I hope you're not pushing 36 PSI from the stock turbo.. that's a pretty dicey area to ask it to work, it's certainly way out of it's efficiency and making a whole lot of hot air.

 

I'm stumped as well I'm thinking I'm gonna go with the 5x12s and see what difference is with those

 

Oh and as for the lift pump I'm not sure how to check it?

 

Im pushing 40 out of the hx35 and my 5x14s my egts never go above 1100 I only wish I would of gone with a 7 hole injector to get away from the idle hazing

 

cumminsblazer, is your EGT sensor before the turbo?
My 60mm HX35 is insufficient for what I'm asking from it with 60hp injectors, I'll readily get 1300F egt's and have to back off. 40 PSI is certainly outside of the design range of the turbo, and is *probably* overspeeding... it's rated for up to 3.0:1 pressure ratios and 60 lb/min flow (these are peak operating parameters, not where it's efficient.

 

edit, that 60 lb/min is wrong, Holset uses odd units of flow, It's in the 40ish lb/min flow rate

 

Lol yes pre turbo just got some great tunning that made a world of a difference I know im asking alot from the hx 35 for rpm but egt is not a problem one of my last things I did really made the difference with my egts and my smoke and gained power was putting a boost controller between the fuel pin diaphragm and the manifold

 

How many turns do you have your full fuel screw turned in?this whole your pump not being able to be turned up is bothering me

 

At this point I'm not sure I've jacked with it so much as of now i have it turned clockwise as far as I can. It gets tight like I have it bottomed out

 

Thats so weird im lost for words and I seen in the pics that you took off the lock ring maybe try starti g a new thread about that not doing anything just to get the right eyes on seeing the problem
