I have the stock garret modified for 60 trim. I need to upgrade as I have nowhere near the air I need.
Talked to the same shop known for doing the 60 trim mod, and we are considering taking same turbo further. Throw a different compressor housing on it and doing a super 70 compressor wheel. Says boost could likely be safe at 30psi. I will admit I am not to well versed in these things.
Hot side would be the same so spool would be good I think. I'll have to check measurements to make sure housing will still clear intake manifold.
What do you think?

Leaving the hot side would cause issues with back pressure at higher RPMs. I would recommend the HY35 route.

Hmmm... Don't want floating valves right. What if I said I never attempt to turn 5k rpms?
Also I've read hx30 is good? No hx35 though.

Well Hy35's and HX30's can be found for cheap. Makes more sense then messing with your current turbo as it's turbine is really old technology.

rumor has it that if you bu a chinnese clone, then have a turbo shop balance it, it will last a good while.
I want to say I've heard of real hx30s going for like 200ish from dodge guys upgrading

larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?

02-07-2014, 09:41 AM #10I was looking at that same one this morning :-). The only thing I worry about and maybe wrongly so is how they rebuilt it. Maybe they didn't put a 360 degree thrust bearing in it? Maybe that is an easy swap? Would there be a need to rebalance if I swap that? Is a 360 bearing even necessary?

I'd look for a charger with about a 50mm inducer. Any bigger it will be pretty laggy, in my opinion. Borg Warner has the best flowing compressor wheel, because they have the extended top technology
'82 300D -3" straight pipe, ALDA deleted, 3in1 glowshift gauge, HX30, egr-less manifold, A/W intercooler
'14 Ram 6.7l cummins -G56 handshaker, wishing it was deleted
Borg Warner charger would be sweet. One in between a hx30 and hx35 would make for decent spool and power. Or maybe the "super" hx30?

I wouldn't go to crazy in the worry department. This turbo will be operating in it's "normal" range while making a lot of power ( for a 617 ).

I read hx30 spools faster?
I like the forward facing compressor outlet on the Hy35 but how do you clock the housing when the wastegate actuator fitting (whatever its called, where the actuator mounts) is cast into the compressor housing?

No doubt the hx30 spools quicker.
I'm personally still on a oem K26 turbo for now. Planning on doing a modded IP, hy35, W115 intake manifold, egt gauge, a/a intercooler, mechanical fan delete, and maybe a little shot of nitrous to spool the turbo quicker. Currently tackling the IP though... baby steps
Here's a 9cm hy35 on a 617..

02-08-2014, 06:23 AM #16HY35s are a dime a dozen. I have about 300 HP with the Quadzilla on 7 with my 2001 Dodge Cummins. 239,000 miles on he origional turbo & still sings away. Same rebuild kit as the HX35. Most Dodge guys will probably give it to you, because it has no real performance value in our world.
