant beat it

 

DO you know the exact flow rating?

 

cant find where i saw it at but is 50 something still trying to find it

 

that turbo is slightly larger than a gt3076r. and yes they spool up amazingly fast - but not as fast as a red.

 

thank you for chiming in!

 

The later model 7 blade compressor HX35 since 1999 flow 60lb/min.

There's a PDF on it at post #8.

You should heat wrap that downpipe and put heat shielding on the a/c comp like the guy in the other holset turbo thread floating around. That's too close for comfort. That's a hot pipe I can't imagine it being any good for the A/c.

 

So cool seeing Evo guys starting to become like dsmers and actually making **** for themselves rather than just buying a bunch of parts from a name brand place. GOOD FOR YOU!

 

i do everything myself on this car and make whatever i can, im a budget builder so it def helps doing things myslef haha

 

thanks for the info but this one is a little smaller then the 7 blade... i have the 8 blade so i get some better spool but less power up top

and i have heat wraped the o2 housing dump tube and sheilded the ac like the guy in the other thread just havent gotten a chance to post thos epics yet

 

The 8 blade is 56mm, which is slightly smaller than an HTA green.

 

dude, seriously keep the pics coming, this is awesome. and i would be interested in reading the original thread where you heard about this. a link would be great.

 

what method (there are several) are you planning on using to keep the internal gate door closed? ive been reading and i like the idea of a screw pushing up against the dood to keep it closed

 

the original thread is holset powered evo 7 and i just welded the flapper shut and ran an external wastegate... the build wasnt difficult at all i love it and it turned out very nice from my opinion!
