Has it been done?

Some jackhole was telling me that he had a set of twin turbos for sell. I asked him what turbos they were, he said it was two hx35s and he could make 90 psi max! I didnt bother to argue with him i simply replied with "90 psi with two hx35s? Man thats impressive" Anyways, i got to thinking, what would happen if you did put a set of hx35 twins on a truck? Im thinking it wouldnt be much different than stock, maybe even worse, but ive been wrong before. I know you could no where near hit 90 psi, but just curious if any one has done it.

yes, it would be much worse...you'd be lucky to hit 20psi...

an HX35 is not going to make 90psi anywhere on earth, Mars, or any other planet for that matter... two of them sitting next to eachother aren't going to either, it just doesn't work like that

That's one of the craziest things I've ever heard. People would rather lie than tell the truth sometimes.

The cool thing with a pair of 35s is that you do not need studs or a new headgasket!!

If the housings were sized correctly, you could make it work.. it would not be the best setup.. but it could function.. Look at BD's twin setup.. using two S300's.. what most are running as a single.. they are using in a twin setup.. and most that are running their setup are very happy.. and some well over the 600hp.. You just couldn't push the 35's to a high HP..
I believe there have been a few that blown head gaskets with 35's.. usually caused by the high drive pressure... 90psi.. that would really be pushing it.. but many are pushing the stock 35's into the mid 40psi range (yes out of its efficent range) Just remember when you build twins you are adding the pressure created by each turbo... (each builds 30psi.. you get a total of 60_

I know! It kills me This guy is someone that sent me a message on myspace, i guess because he saw the pictures of my dodge, and i had some pulling videos up on my page. Supposedly he has a "pullin truck". I decided to get him going just to see how much BS he would feed me, so i asked him what all he had done to his truck. Heres what he wrote back
"im runnig 2oo horse injectors on the ground
ats boxs piggybacked lol
chatam fuel pushers
low end torque converts
engine been bored out 30 over (shouldnt done it)
head work
doubble disk clutch (when i first put it in i put it in backwards lol)
twins
high preformance fuel pump
refrigerated air intake
4 coiled banks radiator
and a few extras"


Man i got this guy goin good. The sad thing is, he was DEAD serious and i guess he thought that i believed every word of it. Funny thing is on his pictures he had the usual pictures of himself, and then he had a picture of Eric Stingleys truck, and a picture of George Petersons truck and both were pulling the sled. I recognized both of these trucks right off. Under the picture of Eric Stingleys truck, the caption said "Me pullin at Clemenstville, Came in fifth". And underneath George Petersons truck he wrote "Lil bro pullin his truck" So after all this i decided to inform him that i didnt believe a word that he said, and that he obviously didnt have a clue what he was talking about. Needless to say he never wrote anything back, but it was a good laugh anyways

those are two very different sized S300's... that's like taking a ram 1500 V6 and comparing it with a mega cab 3500 Cummins... and saying they're the same because they're both Rams...

and you don't add the pressure, you compound it...
