Holset Hx30 queries ?????????

[drifter_uk]

Hi guys done a bit of research on holset hx30 turbos and seem to be a good match for the power/torque output i'm wanting (sr20) blacktop

Does anyone know what they come of ??? as i'm not far away from a lorry/truck breakers yard and think it'll be worthwhile having a look see if i could find one cheap but would like to know where to start (make of veichle/size etc)



I was looking at hx35's but for what i want there just to big and laggy lol But i do know they come on the IVECO 7.5 Tonne lorrys


any info would be great

A 2871r will be just as good and alot easier to come by.

[drifter_uk]

not really but also bearing in mind a 2871 will cost at least 5-£600 second hand or nearly £1000 new when i could get similar results using this turbo for maybe??? £100-£120 for the tubby from breakers £100 for a mani (xs power,unamed brand ebay jobbie) add extra bracing where needed + itll flow upto 380bhp and handle in excess of 30-40psi of boost

bpsmurf was the man on here running good power with lots of info on these, but i read on here somewhere on here recently that he had passed away in a car accident his thread might be of some use.

Have a word with retrodan over on dw he used to run one on his comp s13 and knows a fair bit about them

there used to be a company that sold them - GS racing (iirc) however i beleive they have stopped trading, so trying to source them now is a little harder, but ive read of people buying them cheap from the states (£100 a turbo) then rebuilding them.

There are many variations of the HX-30, so scrapyard hunting may not give the best results.

GS racing are trading of sorts, it's been hard to get the parts to make the turbo's from what I've heard tho.

I'm running a hx35 turbo on my s14. It's very laggy but between 4500 and 4700 it kicks you hard in the back right to the redline, the hx30 will give a lot quicker spool but may run out of puff up the top end. If your budget can afford it buy a hx35 with a bep( bulls eye power) exhaust housing and cheap manifold. The housing should bring the spool down by 1000rpm.

yeah i know of the company they are now compressor racing about £400 for a hx30 but out of stock i'll keep my eye on ebay aswell

theres over 300 different variations actually lol and i know that compressor racing was out of the country looking for subjects to bring back to the uk soo think i'll keep my eyes peeled on there website too

Thats the only reason why i dont want a hx35 because of the laggggg to much in my eyes but by doing my research they apparently come from gs racing/comp racing with a 16cm2 exhaust housing and think a 12cm2 housing would be better sooted you can even get a 9cm2 housing but think that would run out of puff higher up aswell it's just so confusing but know their good turbos reading by who use them

some people get full boost in by 3200-3500 and others only get it between 4500-5200 soo there must be a massive difference in the housings

what housing are you using standard 16cm2 or smaller and what spec you running????

Or just spend a bit more and get HX35Super. Has a lot less lag than regular HX35. Maybe even less than HX30...

been looking at the differences on these too and its all about the chambers being different somehow they do spool alottt quicker but there even harder to come by

You can get them from Finland

[bahis]

Almost all turbo shops sell them in Finland. It's very popular turbo over here
