you'll need an hx55 to make any power. if you want to go big time try a ht60 . honda guys are running hx35.

i put one on a saturn ion redline. thing is a little monster. actually ran pretty good. think it made 325hp to the wheels. that was a stock bottom end 2.0 Ecotec I took the supercharger off and put the turbo on. those turbos take a lot of abuse.

Compressor Map Library with some holset stuff

I've looked into it in the past, I think it would be quite good for twins with a 16cm or 18.5cm exhaust housing. My friends honda civic ran one with a 18.5cm housing. Full boost at 4000-4200 rpm on a b16, stock top end. Made a touch over 400whp on 93 octane and north of 600bhp on e85.

Do you have any more details, maybe pictures of this? Sounds like a badass little car.

do not have any pics here. but the car is due back for intercooler install. so will try to snap pics then


as for hx35 it would be ggood for a twin setup but like stated will need to step up to hx55 or 60 to use as a single application on v8

HX-35's come standard on Cummins powered Dodges from 1995-1999, and from 2000-2002 in the stick shift trucks. They're pretty easy to find for 250-300 on any Dodge classified forum. I've personally run one up to 35 PSI in that application withot fail.

Saw pics requested earlier for that saturn but eh, here's my friends honda. Wish I had more pics, it got stolen about a month ago. Ohh well, time to build a new car, stepping up to a S372. Multiple turbine housings were tried on it, 12, 14, 16, 18.5 and a bullseye power 9cm or whatever it is all the DSM guys are using. Worst power was... of course the 9cm bullseye one, only spooled a few hundred rpm more than the 18.5 that wound up replacing it. Dyno sheet is with 18-20 psi (don't remember exactly) 93 octane, stock cams, stock head, stock intake manifold, stock throttle body. Boost got turned up 2 psi (30 whp) from the dyno run and tune retweaked on the street. Had one race loss in its life. A H/C longtubes c6 z06, dude was claiming 640 whp but it didn't quite seem like it had that agressive of a cam.

Just after assembly


18.5cm next to a 9cm bullseye housing


93 octane dyno run

you have to love those ecotecs! got any more info on it?? they are very popular over here but no one like to turbo the ally blocks. everyone just uses the older iron bloks (dont think the US get them)

back to the holsets, they are old in design and not as good as the moderen stoff, but they are cheap and robust! alot of guys in sweeden use them.

Chris.

Default 55 or 60

How long would it take a holset 55 or 60 to spool up?
