The reason I went with the hx52 is cause of the comp of the engine . More compression less boost . Just need more fuel and finer tuning in the fuel maps . I redline at 8500 rpm . Boost don't kick til about 3500 up . But for the most parts night highway runs and rolls I'm in boost 2nd gear .and stay in boost each gear . So I feel I've made a good combo I can work with .
I did take the hx52 off and swap a hx35 on the current motor . but it was to small on the top end . Built boost by 2500 and topped out around 6500 . So I'm putting the hx52 back on on the new rebuild . I'm chasin the dream of being totally scared. Highway brawler he is
Send me the 35 when you get the 52 back on and... well... that's what we do here:
Bet I can get that curve a little better for ya. Do you monitor exhaust backpressure? Wondering how much more the 35 did than the 52 but would depend on what turbine housing it has on it. We are the biggest distributor in the US for aftermarket Garrett turbos also, but there's something about those Holsets that light the fire. All of our pulling turbos are based (loosely) on Holset designs but we add "things" lol like billet compressor wheels we cut in house.
