[IDIBRONCO]

Good idea.

 

[Glsawyer]

anything else anyone would recommend?

 

[Sidewinded_idi]

Fabrication skills. You’ll need it for this!

 

[Glsawyer]

i have that lol. we have everything here. we can even do drive lines

Maybe brush up on your four letter words (installing a turbo isn't very easy if you've never messed with one before). Then enjoy the finished results!

Last I heard, a hx35 is only good for around 200 at the wheels on an idi, due to choking off the flow at the high end.
I'd do some research on that...

I have managed to get 250 out of a Banks turbo(with oversized IP), but with a stock IP, 220rwhp is a more practical limit.

Yep its a small turbo but not that much smaller than the factory garrett turbo.

IDI Factory Turbo:
Compressor:

Inducer- 58mm
Exducer- 70mm
A/R .70 T04B cover

Turbine:

Inducer- 64mm
Exducer- 56mm
A/R .82 T3 Housing


HX35:
98.5'-2002 HX35's are 7blade compressor 54mm x 78mm, turbine 58mm, wastegated housing.

94-98 HX35's are 8blade compressor 54mm x 83mm, turbine 58mm, wastegated housing.

Just a bit smaller but luckily theres a huge aftermarket for these turbos and an upgraded rebuild kit is very affordable. If he wants to make more power the op will be looking at more money
Thats just how it goes

i may be able to get a hx35 off a cummins.

also the manifold i got says turbo engineering

Use ebay turbos at your own risk. You get what you pay for. There is a reason that good turbos go for the price that they do.

 

[Glsawyer]

i posted a add wanting to buy a kit

I made 700hp with a mustang I build with a China turbo. They work and the quality is much better than they used to be, but if you can afford better do it.

You’ll want around a gt35 sized china turbo if you end up getting that.

I used a CX racing H1C on my 6.9idi for a while before I destroyed the seals due to being an idiot and using tiny oil feed restrictor made for a ball bearing turbo. I ended up rebuilding my stock turbo and somehow I'm still leaking from the oil drain! (Time for a hammer and a sharpened screw driver)...

I only made near 2.5-3lbs in 4th at 2800-3k rpms. Other than my screw up, I think you could make a CX racing H1C 18cm^2 work with more fuel. It sounded sooooooo good! Use a flexible Cummins oil drain into the stock location, bolt the turbo to factory up-pipe, have a 2.5"OD V band to V band 90 degree pipe made and bolt it to a Banks downpipe.

Try it, I'd love to see another CX, Holset, or S360 budget build!
