thats why i marked the shaft, and put the compressor wheel back exactly as it was and torqued it to holset specs.. as far as the rebuild went it was cake.. have you had a quote on having one rebuilt?

there is a shop locally that would send it off somewhere to be rebuilt for 399.99 which is really expensive imo
my friend who works at a machine shop said he could rebuild it for around 150$ including the rebuild kit, but not 100% on how good his work is
going to pm albert and see if he could rebuild it or if you guys recommend any turbo shops in the tri-cities,wa area, or anywhere close to that

hey man, i am running an hx35 on my 1j. i see full spool by 3500 with a .63 housing. mine was blown up when i got it and i rebuilt it with a kit and all you really need is a pair of small snap ring pliers. i just matched up the hatch marks on the shaft and wheel. never balanced it and ive been running it for over a year now at 22 psi. not saying that i recommend it but you could rebuild it and have it balanced. i think there is place in kent wa called alamo turbocharger services. they should be able to balance it.
that thing looks like it pulls hard! how much power are you putting down to the wheels?
ill give alamo a call and see how much they would charge to balance, watched some youtube videos and doesnt look like its too hard to replace the bearings and seals

200 sounds fair. 325whp 15psi stock clutch slipping. 22psi now with a good clutch. Should be around 400 now

rebuild kit ordered, should be here friday and rebuilt by sunday or monday!
got a good deal on some yokohama tires with 90% tread, and some 17x8 wheels
245/45-17 all season tires
what do you guys think?
took some video with my friends contour before the turbo started smoking a bunch. got a little too much wind in there

I use an etching marker that junk yards engine builders and turbo builders use, you make a dot on the shaft and wheel half on each respectively and just line them back up so the dot or circle is perfect and torque it. Between a buddy and myself we have done several all 3 or 4 years ago on dsm's and a couple of Holsets, all perfect.
I just bypassed with a tube and just jumped the two coolant lines together.sheedy126;1927850 said:
made an adapter to rotate the wastegate 90* so it doesnt dump out toward the oil pan and i can fit a dump tube in there
slightly angled
also made a custom dipstick tube with some high temp braided hose to clear the new header
turbo is back from being rebuilt and should installed in a couple hours!

Nice! You have inspired me my friend good work. After I saw the wire tuck I had to do it. I want to see what kind of spool characteristics and power you make with that HX35. I considered it, actually bought one but it was trash and went driftmotion 57 trim. Good work, keep it coming!
Shouldnt, just pull your plugs and look for lean conditions and watch your FP. What AFR do you hit WOT 3rd gear?
not yet soon I will at 15 psi.sheedy126;1928001 said:ill try and get a sound clip here soon
bad news earlier, turbo will need a rebuild. i was taking a chance with a used turbo off a diesel with 100k miles anyway, smokes quite a bit.
wastegate needs rotated 90* from how it is now. the dump tube only has a couple inches and hits the oil pan
with the new header the car has a deeper sound and sounds more cammed which is awesome. still using the same 272 snyder racing cams
edit: kakanator, did you ever get your car dyno'd with that turbo?
