Holset HX35 Install info on om603
(Originally this post for for an HY35 install, but as you read you will see why I changed to using an HX35)
I am planning on installing my HY35 and W140 Euro Manifold onto my stock 1987 300TDT. I would like to install this and get some numbers; at least do some runs of my iPhone's "Dynolicious" program which has accurately assessed my car at 145HP and clocks my 0-60. Better than nothing! Then I would like to add a 3" straight pipe and run numbers again. All of which will be documented on this site.
This is my first time doing something like this. I will be doing it at a friends shop most likely and he knows quite a bit about turbos and is a good mechanic. I also have access to a Fab shop and people that can weld, cut, plasma table, shear, brake, etc.
Parts list (feel free to add):
- Gasket for Exhaust Manifold to Head
- Gasket for Turbo to Manifold
- Bolts and Nuts for Manifold and Turbo (Do I need these?)
Questions:
- Since the Euro manifold put the Turbo on top, will I need to re-clock the turbo for ports to aim proper direction?
- How will I need to accommodate for an oil line? My guess is the the stock ones will not line up.
- What is the best way to connect the 4" downpipe to my existing exhaust?
- On the intake size, where can I find the tubing I need to go from Air Filter to Intake Port?
- Eventually I will put in an Intercooler, but in the meantime, how do I get the Crossover pipe to connect to HY35?
