Was this hit in the front? Looks kinda crooked from the pic. Can you post some more pics of the body? Any rust or anything? Hows the interior?

A couple of things i noticed is that i dont know of any genuine mitsu turbo that has an id tag, so it might be a knock off. Another thing is i dont see how you are suppose to attach an exhaust to the housing unless you weld it directly to it.

It depends on what exactly you want (spool? and hp?) and how much boost you are set up to run. I dont have any personal experience with the 2.6, but id estimate spool on the .55 in the mid-3krpm range, .70 around 4krpm, and the 18cm^2 housing in the mid-4krpm range based on what ive seen. If Blue_crush gives me a more precise spool rpm on his setup i might be able to make a closer guess, but it looks like his setup spools about 400+rpm faster than the same turbo on my dsm. The bigger the exhaust housing the lower the backpressure which increases VE to gain you more hp/psi, but at the cost of extra lag. The 650+hp car listed in the summary was running over 40psi. On my 4g63 i was running a hx40 with the 18cm^2 housing and it was hitting mid-20psi around 5krpm, but when it hit it almost felt like it was gunna break all 4 tires loose in 3rd because it came on so suddenly. If it were me and i already had a manifold thats setup for a t3, id just put the holset housing on it and see how i liked it. Actually i would probably look for a 16cm^2 housing. That would probably be the cheapest one to find and would spool faster than the 18cm^2. The last core i bought just to have the exhaust housing i wanted cost me $100 shipped. I even had parts to fix the chra to use as a backup if i need one. I can take some pics of the 18cm^2 compared to the 16cm^2 if you want. I have both. My next suggestion probably isnt something you will want to do. If you went with a divided manifold (twin scroll) it would give you better spool and still allow you to use the holset housings. I dont think anybody is making them for the 2.6, so it would have to be custom built. I will be running a setup like this on my car with a 17cm^2 holset housing next. Ive changed a couple other things too, but im hoping to spool it close to 4k on my 2.0. http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm313/boostedts/hx40%2017cm/downsized_0326091541.jpg http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm313/boostedts/hx40%2017cm/0326091534.jpg Its just like everything else, you have to compromise somewhere.

There have been a couple updates since that was written. It should also be noted that the summary is based on 4g6x setups. The 653whp for the 60mm hx40 in BEP .55 exhaust housing setup on pump gas plus methanol later made 685whp and 584tq on e85. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v684/badman21/TurboSharky.jpg Also, the 8 blade hx35 in stock 12cm^2 housing with non-divided manifold can spool faster than the 4000rpm summary claim. I was seeing 20+psi by 3700-3800 on my stock 7.8:1 4g63 with 272 cams on my wh1c which is basically the same turbo.

BEP just did a run on the housings, so you shouldnt have a problem finding them.

What housing are you looking for? If you are looking for holset housings for it, the smallest direct fit housing for the hx40 that i know of is gunna be a 16cm. Another alternative would be to have a 12cm hx35 housing machined out for the hx40 turbine. If you want a BEP housing there are only 2 sizes, .55ar and .70ar. The .55 is mitsu flanged inlet and the .70 is t3 flanged inlet. They use to offer a .55ar t3 inlet, IIRC.

Alright, if i have to. :driving:

All the 4g6x single cam heads that ive seen were all 12 valve, but this dash head seems to only open the second intake valve at higher rpm. My guess for the reason its not popular over here is that the dohc head is better, but i could be wrong. I dont know when the first dohc 4g6x head was offered, but i think it was around the late 80s. What years were these dash heads offered?

Probably a more accurate description would be "Man that big comp cover makes the comp wheel look small". I wouldnt consider a 56mm inducer to be small, especially compared to stock.

Most holsets have a 12mmX1.5 oil inlet, but some have a bolt on flange. It might also have a removable inverted fair adaptor depending on where you got it from. The drain should be a standard garret t3 drain flange. Depending on your oil source, you might not need a restrictor. I ran this turbo with an oil feed off the head of a 4g63 with no restrictor and a 4an line. If you want to use a restrictor and cant find the right size you want, you can make one using a nitrous jet whatever size you want. Project is lookin good. Ill be expecting a ride this weekend :thumbsup:
