lets hope the guy remembered to untie the dog before backing out of his driveway.....

 

lol

 

I've always loved the mag. blue.

 

The orange is certainly eye catching, but it would certainly be too much for me.

 

i am entertaining the thought of going with a new turbo setup over winter.

could i get some opinions from you fine gentlemen (and lady)

hta86

or

s366

Im also considering a holset, but i've been told they usually require some fab work.

 

TE37's are tight, go blue!

who knows where the hell can i get a flywheel resurfaced?!? any places local?

 

according to your sig you have a 35r? why not do the upgrade for like 500$

silly to go S366 at that point

 

that's the route i initially planned on going. however, i spoke with aniel at fp about upgrading my 35r to an hta variant and it seems as though the existing turbo has to be up to a certain level of specification for them to consider the upgrade.

so... that may be a possibility, but my 35 has some miles and some shaft play on it and they dont offer rebuilds on turbos that they didnt sell you. so the center cartridge would remain the same, it would just have a burly *** compressor wheel and a different cover

i may send my 35series out to fp this winter to have it looked at, but im not very optimistic.

something tells me im gonna have to dish out the $ for a new snail and all the honda guys are goin ape **** for the borg s series, figured id look at something different for the evo platform

 

You had mentioned a Holset earlier. IIRC, those were all the rave back in the day with older DSM guys. You dont hear much of them anymore though.

 

^^ ya a good buddy of mine has a 1g he's building and swears by the hx40. apparently you can find them super cheap, but you most likely have to be good with a torch or know someone who can weld to use it

 

my friend bought a saturn ion redline with a holset turbo, its laggy as ****kkk and only making 280whp it looks like its a 30r or big enough to be a 35r

 

Because your friend bought a pile of custom junk. I know the car he bought, and i knew the guy that owned it prior. Good Luck to your friend. He will need a whole lot of it. And hopefully he doesnt get into a front end collision. Part of the front support on the front passenger side was cut to make room for that turbo.

 

holset look absolutely monstrous because their diesel turbos for trucks. im not really sold on the hx turbo, i just know their cheap and dsm'ers run em.

im pretty sure ill stick with the borg or garrett

 

 

Does anyone in the pittsburgh area want to give me a ride in their evo X model ASAP! I'm so hard on the fence right now and have only driven 8s & 9s besides my 8. Want to drop some big money on a 2010 but dealer will absoutely not let me drive it plus id like to ride shotgun in some ones X thats got simple boltons or 330-400whp. If im able to ride in one for more than 30 seconds ill probally take the financial plunge of owning an evo...again.
I'd drive to meet some one to take me for a short spin.
Willing to compensate in whatever way I can!! email me ericmorseracing@hotmail.com or post back please!
Want to get in this black gsr before I loose my window to buy.
