i think its cost. and maybe a little to do with its hard to find any info on holsets. theres a lot of dsm guys that are using hx35's and hx40's. i think my next turbo will be an hx40 with a 12cm housing. i just cant ditch the fact that these turbos are so cheap yet so reliable and can flow so much. only thing that im worried about is spool. which with the correct setup should not be an issue. also everyone will give you shit for using a diesel turbo, cuz it came off a diesel. screw those guys, its tried and true my friend, and the hx series is better than the gt, just not the ball bearing ones.
Yeh totally. And as far as the hard to find info thing. Make some info and try shit out. People are such pussys it's only a few hundred dollars! If it turns out shitty I don't care. And if people rag on me for having a diesel turbo then fuck em. I can laugh at them for wasting their life savings on a "kit" or what ever, only to make the same power.
I already get a lot of shit for having megasquirt. They usually shut the fuck up when they see it running well.
Sorry I'm not saying I'm fast as hell or anything. But I can embarass $60,000 audis and BMW on the highway. They hate my $500 piece of shit.
For me it's about economy. At the beginning of this car it took me $2000 to make 300whp. Now it will take me another $1000 to break 400. Still good. this way I can spend my money on things that are important to me. Better suspension components and tires.
sorry for the rant. And mdc I might need to get that flange fom ya buddy.
Btw, here's n HY35 on a 2.0l honda:
