been searching around trying to find out what guys are doing when they hook up the hx35. what are guys doing about the waste gate? no one seems to answer so help is appreciated, i know im not the only one wondering about this

thanks guys

 

What is it you are trying to do with it?

 

Hook up the wastegate ??

You mean you have a older h1c truck (92 in your sig) and your putting on the wastegated hx35 from a 2nd gen ??

 

yeah i have this on my truck. How do I plug the wastgate

 

From what I understand, you're trying to shut the wastegate to prevent it from opening, thus giving you maximum boost, correct? If you want to do it the proper way, there's a retaining ring on the bottom of the adjusting rod. Take that off, loosen the locking nut on the threaded part, and thread the rod all the way in. It's much easier if you take the turbo off.
Otherwise, you could clamp the hose going to the diaphragm with whatever you choose; vise grips, zip tie, (don't think it'll hold but you could try it.) etc etc.

 

If you kink the hose, the wrap a tie pie around the kinked area it should hold. It work for the previous owner of my HX35.
When I first did my compounds I didn't plumb it right to have a wastegate, so I removed it completely. I then used some stainless lock wire to hold the wastegate closed, and anchored it to a bolt threaded into one of the waste gate holes.

 

Did yall use the existing oil drip line or did yall get one for a 2nd gen and used it because i am having problems with mine leaking.

 

well i wasnt 100% sure what it was to be honest. i didnt know if some sort of hose had to come out of it and hook up to something that wasnt there? so essentially i can just hook the hx35 right up?

 

Yep.

 

now is it safe to just close the waste gate for good?
