Its coming along and that is one hell of a down pipe.

 

I wasnt shore if you was telling the truth or not when you told me before :lol:

[nemesis360 0]

:twisted: mmmwaahahaha.....yes I have gone slightly mad!

 

Ive got the room in the bay so I might aswell fill it back up :lol:

yes thats all looking good. what brake fluid reseviour will you be using?

[iceviolet 0]

What turbo spec is that?? is it a holset hx35??

[nemesis360 0]

yes thats all looking good. what brake fluid reseviour will you be using?

 

It was running a 16v one as this hasnt got the tube for the ABS (as thats in the bin!) but im going to run a remote reservoir to fit the inlet pipes in.

 

What turbo spec is that?? is it a holset hx35??

 

Its a Holset HX40, it was stupidly cheap and brand new so I thought id give it a try, after doing some research there are a few people running them on Skylines (2.5 6 cylinder) and their making 1 bar of boost at 3k so it should be ok.

 

I can always put a smaller hot side on it if its crap! :lol:

coming on nicely mate, glad to see the parts you bought off me ageeeeees ago are going to finally get some use :)

Nice, ill be interested in how it goes with that on as ive got a holset turbo in the pipeline, HX35 with 14cm^2 volute and a HX40 comp wheel 83mm. So should spool up quickly! They are big and heavy but virtually industructable! i go to uni with a few guys who work at holset and they say they can take some right stick! The tests they put them under in the R+D department are mental!

Awesome mate. Nice to see some progress :)

i believe it's commonly known as "insanity spec" :nuts: :nuts: :nuts:

 

glad to see it's progressing there pal. rather looking forward to my first spin out in it in future; let's hope it stays dry!!! :twisted: :onfire:

[Kevin Bacon 5]

Nice!

 

Shame you haven't got DBW otherwise you'd have nothing coming out of the bulkhead at all for that ultra mega cleaned look :D

 

That is a monster hotside and downpipe, should be a good laugh!
