thanks for sharing :-) lol at going thru the red light

lol I know, I was hesitant to post it but it was an honest mistake.

Anyway, I hit boost cut today. I forget what my boost cut is set to, but I saw at least 24psi on my gauge. Its cuz I was squeezing on the throttle up to about 5k and 17psi (50% throttle) and then I let 'er rip and it just spiked like crazy. Too fast for my PID settings to respond properly. I thought I blew something up, but of course it was just boost cut. It always scares me! It felt damn good. I had my face on.

Hey Marc...look what I made

Awesome!

Making the moneys onliiiine...

yeah, I even have to hustle in fake money!

Just bought myself some motivation.

HX52 with 67mm billet comp wheel on the way. Will post pics when I get it

SWEEEEET!

I enjoy your new sig pic. Why no filter on the inlet?

Off topic...how the hell do you get the sig pic to work? lol.

Yeah, I couldn't figure it out either until Ed told me...you have to go to your signature options and uncheck the bbc code option.

Chris, it was just that way until I got a filter for it. That pic was right after we fabbed it all up. Glad you like it

Just for size comparo, HX52, HX40pro, and then HX35 in this pic

That thing is huge. Nice sig pic.

VERY NICE!!! I dont know if you already said this elsewhere, but how much did you get that thing for? Did you get it from Goldfarb?

i'm starting to have 20V envy :-D

lol at least you have a holset on that Dodge peter

Yes its another Goldfarb. They're going to pick the best one out for me on Monday and then ship it. I feel so bad saying this but...$150. Sorry to anyone who has ever bought a garrett! If I need to rebuild it (which I doubt) they can supply a rebuild kit for $85. I can also probably get the 5"vband for the turbo from them for less than $10. Yeah son! This turbo flows 88-90lb/min and should be everything a gt42r or S372 is according to those who have used them.

Are you goint to run a screen on the trubo or try to fit a filter, your boost pipe is looking mighty close the the inlet?

Welp. I have now found a great place to get my new turbo.
good lawd talk about awesome. its almost cheaper to buy a holset than a replacement k26/24
but then you have that whole needing EFI issue...

can't wait until I can get my project to a quarter the awesomeness of yours

I just answered that question on the previous page...but I'll forgive ya Its got a filter on it. That pic was taken just after we finished fabbing it though. Its had a filter ever since. Granted its a $15 ebay filter, but thats the only one that would fit.

Well thank you for the kind words! I'm flattered. I do think its pretty awesome myself though...with even awesomer goals. Glad I could steer you in the right direction for turbo purchasing and glad I can bring Goldfarb some more potential business because they are truly awesome. I like to support the companies like Southbend, Goldfarb, and EFIexpress, etc. that run a good clean business and have great cust. service and help a brotha out from time to time!

This is a pretty fun sorta update...

So this is what the HX52 looked like when I first unpackaged it.



under the comp cover is pretty oily. Wheel measures something like 67mm inducer and 98mm exducer.



this is a BIG 16cm housing. Much bigger in exterior size than the 16 that I had on my H1C. You can also see the oil drain.



Here is the "almost T4" flange and oil feed.



Big ole v-band and some oil on the turbine blades. I think I'm going to call it safe and just rebuild this one. However, there is NO shaft play at all and the housings aren't cracked. This is what you want to look for when buying a Holset.



Now...here is the pic in my sig. The H1C looks pretty decent (read: big) in there right?












now how does it look?



When I opened the box up I was almost unimpressed with the size of this thing. After looking at this picture however, I guess it looks pretty huge lol.


oh and last but not least, THANK YOU GOLDFARB!!!!

When does it go on the car? Are you going to use your existing manifold with and adapter or something? At least it will space it away from the intake tube.
