Ok Im going with a mild build on my B18C1, low comp pistons and forged rods. Looking to boost maybe 15lbs. What model holset turbo should I be looking for? Were are you fellas finding these turbos? Thanks in advance

 

Please don't use a PSI measurement. Please use a HP goal. 90% of the ones used are either the HX35 or HX40 for best fitment and use. The HX40 is more for the higher topend street/strip people over 500whp, while the HX35 is a more subtle version that is good for a bit over 400whp or so. The compressor housings are a bit large, so be careful. The best source in the country right now for Holset is Nick at The Turbo Trader. He has the right applications for hondas. Google "the turbo trader" and CALL him, as opposed to e-mail or PM. He is best to contact by PHONE.

 

also, we ran a holset Hy35 on a LS, made 392whp on 17psi i believe, hy35 or hx35, i think you'd be happy

 

Oh yeah, the Hy35 could do that as well, depending upon turbine housing availability

 

go with the hx35...

hy has the 9cm housing.. quicker spool... some guys even run it on their 1.6's... although, the quick spool with a gsr's top end might make for a ton of fun check the maps, but I think you'd still have lots of air at the top... if in doubt, go for the hx35 (or even h1c... bigger housing again..)

 

ya we just strapped a HY on my D16Y7. have dyno numbers tomorrow

 

Thanks for all the replies. Hp wise im looking for mid 300hp

 

you might be aiming too low

 

hmm. could have done that with the stock engine. The hx35 would be the best option

 

ok Im going to be looking for an HX35 then. Are you guys welding the internal wastegate shut?

 

seems to be how most guys are doing it..

 

Im currently using a 16 cm housing on my B16a, am I going to have issues?

 

its going to be not the best responsive turbo. Other than that, keep it going and enjoy.

 

use the turbo from your ram and upgrade the turbo on the ram


have you thought about doing that?

 

haha if mine was only diesel I might try that lol

 

HX35 is rated way higher than 400hp.. If I recall correctly the HX35 is good until 600whp.
It lags a lot compared to a T3/T04E I used previously, but the 5k rpm and beyond trump the T04E. On my budget B16A build it spools around 4800 to 5000 and hits full boost shortly after. It actually hooks up a lot better too because of the lag. T04E used to spool around 3500 and spun until rev limit.

Hy35 is the best for sub-400whp daily driver.

 

I wanna see some pics of these turbos on our hondas

 

there's a Holset thread in this forum!
here's mine:


ignore the mess.. still working on it




I have $260 invested in the topmount manifold and $170 on the baller turbo..

 

hx60

 

Were did you find that turbo so cheap?

 

got it from a friend, brand new still in the cummins box. i think he said it wasn't "accounted" for at a dodge dealership repair so he got it for nothing.

 

Any other pics of that manifold?

 

what model holset is that?

 

I have the hy35 on my gsr makin 325whp @ 11psi. If you want more than 450whp you wanna go with the hx35. If not the hy35 is perfect. Full boost by ~3800rpm. The only real pain is the massive cold side and the 4" dp. Other than that these damn things are made very sturdy. Its a damn tank..........

 

I would suggest the hx40 and you can see the comparison to a gt30r http://turbobyholset.com/forum/hx40/...6r-dyno-sheet/
