18.5 or 21cm^2 Holset turbine housing for 400rwhp?
Hey guys,
As many of you have read I am doing a 400rwhp HX35 setup. I am unsure of what housing will get me there.
T3 18.5cm^2 housing or the T3 21cm^2 housing?
Here is information about the HX35W: http://www.turbo-mopar.com/forums/vb...&articleid=122
Any good opinion would be greatly appreciated.

Ya, maybe in the future once I get bored with the holset.
Any ideas on spool time with a LARGE streetport and proper tune?

As to the OP, getting to 400 rwhp is going to somewhat tough with the T3 flange on the rotary I think...Can you source a T4 from the HX40 and mate it to the HX35?
I'm personally going with a full HX40, with the 4" inducer and 4" exhaust, T4...using the 19cm housing since I've heard the 21 is kinda big, but smaller than 19 is somewhat small..

Not everyone has the money to shell out for an overpriced turbo. The 35R's response is better than the Holset's, but not worth the extra $1000 IMO...

Ive already explored the HX40 housing option. I already have the HX35, so I would like to run it. Since I live in Canada on an island, it is a bit harder for me to get an HX40 for a good price... DO you have any contacts where you might be able to source out an HX40?
So i guess in the T3 i will probably want to go with the 21cm housing.. I will portmatch the best that I can, Ive got a tapered T3/T4 flange on order. But that will defiantly not make up for the smaller turbine volume..

Someone on the forum pointed me to him...I'm waiting for him to get the turbo that matches my specs, but hes going to sell a remanufactured one with a 1 year warranty for $550 USD + shipping...not bad at all.

Not to thread jack, but I have a similar build and a similiar question.
My H1E (HX40) seems to have a 26cm/2 housing.
Am I going to spool this thing?

goes on the dyno tomorrow, i will post sheets in my thread. it spools pretty good, full boost in second around 4800 i would guess, never get much time to look at the gauge. i will look at a data log tomorrow and let you know. its a small street port, im using a haltech e6k.

I hope the 16 isnt laggy, thats small from what i have ready, i also have heard that 19 was best. mine has a 17 so hopefully my stock ports can spool it quick...

I sort of need to know what housing I am going with before I start fabricating my exhaust. From the sounds of it the 18.5 will work, but because it is T3 I have my doubts.

that's kinda....low. Are you at least running all trailing edge plugs? If not...why weren't you lol...but yeah...

kinda low, 400 whp is not low, its quite a bit, i have a small street port on a series 4 motor with used housings and used apex seals, stock ignition, stock fuel system except for the pump and a hks cast non divided manifold. i think 400 is pretty awesome.
