*3" magnaflow exhaust
*vaccum manifold
*fswerks intercooler
*60lbs siemens inyectors
*synapse bov
*intercooler pipping from ebay 2.5" hotside, 3" cold side
*diablo sport mafia
*turbo smart ultragate 38 wastegate
*ebay cast turbo manifold for a mazda3
*holset hx35 turbo
*exedy stage2 clutch with lightweight flywheel
*oil sandwich plate for oil feed line
*3" custom down pipe (cut and tack by me welded by a muffler shop)
*aem wideband
*jdm (ebay) boost gauge
*custom t25 to t3 turbo adapter

I have the 7 blade hx35 and I saw a 12cm exhaust housing but I read that housing is the one that come with the 7 blade but I don't really know for sure
 
#158 ·
Look for info on the dsm forums I I read that the 12cm is for better spooling times and depends in the turbo manifold so It can be restrictive or not

The 7blade hx35 has a 54mm compressor inducer. This is found on the 1999-2002 cummins manual pickups. The compressor flows 60lb/min according to the compressor map and logged results from a member here. The bolton BEP housing with the hx35 turbine wheel do not SEEM to have enough flow to really reach the potential of 60lb/min. But many have logged over 50lb/min so far and seen 500whp. The stock hx35 12cm^2 twinscroll turbine housing is a t3 flange housing. This mated to a NON-divided runner manifold has produced a 132mph trap speed with a full weight 1g AWD. This is about 600whp. So the flow is there with the stock housing if you use a non-divided manifold. The spool speed of the 7blade hx35 is similar to the 8blade hx35 with 20+ psi by 3500rpms in the bolton housing and by 4000rpms with the stock housing with a non-divided manifold.

That's the same one I was reading. I thought the stock housing was bigger than that. So are you running the 12? I keep seeing the 18 every where but could be wrong. If I get it I plan on swapping the housing out anyway. I'm torn on which turbo to get. I'd like to see how it does on the fs t3 manifold I got.
 
#162 ·
I think the 8 blade and the hc1 that is practically the hx35 have 16 or 18 cm housings. I want to see the clearance with ur manifold with the alternator and the firewall

Lol at some point I've always want to build a n/a car but here in ep the altitude suck so I should need to use some sort of f/I or I just could run 14s but I don't want to run 14s lol I think after all the build im happy, just waiting to go to the track and piss of some v8 owners lol
 
#167 ·
Lol yeah and of course is the cheapest way to get hp :)
 
#169 ·

Damn, now you like me. I hope to have the silver car apart in the next 3 months. In 6 months the blue car should be here from Germany and I will finally have a track rat again.
 
#171 ·
