That turbo is way too big for your HP goals IMO. The HX35 has much better street manners and will make over 500 wheel all day long. Cool project, and good luck with the build. Is O-ringing the motor really needed for 350 wheel?
That's what I told him. But he's hard headed. He's running the HX40. Lol

I run an HX35 on a 2.5 liter motor and it's a good match. I would also likely run the same size turbo on a 2.7 liter motor as long as my HP goals were similar. You are giving up good street manners and ultimately power by going too large. Can you sell the HX40 and buy something smaller? I am not trying to be a dick and rain on your parade, I am genuinely trying to help. I have a lot of turbo car experience. Lowering the RPMs for full boost by even 400 really makes a big difference. I had a t3/t04e before the HX and it spooled slower, my car is so much more fun to drive with the HX on it.

Indeed,
MS note, ms3x is a bit too big for a stock ecu case, and no its not a 55. I think I will just end up having to cut off the ecu plug and splice away.

Thanks man I appreciate it. Well if I didn't have to pay anything extra I would trade for a hx35 anyday, but I just found a deal I couldn't resist. Maybe some day I will try to get some cummins nut to trade me. Know anyone who wants a hx40? Im totally down for trades, but I couldn't find a hx35 in the first place, so I went with this.

Hmm, think the m50 would spool it quick enough? I really want a 35 though...

I would like 400 at the wheels for sure, which from.what I was reading is about all the 35 will do efficiently.
Probably going to use the blunttech/goodntight manifold, assuming your talking about the exhaut.

Awesome dude, you will be very happy with the HX35 if you can get a hold of one.
I'll get back to you on the HX35 potential. I can tell you they'll make 500 wheel all day long as long as you're ready to run large boost numbers. There have been reports of boost creep with some cars trying to run "low boost" on the internal gate. I run an external gate, so I am just going by what I have heard. I have a 28psi spring in my wastegate on my 240sx. Yes, it's an E85 car. My advice would be to leave a place/space where you can add an external gate in the future if needed.

Might have traded for a hx35 today. Also, sold my wheels so now I have 800$ to spend. Buying a wideband for 100, need to get some studs, that's another 230+ 50 for gasket. Leaves me with about 400 for a cheap eBay clutch and some machining haha.
What wheels were they?
