ok i have a few questions, can i boost my stock ls civic with a diesel turbo? if so when would i have boost? or is this even do-able?

SQ is the SQUAD

google civic hoslet.

it can be done. spool time depends on what turbo you have and what bods.

hoslets are a common diesel engine turbo off og the cumming/dodge pick up trucks.

Yes it can be done, lots of people have done it. That's the only turbo I use due to price and results. They are tough turbos. You can get a hx35 and BEP hot side to get better spool time. I love my holset turbo. If your only going to boost low 8-12psi get a turbo that better suited for your engine. Holset are capable of over 30 plus psi.

well good deal ill be doing this more then likely lol ill let you guys know my results! thanks BTW

ok i got the turbo but...i have one issue. my old turbo manifold is to small for the turbo. like where they bolt together or the flange i should say is small on the turbo how can i fix this? cut and weld?

SQ is the SQUAD

you can cut and weld, there soo many manifold optionss out there that i am sure you can get the correct manifold for cheap.

what motor you running?

what turbo do oyu have?

its a stock b18b1
holset turbo not sure anything else about it but i do know its a monster ill send pics shortly.

Mr. EG

I was planning on doing a HX35 on a stock GsR. Would have been a tad overkill, but Holset products are commonly used and well priced.

ls holset large comp h1c 12cm2 exhaust housing 20psi between 4-4500rpm. 338hp 293trq. hx35 on a gsr is a rocket for the people that don't know.

EGcivic_95

lol this one looks tiny compared to mine so i dont think mine is a realistic turbo for my car...

EGcivic_95

this is my MONSTER!

exhaust housing doesn't look to big there is a # stamped on the inside of the ex inlet what is it? There should be a tag on the comp housing of what it is. Is it t3 or t4 flange? got any pics straight at the comp housing? from the looks of it looks like a hy35 which is smaller and comes with a 9cm2 housing.

funhouse75

Try sticking with the common used holsets like h1c, hx35, hx40, h1e. Not all holset will have t3 flange. When sourcing a holset make sure it has a t3 /t4 housing. Makes install more pnp.
What does it say on the plate for that turbo. Should have an id number.

EGcivic_95

from research its a t6 flange and here is the numbers: from the tag i see this one its the TYPE one its BHT3C

93ls10.0

so does it have the 23cm ex housing? from a quick search ex houing is way to big and there isn't much interchangablitiy with other models.

EGcivic_95

what do you mean? im not familiar with holset does or will it have thison the ex housing?

93ls10.0

inside the ex inlet runner there should be a # stamped in the casting. Might he covered with build up.

EGcivic_95

ok i seen a "20" stamped in there?

93ls10.0

ya little bit big mine came with a 18 originaly I wouldn't see boost till around 5k

EGcivic_95

lol yeah its pretty big it dont even look like it will fit under my hood, what are the most common holset turbos to get? and what are they off of?

93ls10.0

hy35 hx35/40 h1c 90's dodge trucks. I'm gonna try a hx55 on my next setup with a aftermarket ex housing. I would look into seein is anyone makes a smaller ex housing for it.

EGcivic_95

ok sounds good ill keep my eyes open for one thanks man.

funhouse75

Bulls eye power makes smaller housing for the hx35 and 40 and I think also for h1c. I have
have one of their housing.
