hx35?

[jey_253]

I was wondering if anyone has tried to use the holset hx35 that several nissan and honda guys are swapping in. I have one from my 300zx build and tryin to decide how the ca would like the boost

any compressor maps?

Anything using the word "Holset" makes me believe its too big.

[float_6969]

LOL, I think they make more than diesel turbo's.

It says its designed for 6 cylinder engines of 5.0 to 6.5 liter capacity

NOT a 1.8 liter 4 cylinder

What was that? Who said it was too big right from the get go? Hmmm, what was his name...

[ilovecoupes]

ya, Im agreeing with you

[jey_253]

i looked a little deeper and they are running the hy35 which is still a diesel turbo and honda guys are running it with awesome results

"LakeS13" of sxoc ran a H1E a few years back, 396hp on stock ca18.

Holsets come in so many flavours, I'd stick to the same size I've seen run on a 1.8L dohc motor if expecting similar results - play it safe.

I don't even look at compressor maps as real world results are my guiding star. Example;First guy I seen bolted a HX35 from a 5.9L Cummings onto his 2.3L sohc ford, 1984 stock bopttom end.Daily driven dyno'd 420+whp with excellent tq & response, 10.8s ET!I doubt a compressor map would have told him all that

[r34 gtr]

Perhaps it would have?!?!??? A compressor map might as well be written in greek, they are just too much for my tiny undeveloped brain to handle.

[jey_253]

i've actually studied the compressor maps on the hx35 and it has a wider efficiency band than some high end turbos. im thinking i may try it and plan to build the bottom end or at least get forged pistons and other supporting mods

[r34 gtr]

By all means man, fire away. Best of luck getting that thing screaming.

[jey_253]

Alright. I get home in about three weeks and these are the parts that will be waiting for me. Im going to stick with the stock bottom end to see how it holds and and save for a nice rebuild. I'll be using the AEM EMS with the UEGO sensor, 1000cc Precision injectors, the HX35W with custom downpipe and charge pipe, Nismo fuel pressure regulator, and a 300zxTT Fuel pump. Things i hve ?'s on are will i need drop resistors since i have the aem, and what are my choices if i want to switch to a MAP sensor in place of the MAF

How did it go with HX35?
