H1C, HX35W, HY35... Hybrid??
Alright folks. I got three turbos sitting here nect to me:
H1C with an 18 cm exhaust housing HX35W with an 12 Wastegated exhaust housing HY35 with a wastegated exhaust housing unknown size.(its factory) What would be the best everyday, trailering,power, turbo. Is there some kind of hybrid to make from them? Thanks |
The HX35-12 would work good with your 5-speed. You could change the compressor wheel to a 60mm upgrade.
|
Joe, here is a link to gillette's website. They sell the compressor and wheel upgrade for turbos. I would also think that the hx35-12 with the compressor upgrade would be your best bet.

what is the upgrade worth for the hx-35
|
Id vote for the HX35/12 for spool up and drivability.
but you might also keep your ears to the ground for some other options: We had our hydrid hx35/40 in my old 91 scatter and in shopping around went a little off the beaten path. it was a HX35 w/ the hx40 60mm wheel with a 14cm WG housing 4" exhaust POD's & gov spring kit we had a 93 intercooler on it since the truck was a non intercooled and the hybrid worked well but we were looking at $$$$ to get a new one and in the first place it wasnt cheap. Found a dodge 05 eletronic WG turbo. he351 which comes with a 60mm wheel.... removed the eletronic WG. plugged the hole tapped it for 1/8 npt and put a standard adjustable elbow in. adjusted to have the WG open at 38 psi. cheapest best mod i ever did to my 91. provided same cooling for EGT's noticed slightly lower cruising egts and the same WOT egts while pulling a load, better spool up. for the money it was hard to beat i had to order a down pipe so that was $110 bought the turbo for $300 boost elbow for $25 and a couple of gaskets for $20. i also had a little triming on the intercooler tube but all said and done for less than $500 i had a turbo that kept my truck happy jsut as well as my old hybrid..... and made the drivability a little snappier. i was pretty happy with the results and doubt i would ever spend the money on a hybrid with this option available. plus i sold the hybrid and picked up some of the cost. so really the mod cost me $250 since i got $250 for that core rebuildable hybrid turbo |
I would definatly go with the HX35W 12cm. The HY35 if I'm not mistaken are a 9cm exhaust housing which is way to restrictive. Go to Gillette I think mine cost me around 260-280.

Thanks thats what i was looking for.

Depends on the model. the later model 03+ housing is not too restrictive several members on the board have tested the later 03+ hy's on earlier trucks 12v's etc (myself included) and had good rivability and good drive pressure results. For the most part the early HY35's 99-02 are very restrictive though |
03+ trucks dont use hy35's i thought? im like 90% sure they used He351 60mm comp. didnt they?
|
04.5 and up 5.9s use the he351 with 60mm compressor. I have one and its going on my 93 when I have some time off. I has to weld the electronic wastegate hole shut and I will also have to weld a relocation bracket for the wastegate.
The turbo can be reclocked so it almost matches up with the stock intercooler pipe. It also has a true 4inch outlet on it. |
The waste gate is far superior in the HE351 over the HY9 or HY35. It really isn't a bad charger at all.
