i know, its a common question on the 1st gens......... does the hx35 bolt on.... does it spool better......so on.

does it? and is it a better alternative to the 60mm housing from BBDP? i am not looking for huge boost numbers and the truck will make around 350HP when im done......... i just want a turbo that sounds good and i can feel when i go to pass someone.

thank you so much for any help.

 

An HX35 is a better compromise to the H1C, in that it has a tighter housing and, if you luck into an 8 bladed compressor wheel, it is a slight bit bigger than the OEM H1C that was on your truck.

A 60mm upgrade on an HX35 would be a very decent turbo for close to stock, even some decent tuning, IMO.

yes it will spool better and pretty sure to make it work its just a little customization to make it bolt on. if your planning on doing it make sure you get a $15 boost elbow.

 

Yup its better

 

I have read where the swap makes your mileage go down do to the different hosing sizes from the H1C to the HX35.

 

ok,so i should go with the hx35 and not the 60mm compressor upgrade?

and what about the elbow?

BTW does anyone know of a legitimate place to get a HX35 for fairly cheap around $300?

 

Search Craigslist. I see them on there for 250 and up all the time around here. Just look it over really good before you buy one, make sure you're not just buying someone elses problem. I personally decided against getting an hx35 just because I've read that a lot of guys have egt problems with them and mpgs go way down. But to each his own

 

what if i did a twin turbo setup with my stock turbo and an HX35?............. is that stupid or would it work?

 

If it worked, it'd be very marginal.
An HE351CW and an BHT4B turbo might be a decent set-up.

The big thing with the 4bt guys right now is an HX30/HX35 combo.

Just my .02 but i bought an HX35W from an outfit on ebay by the name of CX racing. It was brand new and have had it on now for 2 years and have put roughly 5000 miles on it. I am pleased with the power increase and have not had a noticeable amount of mileage loss. It was 300 on the nose and I also did the 15 dollar elbow. It was an easy install and have enjoyed the truck alot. I am not an expert by any means but this is the road i went down and I have done good so far. Best of luck!!
