A lot of DSM owners really love these turbochargers and have made an entire sub-industry from them.

Shodan I'm assuming your talking about the 8 blade being similar a 50 trim in terms of flow. If so what about the 7 blade similar to?

8 & 7 blade had the same characteristics really. One was the HY35 the other was the HX35 series. It was really splitting hairs by that point.

Again, not really, in the overall performance of either compressor wheel. Depends upon the exducer used as there are several sized for both the 7 single bladed and the 8 single bladed. 1 or 2 lbs/min in my experience. Nothing really to write home about or get into a huge debate with..

Thanks. I am using a 8 blade hx35w on setup. We have a 7 blade billet wheel hx35 we are using on a test engine at work. When testing is done I could hopefully use it. It sounds like it might not be worth it...Now you see why I'm asking?

the 7blade is probably a 56mm while the 8 blade is a 52mm. Technically from the unoffical and unspecific graphs I have seen, you should get 8lb/m more flow potential out of the 7 blade.

I made way more power than I should have made on my HX35 7blade, I can say that for sure.

I looked on Ebay and only found a few, most needed a rebuild.

For the record, 99/100 of the turbos on ebay that "need a rebuild" are perfectly fine turbos, they are just sold by vendors under that pretense to avoid issues of waranty or whatnot. Most of them have no way to test them either.

Is there any reputable re-builders of holset turbos using genuine parts? Im interested in looking into this, versus buying another one and going back for a re-tune if the re-build price exceeds 4-500 bucks.

H1c you can get for cheap. I picked up a "core" h1c (with a ridiculous 18cm housing) and ran it on a different build (not honda) and made 253whp @only 10psi on a 2.0L on 91. I was sitting right around 310-315 on e85 @ 13-14psi. My wife is putting an he351 on her d-series build and we're hoping for decent numbers

I have ran a bunch of those style turbos on b series and d series.

the D series had a ramhorn (he341) and 2.5" intercooler pipeing it made 20psi by 5000rpm and made close to 415whp. Simple build. Ran real good (low 11's) in a hatch

upgraded the IC pipe to 3" it made the turbo spool 300-550rpm later.

so i just noticed something that i completely over looked... i have 1.5in between my exhaust housing and my radiator. i have a gut feeling i need to relocate my radiator. ive seen quite a few people that have moved there's over a few inches and angled it against the passenger fender. is there any issues that go along with this relocation?

someone help me identify this, it has no tag type deal on it...



one set of numbers on the compressor housing read ae0600, can't really make out the other ones and one set of number on the exhaust housing read 3592470

its not a twin scroll flange, but it is t3 flanged if that helps at all

if its not twin scroll its prolly an hy35, the 9cm housing version

IMO these are the best for d series because of their quicker spool
