Ok found out my turbo is for an Komastu excavator! Bit too random for me.

Might have found HY35 and HX35's new from the US for $415 US + shipping. Awaiting reply with numbers for housing, compressor and turbine wheels. Will post them up.

Also, is the twin scroll the same design as a twin scroll GT3076R?..

just make sure its not a chinese junker..

or, all you'll be buying is a time bomb!

Those are indeed chinese junkers. You won't find a brand new Holset for less than about $1,500 USD. The rest are copies. Just buy a used one (goes for ~$250 from a place in Washington Court House in Ohio, USA; close to me). This ebay seller has a regular supply of them and lists their specs, etc. Then buy a rebuild kit for very little money (~$50 USD) and rebuild it yourself. It's easy to do.

I have since retuned my car and it is now making 326rwkw at 19psi with my HX35.

specs as follows

RB30DET - rb25 NA head rb30e bottom end rebuilt to standard specs.

modified standard manifold with external 40mm gate

HX35 with 10cm^ rear housing

740cc hiflowed standard injectors

Z32 AFM, 3" exhaust, FMIC, splitfire coilpacks

Remapped stock R32 ecu. idles like factory and still returns close to 400km's to a tank!

standard everything else.

full boost at 3400rpm, power keeps climbing to redline.

controllable power delivery with part throttle make it a VERY fast car. or if you give it a quick sharp stab it will fry a set of 255 semis is a straight line. I am looking at modifying a HE351VE and fitting it.

these turbos are MASSIVE. and I mean MASSIVE if you have a look at a T88 you will be getting close to their size. have a look

HERE TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE ALL ABOUT

one of these puppies will spool 1000rpm earlier than most making them similar in response to a stock RB25 turbo and when the housing is fully opened the rear will flow enough to make 400rwkw+. Imagine a turbo that has full boost by 3000rpm and makes 400rwkw!!!

a lot of reading buy well worth it. there are now a few guys that are using these and controlling the rear housing opening and closing with an actuator.

Cheers!

Nice results man! Those are the kind of spool times I was expecting also. If you are interested in the VGT turbo's, might want to check this out -----------> http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread/4639...troller-project

Super interesting stuff. If you can get it working, it would be an amazing turbo. It would blow any other turbo I can think of out of the water.

And bozodos, there is no more custom fab work on one of them than there would be installing any externally gated GT30r, except you'll need a spacer. They do not, however, make low mount internally gated, bolt on holsets for RB's though, and I believe they do make GT30's like that.

No biggy, I just get in debates with the garret name brand nut swingers all the time about "how much harder it is to install one of these 'diesel' turbos" when it's exactly the same if you are comparing apples to apples. Sorry, I'm overly touchy on the subject sometimes :)

cool thread

I am a Holset lover.. I have a older H1C on my KA and a newer bigger H1C going on my RB. I am from Maryland where a large source for these turbos exist. I went to the depot and hand selected my turbo from 1000's

www.goldfarbinc.com is where you can find very good deals on quality used turbos.

as far as custom work.. if you have your own welders and cutting tools like myself.. its nothing... even if you don't.. its not hard to make them work. Once I had all my parts.. I installed the turbo inside of one day.

my holset write-up

WAY more common. HX35's come on every Dodge diesel pick up truck you see driving down the road. People often get them for free from the Dodge guys upgrading to something bigger. That's one of the big draws for Holsets. They are great turbo's, but if I had to pay $1500 for one new, I probably wouldn't be running one right now.

nice write up, I assume that in the US they are a lot more common than here lol

You would think so lol.. but a lot of guys outside of the serious tuning crowd are just catching on to the alternative. I'm actually eying a Borg Warner now.

Here in japan its the same.... NO one that I know outside of my circle touch diesel turbo's.

I paid 125 dollars for my H1C and it was in immaculate shape.

Hey guys,

the last nine pages are an interesting read indeed! Was saving for a 3076R, but now am so tempted to follow this route for $1500 less. My question is, what are the basic specs of the hx35 that we should look out for? I.E.: 7 blade compressor etc.

If I was to source one from golfarb, how would I describe it to them?

Has anyone succesfully low-mounted one of these on a stock manifold, or is it high mount only? What manifolds have people used?

Any info would be appreciated :ph34r:

harts.

I am after the same info -is it possible to low mount an hx35 on the stock manifold in an r33 gtst? looks like it will be a tight fit, want to know if anyone has tried before i have it shipped...

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
