hey guys just thought i would do a lil write up on my hx35 install it is very hoakie at the moment so be warned!!!haha
i started off buy building a lift bracket for the oil drain on my 093...
all that had to be done there was a piece of flat stock a 17mm junk socket a couple washers and the o ring off the oil drain
the oil drain only has to be raised to clear the compressor housing from the injector lines and it only has to go up just above factory mounts..i set mine to where my nuts sat on top of the original tabs on the manifold
first you take your 17mm socket and cut it in half (you dont need the extra poking completely thru the cdr hole just enough to fill it) and center it in your piece of flat stock (which should just be tab to tab width) and do a plug weld on it then i took a fender washer a lil bigger than the 17mm and stuck it on the socket and welded it from the inside by the socket in the gap i had from getting it larger and a few tacks around the outside then your washer that is perfect around the socket and full weld around the outside of it to the face of the bigger washer than your o ring fits good around socket and has perfect face to seal against
the spot on the oil drain that used to hold the o ring has to be cut almost completely off in order to remain in a straight line with the oil drain in the bottom of the valley pan. on the bottom of the oil drain i ground off the sealing lip to make the end hold a hose and hose end fits tight inside oil drain grommet in the pan.
next was the up pipe which was generally easy as it was only a very short distance to change up and actually helped give it a straighter shot in.
no i dont have a bender so yes everything has to be in a thousand pieces haha
the intake hat sealing flange is made out of the bottom flange of an n/a idi air filter assembly...it has a rubber oringish thing that sits inside the bottom that i removed and filled up with high temp jb weld and set on a piece of paper on my counter to make a nice sealing edge i then found a cooking pan about the right size of 5 1/8 had to do some cutting to trim up but then welded that to the intake flange and just a upside down nut for a sealing flange on top...i started off with a 3" 35 degree bend which i cut out and welded in the corner and was going to be for my intercooler hat but temporarily changed it up as i dont have enough 3" mandrel
and as for the oil feed the holset has a metric thread fitting for the oil feed and an oring on the other side..so i picked out the o ring and the fitting from the 093 almost fits in the oring slot just a slight drill to the center and it sits right in the oring hole and i welded it up
but that is really all it took to get it on her...i dont have the air filter assembly done yet it will go in passenger battery tray and fuel filter will go on the box in front of the blower motor but as of right now driving like i have an eggshell under my foot i seeboost starting just after 1100 i have about 2-3 at 1500 and 6 cruising at 70 @ 2000rpm if im at 1500and just hit it i can see 12 almost right away and hit 18-19 by 2000 but im fueled out cause i dont build anymore than that and i have the wastegate welded shut. so intercooler and fuel and she will be set
