i have the stock holset hx35 right now and am wanting to get a he351 to replace the hx35 with what do you guys think about that any one done this before

 

HE351CW or HE351VE?

HE351CW swaps have been done several times, it is a decent upgrade.

 

ve

 

its been done, its what im planning on putting on my 96. but your going to need a method of opening and closing the vanes in the turbo.. fleece makes a controller but there pretty expensive.

 

the cw you dont need the controller do you

 

No you don't.

 

then ill look for a cw

 

a he351cw is a 60/60/9 it is a fun upgrade over the hx but not a huge one.

parts you will need

he351cw
hx40 down pipe
hx40 to he351 adapter flange
hx40 v-band clamp
he351cw v band clamp
a plug for the electronic controller on the cover of the he351
and you will have to fab up a charge pipe as the 351 has a 3rd gen cover.

$350 for the charger and prolly $250ish for the hardware so $600+ for the upgrade
not bad compared to a small s300 which will be in the $1200+ range

 

once i get it all tuned in i was wanting to run like 35 to 40 psi range what you think of that

 

stay in the mid 30's on a stock charger. much more is just hard on everything with very little benefit as far as power goes. volume is what is important NOT PSI! the 60mm wheel will move more air than the 56mm hx will at whatever psi it is running at. volume not PSI.
