cute wee gem Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Keen to hear how you get on with the Holset, I've got a WH1C 12cm for my 2jz, but thinking of going bigger, or perhaps using hx40 compressor side if it's possible? They are definitely very well built and sturdy as shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zx_nz Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Will do man, going to be really interesting to see, alot of debate over spool time in comparison to Garrett BB turbos, HX40/H1E is very similar to GT40R. Since diesels run colder and exhaust gases move slower than a petrol engine, so Holsets have been designed to induce spool earlier apparently. Perhaps someone can add to that?? Yeah you can with a H1E compressor side, not too sure about HX40 since it is held together differently, gigantic clip as opposed to a V-clamp. http://www.1stgen.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3042 Or you could get a complete H1E and use the 12cm2 housing you have, has to be machined to fit since it has a bigger turbine wheel.

kyteler Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'm not sure if he's on here, or at least on here much but Nick (stagefumer11) has a holset on his L20ET, IIRC, went to a slightly larger one with the L28, mebbe, I'm pretty sure he used a Holset regardless. I'll try rattle his cage and get him in here to comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
