    The "HOLSET MAFIA" affiliates thread.

    Holset doesn't specify a restrictor for pressures under 72psi. They do specify a much larger drain than -10AN though, so maybe go with a -3AN feed line, or a .100" restrictor to cut down flow a bit. Not too small though, or you'll seize it.. Found this on another forum, it's direct from the...

    To buy or not to buy. Turbo ?

    Depends if they have the receipt to prove it was rebuilt with good parts and rebalanced. Also, is it real, or a knockoff... Could be a great deal though, if they just need the money ASAP or don't know what it's worth.

    let's see your rc cars

    Oh man, now I'm gonna HAVE to get that A70 body (and a chassis for it to go on). That thing looks sweet. All I have right now is a stock Losi Micro-T, I just sold my Associated RC-18 stuff... I had the parts to convert my base RC-18B kit into the truck and monster truck. Had it running an...

    Driving unlawfully. How old are you?

    I take wayyy too much pride in my driving record, so I tend to take it easy most of the time, unless there are no other cars around, and I'm familiar with the road and all the places a cop can hide. I do know all the local roads very well though, and most of them have no place for cops to hide...

    Timing belt, am i being mislead?!

    Guys like that make it hard for honest small garages to do business. Then again, it's hard to say if he was purposefully doing it or if he's just one of those guys that doesn't really know what he's doing, but "fixes" cars anyway.

    OBX Twin Turbo Manifold

    Two 20G's is enough for about 850hp. Spool on a 1JZ is going to be slower than cousin ned and cousin jenny's kid. I'd stick to something in the TD05 turbine family if you really want to use that manifold. Twin TD05H-14B turbos from a m/t 1G eclipse (500-550hp) or a pair of TD05H-16G would be...

    1j auto to manual

    The w58, r154, and auto all use a different driveshaft. The back half interchanges, so you only really need the front half to match your trans.

    The "HOLSET MAFIA" affiliates thread.

    Just finished... not tuned yet, still waiting for my SSI-4 to come in. HX35W, highly hacked and rewelded GSP manifold (#&#$ didn't fit!) w/ divided T3 flange added, 46mm TiAL clone wastegate, custom 304SS downpipe and WG atm dump tube, 05' Ram 2500 oil drainback tube, California Hose Empire...

    Shopping list for winter project! going hx35!

    Ah yeah, you're right. I was thinking of the exhaust wheel having different sizes because I always group the HY35 and HX35 together in my head... (HY35 turbine wheel is smaller, as is the housing, but it has the same compressor wheel as the 7blade HX35). I may pick up one of these and drop it on...

    Diagnosing injector problems

    Visually inspecting them will only work if they're leaking really bad. If they were leaking it would also cause hot starting problems, as it would flood one cylinder when you shut the car off, and if you try to restart ten minutes later, it will either be hydrolocked with gas, or run with a bad...

    What Is Unique About Your MK3???

    If the stock intake is sucking room temperature air from the outside it's going to be providing ALOT cooler air temps than an open filter sucking 200F+ air from the engine bay. On my Mazda when I went from a short intake to a real in-the-fender cold air intake my IAT temps while driving in town...

    1jz starting problems(help!!)

    When I disconnected my speed sensor to do the "speed limited removal mod" this is how my car acted. When I hooked the speed sensor back up it was fine. Although, everyone tells me this didn't happen, so...

    Shopping list for winter project! going hx35!

    It depends, there are different HX35 exhaust wheel sizes, not sure if any of them shared the wheel size with the HX40. There's good info about the holset turbo varieties on the dsmtuners forum, and on one of the dodge ram websites (can't recall which one though). If there's a new "holset" on...

    Holset oil drain, -10AN is too small?

    Quick update on this... Not much of that worked out. Not enough room under the turbo for AN fittings, and bending a hard tube was not working out either. I ended up buying a drain tube from a 2005 Ram 2500 5.9L (diesel) which has a flange on one end that goes to the turbo of a 12" corrugated...

    Turbocharging questions

    GT35 or GT40 are going to have a noticeable increase in lag above the stock twins, no matter what a/r or trim you go with. I found a few people using mitsubishi 20G turbos (unsure about the lag, but it should be minimal on a 2.5L) and GT3071R and GT3076R turbos on the 1JZ that had fast spool...

    Hideous Supra "Ferrari" MKIII for sale...

    I wonder if he ever had someone say to him "hey man, nice ferrari" lol. There are people that dumb out there. My cousin stuck a Mercedes emblem on the front of his Z32 300ZX once when he brought it to the shop for some work (as a joke) and about 3 people asked me "is that a new mercedes? what...

    1JZ-GTE - CT-12 Wastegates

    With just basic intake and exhaust and a FMIC my car was showing 12 psi running with the wastegates hooked up direct. In cold weather it was closer to 14. If you have a bleed off hole after the WG solenoid (all MBC's do, some EBC's do) then the slight leakage out of that hole causes boost to...

    What are your 5 must have mods on a supra?

    1. Weight removal 2. Good tires 3. Intake 4. Exhaust 5. Suspension bushings This is assuming the whole car is in good shape and it's got an engine making at least 230hp stock. Oh, wait, those were "must have FIRST mods"... not "end all" mods. I'd be here all day listing my idea of the perfect...
