well the hy35 just wasn't cutting anymore. decided to go with a holset he351ve. using Fleece Performances vgt controller to control the veins. also putting on a 4" downpipe, an ATS 3-piece manifold and magnaflow 30" muffler.

veins closed

veins open


had to use and adaptor to make it fit on a t3 flange




didn't like the 90deg coming off the turbo. so we changed it up a little. dont mind the ugly valve cover. it was taken off today(adjusted valves) and cleaned up.






also got rid of the silencer ring

 

Nice, I'm running one as well.

 

Cool install I love mine as well. these things have a sound all their own with the silencer ring out.

 

yeah im really excited to get it finished... have to call fleece and figure out how to calibrate the turbo and get the controller working right.

 

jw how much power these things can hold up too like what size injectors would be best with this guy i have an hx40 was looking at doing this turbo too

 

i've heard that they are good to about 500hp.

 

sounds cool if i find one cheap in the future ill get one and mess around with one. i wouldnt want it stick up that far almost to the hood.as far is the 90 bend it dont bother me looks kinda wierd with it going downward and all welded up bu if it works it works lol ..thumbs up good build!

 

I think that would be one hot 500hp, at least on a 12v like mine. Up to about what 'feels' like 325-350 RWHP on my truck, it cools awesome. Past that fueling level, I can bury the pyro and the drive pressure gauge with the vanes wide open in 3rd gear. It's still only a 60mm comp wheel after all.

 

I tucked mine in a factory-looking location:

 

I like the 90* delete pipe, pretty cool stuff.

 

i am getting a ve geared up for mine also.. so far i plugged the stock mounting holes and will be re drilling to the T3 flange soon.. then its just a matter of finding time to stick it on.. i am going to use a wastegate controller, drive pressure and an adjustable spring for the vanes..

 

Just to let everyone know, veins are things that blood flows through. Vanes are what we see in the pics at the top of this thread.

 

You're so vain!

 

haha yeah i realized after i posted the thread that i had used the wrong word and it wouldnt let me edit it..... i was just hoping noone would realize it.

 

is anyone offering a complete kit too add these to our trucks yet? I can bolt stuff on, but not much of a fabricator.
