HX35, 7blade (600bhp) comp, 12cm exhaust- any good for a 13BT?

As title really, as I have an almost limitless supply of them, so would make sense to use them

Compressor is about GT35R size in capability, turbine flows really well despite it "only" being a 12cm T3 divided housing- used one on a 5litre V8 and didnt seem to even strangle that revving it to 6k and pushing around 500 horse, BUT is it too small for a street ported 13B?

Car currently has a T04E on it, as it came over from Japan, at least I was told its a T04E, fairly small compressor whatever it is, and my manifold has cracked so I need to remove it anyhow, and while I was at it, if its not going to be worse than whats on it currently, id be tempted to swap to a T3 flange and run the HX35s, as like I said, I have a huge supply of the 7 blade '600bhp' ones here.

Anyone ran a 7 or 6 blade (not the lower power 8) 35 on a 13B and can give any experiences of it?

Thanks

The T3 holsets are going to be way to small. I run a WH1E with 26cm housing and i get 15psi at 3200 ish with a streetport.

26 cm is a big housing, you are moving a lot of air. What kind of power are you making?

Definitely too small for 600hp. The turbine side might be sufficient for 600hp, but the compressor definitely isnt up to par.

To small for sure. If you have access to Holsets and want 600hp. Get an HX50, HX52, or HX55.

He's describing the turbo, it's obviously "Piston HP". He just wants to replace his turbo and manifold and make a couple extra HP.

As above, I dont want 600bhp, I just meant the compressor can do 600 as its not the more common 8 blade ones, 400-450@fly would be fine, think its only about 350 as it is!

So its honestly too small for even that? I mean we put one on a 5litre revving to 6k and it didnt strangle it like a lot of "bigger" turbos did previously.

Has anyone actually tried one on a 13B or?
