Hi, what turbo was used on the early 24 valves? Will they hook up to and work on our trucks or do they talk to the pcm in some fashion? A guy I know is selling one for $300 because he upgraded and I was wondering if it would be good to pick up for faster spooling mostly.

I don't plan to run a whole lot of boost, well, not much more than stock anyways; I'm mostly interested in faster spooling time at lower RPM. Would the 24v turbo be a good choice for that kind of setup?

 

hy-35, 9cm housing, spools quicker.

 

98 24v had 7 blade hx 35 turbos. ive ran one of these alot and love them for fuel economy and spool-up. the 99 -02 autos had the hy-35 and standards had the hx. the hx is better but the hy is also a good upgrade. very easy to swap on a 1st gen.

 

depending on the milage and shaft play on the turbo, 300 is a little high. I'd offer him 2 and go to 225, but wouldn't go much past that, those turbos are plentiful. It's a great upgrade for a stock to mild first gen, or at least it was on mine.

I just bought a HX 35 W off an 02 truck, and it appears that I will need a 02 down pipe as I dont think that the exhaust is the same hook up as what I have on my 93.
