It's cast aluminum. The wheels have nothing to do with it. The vgt system is what makes it spool so fast.

Although holsets turbine wheels are very fluidly dynamic. If that made sense lll

 

yeah i know the vgt makes it spool very quick. holsets spool faster than other turbos there size. I wish i could run the vgt it was just to big for my f2b setup and i can spool a hx35/hx40 fast any way. I use a 18cm housing on my f22 and could have full boost by 5000 rpms.

 

Well, the 7 bladed wheels weigh less, but holsets turbine wheel is scarily efficient, more so than garretts matching counterpart, and their bearing systems are much stronger.

I'm still doing research, mockup and what not. Hopefully my retarded idea will work

 

i been doing alot of machining on holset here lately, the shaft size at the bearings are 11mm vs garrett 8mm

 

Yup, bigger bearings = more support.

If holset ever released a BB CHRA I think the results would be impressive, almost BW EFR impressive, minus the compressor wheels and housings lol

 

whats a good price for a used hx35w

 

i got mine for around 200ish IRIC

 

I kind of think the prices are up a bit on them from those good old prices they were going for before they got popular like this...

 

yea prices are definately up. i remembered when you could pick them up for like 75 to 100

 

hey could someone do me a huge favor and measure the compressor outlet to see what size of vband that i will need?

mine is stuck in my storage shed and its way to cold here in the midwest to play around outside haha

 

2.5 is what it should be

 

Muahaha my HX40 helped my motor clean the garage. hard working i swear!

 

hahahai bet u it did a great job... hey guys i had a simple question, its been covered yet i just wanna make sure.. some people were using the jegs Fitting, Adapter, AN Flare to Metric, -4 AN to 12mm x 1.5 Male... i wanted to order this but i wanna know if u guys used a restrictor when using this, because i found another one just like the jegs one but it comes with a 1.5mm oil restrictor... what would u guys recommend me getting.. all help will be appreciate it.. i will be running an 7 blade hx35w on an ls..

 

Holsets dont need a restrictor.

 

thank u very much... i guess jegs it is..

 

does anyone have ne videos of there holset powered hondas? im getting anxious and i think hearing one would calm me down a little

 

Um. It sounds like any other turbo car....

 

Many DSM's have had issues with too much oil pressure on Holsets

Make sure you dont go over 75 psi max oil pressure (as per the Holset service manual instructions)

 

every single turbo car sounds the same? wow didnt know that.

dsm's run higher oil pressure then hondas do. since most/if not all hondas factory oil pumps have a relief set at 80 psi IIRC i would imagine it will be ok.

 

Turbo hondas pretty much all sound the same.

 

Im going to run a 0.0625 (also a .065) restrictor on my HX40. trust me ive been studying a lot of peoples mistakes and they all lead to issues because of not running restrictors... The GT turbos run a .030" restrictor and the all journal turbos run .065" ON -4AN lines.

 

Garrett and Holset need different requirements

 

just food for thought. But everyone has different opinions. if you wanna run a turbo with no restrictor then thats fine by me. Im doing it because everyone has different experiences and I know many people with different turbos not all the same but all are in honda's and acura's a friend of mine blew a brand new turbonetics t3/t4 journal with out a restrictor. also blew a t70 t3 no restrictor and also blew a garret t3/t4 no restrictor. other hx35 which is a decently big turbo got blown by many guys on here on honda tech. asking around. ask your tuners. ask people that blew **** up lol. also the line was always an issue when its a -4AN.

 

A 4an feedline is too big for a journal bearing turbo anyways. You should be fine with a holset and a 3an line with no restrictor

 

like I was saying. But you said holsets Don't need restrictors but what you left out was that it was for a -3AN line and I think you should say things the way they should of been intended because what you are saying isn't the whole picture. You never mentioned a -3AN line. Now imagine if the guy used a -4AN which is very very common to get and it ends blowing the seals on his turbo, that guy is gonna come back on here an say your an *** hole. You see what I am trying to say? Give detailed Info. We are all on here to help eachother not to *** eachother over.
