iceviolet 0 Posted April 23, 2010 Hi guys, just wondering if anyone has had any experience with using a holset turbo on a vr6?? I have been toying with the idea of putting some kind of blower on my vr6 for a while now. Not 100% decided on charged or turbo, but turbo seems to be the way to go these days. I may have the oppurtunity to get my hands on a HX35, cheap in the near future. Just wanted to know if anyone has any feedback, or thoughts on them. And also if it would be suitable on a vr6. The spec of the turbo is: HX35 with 14cm^2 volute and a HX40 comp wheel 83mm Like i say, would this turbo be suitable/manageable on a vr?? If so i think ill give it a go, be a nice project for me, i have a spare engine to mock it up on in my garage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coullstar 0 Posted April 23, 2010 I suppose any turbo can fit as long as it goes in the bay. Just a matter of getting the right manifold made up, oil lines etc. Whether it would suit the VR is another story which I cannot say. You have to questions why its cheap as well.
