New turbo is on its way

[kzoosho]

SO winter is here and some of us are redoing our cars. Me personally 340whp was not enough. I have taken all of my old turbo pipes out and i am starting from scratch. What i am planning on doing is a header setup similar to a det. For a turbo i have chosen a Holset HX 52 . Some may think its large but for what i am trying to do its perfect. Along with the new turbo and feed setup it is getting a 4 point cage . I plan to get pics along the way. Wish me good luck.

good luck

all i got is questions. so you're putting a new turbo on before doing the 3.5 swap? how much hp are you planning on making at what rpm? are you going to upgrade the internals to handle more power?how much do you want for your current setup?

and yeah, good luck

[kzoosho]

The turbo is for sale and so are the feedpipes. I would let it all go for 1000 plus shipping and that would be enough to get you boosted but you WILL need something to tune along with larger injectors and fuel pump. The turbo is not small by no means. But it is for sale.

[allensteiner]

that's a good price. little too much for me right now though so are you not going with the 3.5 swap?

good luck bro.

[kzoosho]

Thanks. Im trying to beat these damn LS swapped cars out there lol.

How deep into the engine do you need to get to do the turbo swap? I guess just to me it would make the most sense to do the 3.5 and 6 speed swap before going to all the trouble of pulling out and installing the new turbo. haha But what makes sense to me doesnt really matter because I have never done a turbo setup. Good luck! im looking forward to seeing the 3.5 turbo time slips! what are you aiming for anyway? high 10's?

[Presscott707]

you think you will be up there with jime? it should be a nice battle with you two after your new setup.

he's doing a 3.5 with 6spd swap plus the new blower and spray.

i think he'll do better than jime as long as he can put that power to the ground.

[allensteiner]

HUGE! is it gonna fit under the hood?

[DevonD]

yeah looks pretty beefy. arent you worried about lag? because that thing looks huge! about as big as the 3.0L engine. haha

[kzoosho]

Thats what they made spray for. To get rid of the lag lol.

[DevonD]

haha I love it! your car is going to be a monster.

[kzoosho]

Thats the plan my friend.

[D-Maxima]

That is MASSIVE!

Good luck with it!

[AcMav]

Why Spray over Sequential Turbos? Keep the small one you have now and the big one :P Then you get even more boost without the lag

[kzoosho]

too much plumbing and too much work. I can make more power with a big turbo and spray than i could with sequentials.

[flyboy367]

wanna sell the supercharger?

[kzoosho]

I sold the blower a while ago sir.
