19cturbo Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) For the water feed and return line you will need -8AN fittings, or at least thats what mine were. i had a bung welded to the thermostat housing on mine for the supply, id buy three 90 degree -8an fittings, two for each end of the supply and one for the return, i messed up and bought a 45 and a 90 for my supply. On the return you have one 90 coming straight off the turbo pointing down, and run it the the same place the factory turbo did with a clamp an fitting, I didnt weld anythign here just clamped it. For the oil feed, you will need an adapter at the oil filter housing and want to run a -4AN line, not sure of the adapter size i got it a long time ago when i bought a stainless braided oil feed line. Now at the top of the turbo you going to want to run a restrictor, 1.5mm i believe it was, you can pick it up on ebay. 1.5mm to -4AN, and you will need one straight -4AN hose fitting and one 90 degree for the top. For the oil drain your goint to want a -10AN line, you will run straight off of the turbo and i ran mine to the pan, just picked up a 90 degree -10AN hose end. and welded a fitting to my pan. I have also attached a picture of my wastegate just to give you an idea for later if you go that route, i just made a bracket and bolted the stock on closed on the holset. You can see i had to modify my down pipe, i used 3 inch V-band i also picked up off of ebay, just make sure they are steel. i just welded it to the stock holset V-band. For the adapter i picked up off of ebay, just type in t3 to dsm flange. i would advise a cast one like the one i got. I picked up my turbo for 230, and would say i have less than 500 in the whole turbo swap. your going to have a couple hundred in parts for putting it on. http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd23/19cturbo/MPI%20project/IMG_20111015_223606.jpg http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd23/19cturbo/MPI%20project/IMG_20111018_174412.jpg http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd23/19cturbo/MPI%20project/IMG_20111018_184330.jpg http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd23/19cturbo/MPI%20project/IMG_20111018_184318.jpg http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd23/19cturbo/MPI%20project/IMG_20120107_194928.jpg http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd23/19cturbo/MPI%20project/IMG_20111102_212100.jpg http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd23/19cturbo/MPI%20project/IMG_20111102_212051.jpg http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd23/19cturbo/MPI%20project/IMG_20111102_191219.jpg http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd23/19cturbo/MPI%20project/IMG_20111102_191227.jpg http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd23/19cturbo/MPI%20project/IMG_20111102_191235.jpg Edited April 26, 2012 by 19cturbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leesfer Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Which HX35 did you get exactly? Some of them are only oil cooled and some are both oil and water cooledEdit: Nevermind, you said yours is both water and oil cooler already I'm using a .065" restrictor which was referred to me when doing my build The DSM guys say that -12an is the proper oil drain size Edited February 10, 2012 by leesfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamble88 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 ^^Yep and you want the biggest oil return line possible. Some dsm guys had problems with a 10an return. If you can do a 12an do a 12an. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19cturbo Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 i was told to go with -10, so im not sure. not had any problems with mine so far. i believe my restrictor was .059 or 1.5 mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leesfer Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 i was told to go with -10, so im not sure. not had any problems with mine so far. i believe my restrictor was .059 or 1.5 mm 1.5MM is probably a better idea than the .065" but it all depends on how large your feed line is... I'm using a 6an with the .065" and that should be good... some DSM guys use -3an feed lines with no restrictor even Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19cturbo Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 6 is huge for a feed, most recommend 4 if not smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leesfer Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 6 is huge for a feed, most recommend 4 if not smaller. 6 is huge, yeah but at the time I was just using lines and fittings that I already had around... I will eventually get down to changing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89BananaQuest Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Ok i can get an hx35 or an hx40 both are same price and shame condition witch one would u guys go with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) I went with a 1.5mm restrictor and 4-an oil feed lines. The thread on the Holset for oil feed is M12x1.5 IIRC. You can get an adapter on ebay that will do the trick and even have the proper restriction.As for where to go with the drain? I had mine run to the stock oil return for a while and then wlded a bung in the pan. Either way didn't make a difference in my case (that I know of), but I would recommend going to the pan and using 12-an line.

leesfer Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Ok i can get an hx35 or an hx40 both are same price and shame condition witch one would u guys go with? How many blades on the HX35? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwolf Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Yeah depending if its an 8 or 7 blade hx35... Personally if i had to redo it...i would go hx40! >:] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89BananaQuest Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I can find out. Are u guys talkin blades on the compressor wheel or turbine wheel? And witch one is better 7 or 8? Also i know there t3 flanges. And then one of the 40's are t4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leesfer Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 We are talking about the blades on the compressor wheel... the 7 blade is best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Personally if i had to redo it...i would go hx40! >:] Bump the boost up to 25psi and you will sing a different tune. It's incredible how the HX35 turns into a different monster at those levels BTW mine is a 7 blade with the BEP .70 A/R hotside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamble88 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I think there is a 6 blade as well. 7 is the best for the full RPM band but they are harder to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89BananaQuest Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Ok, just emailed him the 2 hx35's that he has are both seven blades and both. Have t3 flanges. Any thing else i shold find out? Or will they work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leesfer Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Not sure. 3592791 thats the part number off of the tag. That is the stock hotside with the internal wastegate You are going to probably want to get a new hotside from Tim's Turbos or BEP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamble88 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I had an hx40 with the BEP hotside. It's a really nice piece and also vband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
