HX35 on LS/Vtec ??
Hi guys
Im pretty new to the forum , and ive been slowly running through the pages of this thread.
From what i've been able to determine the HX35 looks like it could support 450 - 500whp on a built LS/VTEC. I just need someone to confirm this for me !!
Im in South Africa and over here no-one has really experimented with using the Holset's on performance applications.
The common turbo's used here are the Turbonetics range and a few GT-K's and Garrett GT series. If I could get Garrett GT series spool and power for half the price with the Holset range it seems like a win-win situation !!!!
So ive been doing some research on them (which lead me to this thread) and looks really promising.
Availability is not a problem as we have a large commercial turbo and turbo spare shop locally - i just need to know exactly which model to order as I cannot simply buy the ones off the Dodge Diesels as they were never sold here. Although the cummins engine is used in a variety of other applications !
The specs of the build are as follows
Ls/Vtec 82mm bore
89mm Stroke
B16A head - slight porting and polishing
Standard B16A cams with Supertech valvetrain & 0.5mm + intake and 1mm oversize exhaust valves
100 octane race gas or 95 octane pump
The aim is 450 - 500 WHP but with maximum response !!!
The motor is going into a Lotus Elise which will be used as a time attack / open track day car as well as a bit of street driving !!!
So im after a turbo combination that will give quick boost response and and a flat torque curve is more important than absolute peak power !!!
All your input will be greatly appreciated with regards to HP capability and expected boost @ x RPM with the various combinations !!!
Thanx from South Africa

Holset's like the HX35 have had VERY good results on hondas, and I still recommend using them. I used them for years before it was ever popular.

That's no bs. He recommended them to me and that's why I have an hy35 hanging off of my gsr right now. Full boost just before 4k rpm, room to go up to 450-475whp (Bludar has tuned an engine with and hy35 to ~475whp), possibly higher.
I would use the hy35 if (like you stated earlier) you want the best response. GL.

If you want, hit us with an email at Sales@TunerToys.com. We'll send you a list of questions about your setup, and then have both Garret and Precision spec a turbo for your setup. They routinely do this for our customers, whom have had nothing but good things to say about the turbos that they have purchased using this method. No cost to you, completely free.
