Where were you feeding the turbo from? I had my lil 8 blade hx35 up to 33psi running meth and 1000cc injectors. Did u run your holsets on on the bolt on housing?

I ran both Bolt-on and T3 housings. Oil feed originally came from the OFH on my very 1st holset. Shortly after, I had to rebuild it...after that I've always ran the feeds from the head supply. Since that 1st holset, i've yet to see another oil issue. If you creep back a few posts you'll see my issues were turbine wheels melting. I've always bought authentic Holsets so counterfeit parts are out of the question. If I picked up another DSM, despite my troubles, I would probably still slap a pro-40 on and just keep the boost moderate....and hopefully not hate myself for it.

Did you ever dyno or track your car with the holset on it?

[blackvr4]

I only ran my holset car once, but it was my first ever time at the track. Best I could get was a 12.5 @118, I was running a gutted 2G maf, had a leaky BOV, and leaky TB seals. When I just switched the MAF (To a 2G non gutted with all the honey combs) my airflow readings went from a 42lbs/min to 52 lbs/min at 30psi (where exactly where it should be for a 56mm 8 blade hx35), car started running a lot stronger, after I fixed all the dumb problems, I got to run a 11.50 GN from a dig in mexico on slicks and meth and we were dead freakin even. PM me if you wanna see the video.

Unfortunately I never got to run it again after that, I really am trying to run this year at the shootout on the new set up, since they don't tech and I don't think my car will pass tech at any track near us

Holsets are the truth! Billet 7 blade HX40-30psi@4407 RPMs on my car.

Were you using e85?

[blackvr4]

I think he used to run pump and a **** load of meth.

[11secdsm]

He still runs pump/meth. No E85 around here.

[outlawzxblizz99]

DSMs ever have a get together in the area? If not we can all chill at my house, drink, work on cars, bs, etc.

There's a huge meet this weekend.

I am with you Nick. The Holsets ran great and for a while at levels below 30psi. Between 35-40psi they let got often. The S362 I ended with on my old 1G never missed a beat, but it was a true BW and not BEP.

[blackvr4]

I wanna get my hands on a T3 Borg S366 for my next turbo once I get bored of the HX40.

[HaveBlue83]

1g Head is @ the machine shop and my HX35 is in for new seals and wheel as we speak. then its getting run off the head. EFF the ofh and those shenenigans.

I miss my panda zen. i need to hurry up and get to outlaws house to grab the **** i need to assemble the engine. I miss my boooooooost.

[stover]

im running my hx35 at 12psi currently and it seems like a monster i cant wait till i get a pump and link to turn it up

[blackvr4]

lol you think its a monster at 12? wait till you crank this thing to over 20, on my DSM with the hx35 the power increase going from 10-20 was so much less significant than going from 20-22. These things love boost.

My 56mm billet hx40 at 25psi right now, DSMlink is showing an HP estimation of 560-580 (don't know how accurate it is but the car does feel fast) and air flow numbers at 58lbs/min. Still gotta squeeze another 5psi out of it, really dont wanna blow it up before the shootout since I am running a stock motor.

HAHA. I started that meet 5 years ago. I guess Brian is still keeping it going.
