I have a stock HY-35 on my '01 and I think they put out 21 psi stock? I put on an Egde juice/attitude last fall and 21 psi is what it's putting out. A friend told me, with the edge, it should put out more. I have shortened up the waste gate rod (by accident, rod broke, another story), but same psi.
Just wondering if that is all the psi HY's put out, or do I need a boost fooler? If I get a boost fooler, is my read out on the edge going to have the 'fooled' psi reading?
Also, I can pick up a HX-35 for $500. Is it worth it or not? I just use the truck for hi-way driving and moderate towing.

 

I also have a hy-35 with a J-hook and a non wire tapped Adrrenaline, so thats only 65hp. I normally only run it up to 25psi but have set it up to 30psi. You need a J-hook or you will just get approx stock boost psi. Search "J-Hook" you will get lots of info.

 

Thanks for the reply. I thought with shortening the wastegate rod would increase it some, but upon doing your 'j-hook search', it looks like I need a lot more tension to achieve extra boost. I'll try a quick turnbuckle to lock it and see if I get more boost. If so, I'll rig up a j-hook so it's adjustabe.

 

Well, I tried shortening up the threaded rod some more, for the waste gate. Took it for a quick ride, and was up to 29 psi, and 30 psi momentarily. It's a little more than I was wanting, so I may loosen it off a couple turns. I also, finally did the wire tap, with a stealth cover. Goes pretty good now, and had 1150 EGT with the truck at WOT for quite a while. Had to let off due to the excess amount of speed. Oops. Didn't notice any smoke out back either... bonus.
Still thinking about the HX-35 as I think that will keep my EGT's down a little more when I'm towing. Am I thinking correctly, or is the extra air with HY-35 going to work fine for towing?

 

Well for one thing, nothing is gonna spool faster then the hy that's for Dang sure.
It will cool a little to about 25 lbs, after that it's just moving hot air which might actually be worse then better for egt's and in cylinder heat. I had my j hook at 28 lbs and it worked well for when I had it.
If you have the money, the hx35 is much tougher and can push a reliable 30 lbs. Did you say you have the edge juice? Cause that has a built in boost fooler. If you get an hx, just make sure it's actually holset and not an ebay knock off. Those are bad news.

 

Ps all the boost fooler does is keep not from throwing an over boost code when you boost past stock parameters.

 

Thanks DodgenIt. I'm not sure where my signature went, but yes, I have the edge juice. I think I'll cut the boost down to 25psi like you said. I really thought that's all I was going to get anyway. I was reaching 29psi, and no codes came up, so the edge must be doing the 'fooling' job.
The HX35 I may get, is off a '99 5 speed. A guy from work upgraded to a much bigger turbo. He said he used to get 35psi out of it, so if I cut it down to 30psi, I should be good. Would some 50hp sticks be beneficial with the HX35, or is the 30psi boost good enough for stock ones? I'm thinking I can up the fuel with the edge, but going high on the levels can bugger my IP? If I get slightly bigger sticks, then I can keep the edges' level down. Am I thinking in the right way, or am I in left field?

 

Yea yea your on the right track.
The 'fuel boss' in your Sig, is that a lift pump? Heard the name but don't know it for sure.
As long as you have a good lift pump and are not currently dropping below 10 lbs fuel pressure, your Ip should be just fine with some 50 hp sticks and your chip. just don't wanna drop below 8 lbs for your Ip's sake. You can also always control how much fuel your asking for with your chip and right foot.

The hx sounds like a good idea. You should be good with 50 hp sticks and your chip with your hy, but it'll run even better and cooler egt's with the flow of an hx.

 

Then Fuel Boss is a mechanical lift pump that runs off the crankshaft via a cog belt. I have it run in parallel with the factory installed in tank pump. I have a hobbs switch before the fuel filter, so if the mechanical pump loses pressure (blown belt or relief valve stuck open), the in tank kicks in below 7 psi. I carry a spare belt and relief but haven't needed to replace a thing. I've had it for about a year. Pressure runs between 16psi and 18psi. I have seen it at 14psi once, but that was a load with low rpm. Mechanical is good... more rpm, more flow/pressure. Works awesome.
The HX35 is probably be a done deal. The guy is holding it for me, just need to pick it up one day when I'm not busy.
I've looked through quite a few posts and seems the Mach 1.6 injectors might be the ones to go with. I know everyone has their preference, due to personal experiences, but these seem to hold praises all over the place. Might give them a shot. Other options?

 

Far out, something told me the fuel boss was the mechanical one. Sounds like you have a really good set up there.
The F1 series of injectors is wonderful from what I've heard. I was planning on mach 4 for a long time but I found my ddp's slightly used for a price I couldn't pass and have loved em for the last year and a half. I think the 1.6 with an hx and your chip would work very well together. Maybe a little high egt's with the chip turned up but very easy to drive around also.
