yepp, I know, can't have boost from idle on tiny motor. But I'm crazy on dragraces so I want a bit more power, need to go 11.5s at least (now 12.8 @ 112). And seeing there are 650+ hp CA's these days in Europe gives me hope it can be done. Sweden guy makes 577whp with GT3582R and spool is quite acceptable So if it is true that HX35 will spool better, than there is a hopeNow I have Evo III turbo from Mitsu, do you know if there are housings that have the same flange so I could bolt it to my manifold? Also where should I look for some HX35(if it will do 550hp)?

I am really surprised about CA's doing that, but awesome! A HX35 would certainly spool better than a GT3582r (by a lot), but it won't make as much power. I can tell you a 7 blade HX35 would spool by 3.5k rpm or less on an RB25 and make at least 450rwhp if you turned the boost up a good amount. The DSM guys are running low 11's at 132mph on the 7 blade, but they are AWD.Funny you mention the DSM bolt on housing, but I'm a little confused which flange is where. You need the ex housing to bolt up to a mitsu flange on the ex manifold? If so, they do indeed make a very popular housing that comes in .55 a/r and .70 a/r for the holset that bolts up to a stock mitsu manifold. You'd still need a custom downpipe made though.

I was surprised too, and decided if others can do it, I can aim for 500hp at least Here's his thread, take a look. I like such builds when bags of money are not dumped into the engine but it performs - 577whp@2.35bar http://sxoc.co.uk/vbb/showthread.php?t=375692 Hmm, 134mph was achieved with GT30R by this same guy... You say DSMers get only 132 from HX35... Not very impressive then?Here is my turbo, MHI Evo3 16G http://www.roadraceengineering.com/eclturbos.htm No problem to make a downpipe at all...

If he trapps 134 with a GT30r, he must weigh less than 2500lb's! The DSM guys that ran 132 were at full weight (3100). They run slower times with GT30r's. Also keep in mind, an HX35 will probably outspool a GT30r, but the main thing that I'm saying here is that they are the best performing turbo out there--it's just that they are so damn cheap AND they are awesom performers.

The s13 will trap higher anyways, due to the weight advantage, and the fact that they are 2wd. A trap speed is not a very good measure of power when comparing two completely different chassis.Cj, its nice to hear you're so confident in the holset turbo's performance, as I have one in the mail currently. I also have an rb20 and somewhat high power goals in mind. High power and quick spool are never easily accomplished on the Rb20.
Fast car huh?......You've never heard of my s13? Its the 240 that made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsec's...

Me? I'm looking for a modest 350 whp on my first tune. I think thats quite a bit for the rb20, and for an s13. However, I'd be shooting for more if I had larger injectors. I have 440cc injectors currently, and I think the highest safe hp level will be around 350. I'd imagine I'll need to run around 15 psi to achieve this, but I'm really not sure. How much boost are you going to run, Matt?

To be honest I've never even heard of a KA20, but I'd guess HX35. What are your hp goals? HY35 might be better. They do make smaller holset's, but I don't know anything about them.Here's a couple of vid of my old HX35/40 hybrid if anybody cares to see.

This swedish guy's had a lot of high Hp CA vids on youtube for a while now, but just recently achieved his 577rwhp tune. I found the video to be pretty much awesome... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFw5eb0Czdc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...lated I believe its norris designs who has the 650ish hp CA18 in europe.

And btw DriftingisLame, Im looking for 400whp out of my 20, with some cams and a carl h tune. 650+ injectors, maybe some head work, z32 maf, holset hx35, 3.5 or 4 inch downpipe and the 6boost manifold. Will probably be running an rb26 intake with the itb's as well. Not sure how much boost i will run right away.Also does anybody have any pictures of the Bullseye performance housing and how big is the vband on it if i get it non wastegated. And i have the 8 blade hx35. Still good for 400whp????

bep simply means bullsyeye performance. Look on tims turbos and you'll see what he means. Bolt on is simply a reference to those. Can anybody answer my question about the 8 blade hx35 and 400whp???

The 8 blade should be good for 400rwhp, but I wouldn't think a WHOLE lot more than that at reasonable boost levels. I think the biggest limiting factor with the RB20 isn't the displacement, it's the head, so your head work and cams sound like a good idea to me. The "bolt on" or "BEP" housings have a mitsubishi flange and will not work on a nissan. I believe all the HX35's come with a T3 flange which is what you have stock, but you might need to put a spacer on it if you want to run the stock mani. I did, however, bolt an HX40 up to a stock manifold that was sitting on the floor just to see if the compressor housing would clear, and it did. That was an HX40 though.Those vids are damn impressive. Did you see how bad that thing was compressor surging BTW? That is compressor surge, not that noise people whine about when they let off the gas from boost.

well thats rather disappointing. Im not sure i will be getting head work but i am getting cams for sure. I guess the 8 blade will spool faster. I will eventually make an hx35/hx40 and bolt it on my rb25 later on. So you do think the hx35 8blade is good for 400whp though?

I'm confused Cj, after reading this.... "The 8blade hx35 has a 56mm compressor inducer. This is found on 1995-1998 cummins manual pickups. The compressor flows 52 lb/min according to the compressor map. The bolton BEP housing (0.55 a/r) is enough to push the limit of the compressor. There's several 500whp 8blade hx35 cars out there with the bolt on housing. It reaches 20+psi by 3500rpms in 3rd with 272 cams. Smaller cams would equal a faster spool speed in most cases." What makes the rb20 not capable of achieving the same power levels? Are you saying that it wont make this power without running obscene amounts of boost, or are you saying the head is that much more restrictive than a 4g63 head? Keep in mind we are running the stock divided 12cm2 housing instead of the smaller BEP bolt on housing, this should give us a power advantage at the cost of a few hundred rpm of spool. There's a couple of 500 whp RB20's in the SAU dyno thread that have stock heads, cams, and bottom end parts. Granted, this is at 23-27 psi boost. If you'd like me to link you I will. I'm not dissagreeing, I just want to know what you know lol. Thanks

From what I have seen here on Oki (and that's pretty limited experience with RB20's) RB20's take a bit more boost to make big power numbers with the same turbo. Also, of course, they are going to be lagier compared to a RB25 with the same turbo. I raced a similar R32 as me with the same To4e as I had, but he had an RB20, and I had an RB25. I was running 1.3 bar, and he was running 1.5, and I pulled him up top, all lag asside. That's pretty much my only experience, so take it for what's it's worth. Also, for "I read it on the internet" information, I've heard on the SAU thread that they thought the head was the limiting factor. My GUESS would be the RB20 head is more restrictive than the 4G63 head. Very true what you said about the stock holset housing helping up top though. The spool difference would be negated if you are running a devided runner manifold also, since that bolt on BEP housing they use is single scroll. Matt- 52lb/min would be AROUND 520hp at the motor max, but at who know's what boost. 12% drivetrain loss would around 60hp, so call it high-mid 400's? Than knock 20-30 off for not running 2.2 bar and I'd guess low-mid 400's at the wheels on the 8 blade. That's a whole lot of bench racing though. I have a HX35 compressor housing and wheel sitting around somewhere. For sure 400rwhp though. Let me count the blades on it and I'll get back to you to see if you'd want it.

Just some more info for fodder. I went out tonight on the way home from work and got some spool times.3rd gear - .5 bar by 3.5k rpm - 1.0 bar by 4.2k rpm 4th gear - .5 bar by 3.2k rpm - 1.0 bar by 3.9 rpm That's with the 19cm housing, RB26 ITB's and surge tank (short runners), 1.2mm headgasket (lowers the CR a bit), HKS 264 cams, and no VCT.

Wouldnt that make you're brand new twin scroll 6 boost manifold a waste of money matt?The DSM guys get those housings out of convenience I think. Sticking with the stock 12cm2 twin scroll will be more efficient, and if you need a larger one, well I believe you can get a 16cm2 housing for your HX35, and still retain the twin scroll

Are you sure on that number? The highest hp compressor map I have ever seen for a HX40 is 69lb/min and that was a 6 blade wheel.

That's what i thought as well but I spoke to a tim at http://www.theturbotrader.com/...d=209 and he said with their hx40 bolt on hot side it ups the flow to 72lbs but i did not ask to see a flow map . When I accually get it together I will see what kind of real flow numbers it will acheive.

So, the "hot side" will flow 72lb/min--meaning the ex end of the turbo? If that's the case, you'd still need a compressor to push that much power. 30hp ain't going to make a whole lot of difference anyways when your talking 600+hp. I'm sure you'll be happy with it

I'm kind intrigued by these holset turbos now as well...I found a HX35W local with a 12cm^2 housing for a good price...but how can you tell if its a 7 or 8 blade wheel? Just count what you can see thru the compressor inlet? Also, does anyone know where there is some more info on the 35/40 hybrid? I think I could pull 500whp out of one of these turbos on 22lbs or so?

Yeah, just count the blades you can see in the front of the compressor inlet.I was running a HX35/40 hybrid with the smaller 8 blade HX40 compressor wheel before. I think I was close to 500rwhp, but maybe a bit short. I only had a 38mm wastegate though and I think my ex manifold pressure was so high I was pushing the turbo into choke hurting my power. Also, as I mentioned, it was the smaller compressor wheel. No dyno on the island here, but I was ticking off 122mph trap speeds in a 3100lb car + driver with a **** ton of wheel spin. You could always get the HX35 now, then do the hybrid later after you start wanting more power (don't we always )

Check out ATPTurbo They have the Ultimate Internal Wastegate Plus I think they have Vband adapters alsoHolsets are Internally gated stock right. I ported out the T3 hole when i used mine. But Due to the ATP WG flapper I could only do about 28mm. I wanted to leave a little room around the port so the flapper could seal.

yea, i'm hunting for 125+ traps...but not that much more...My car weighed 3100 w/ me in it, so that is a good basis for me as well. Was that with the stock ex. mani? Sounds like I need to do some investigating into this hybrid and maybe put it to work :D

I heard that there was something that would bolt on but i never found it. I figured i could just cut out like a 3.5 inch hole and weld a v band to that but i wasnt sure.

good info in this thread guys! im pretty much sold on going holset for my next turbo setup (whenever that may be). what kind of supporting mods would i need to be in the 480-520whp range? are cam upgrades necessary? and Cjmartz2k how did you like that T04e on your rb25? thats actually what i have right now waiting to get installed. im going to be getting some 650cc injectors to go with it. my goal was to be at around 380whp. am i hoping for too much?
