you need atleast 440cc injectors and a safc2,your manifold will need to be braced or it will crack from the weight of this turbo, a Fuel pressure regulator will also help a ton. You also need to disconnect the internal wastegate and get the big hole plugged and weld in the smaller hole. I am in the middle of this process aslo you can look up my thread HX35 doin it right. i think that is how i titled it, you probably even want larger injectors but you would have to have the FPR to keep it from sputtering and what not. fuel pressure is good

Since you have that huge Tial wastegate, you can regulate boost to 9-10 psi.
The HX35 won't max the injectors at that pressure level.
Don't turn it up any more then that until the injectors and ECU tune come into play.
There was a time in the tuning world were the HKS VPC was the King. It turned the MAF voltage into a Speed density conversion.
Many cars made good horsepower on the VPC even though its the most horrible conflict of signals ever.
The point is, Standalones are not necessary until you are quite serious in the horsepower numbers.
The power you make with a junkyard HX35, and a simple controller like an AFC or FIC, will more then test your traction, brakes, bushings, with hard driving ect..
Simple, clean. You are on your way!
Cliff notes:
Slap that 44mm Wastegate on there, tell the HX35 it's not going up more then 9psi, and have a blast with what you got already!
Oh and most manifolds minus the boostlogic, full-race are chinese. So it doesn't matter.
Over time quality has gotten better, you don't have to worry about pieces of the imported manifold flying off.
If its a T4 manifold, just bolt up a t3-t4 adapter. You got the hard part out of the way.

regardless i might get some 440cc or 550cc, and the aem uego for now if the price is right.
update: ordered a 1jzgte single turbo manifold from driftmotion.com will post pics when it arrives

All the wideband does is show you AFR, you will need that regardless.
Haltech is not PNP it will require some wiring, and some of the haltech don't use the factory sensors but it a good unit if you know someone that can tune it.
You are in FL it shouldn't be any problem trying to find Haltech Tuner.
What kind of power are you looking for? what size injectors are you running? i will not install a single Turbo on stock 370cc injectors not safe if you ask me.

why does everyone say brace the manifold? the chinese manifolds for the 2j dont break like the chinese honda ones.
the chinese made manifolds for 1j's and 2j's work very well. i have an obx one from ebay thats been on my car for over 2 years now with no bracing holding up a 70mm turbo.
you can just get a t4 manifold and get a t4 to t3 adapter. itll sit the turbo a little higher but you should still be alright

It's not Honda or Toyota manifolds that were the problem.
It's the 14-16ga pipe they used, on top of shoddy fitting, and crap welding.
Most "Good" manifolds that you pay $1000+ for, are constructed from Schedule 10 304 stainless cast elbows. These things have almost 3mm wall thickness. All are TIG welded.
The reason that Chinese manifolds don't suck now, is because there has been enough time for these companies to increase welding efficiency, use better materials, and generally better manufacturing practices.
Which reminds me..

PS. i dont know about the quality of the manifold that you bought but you may have lucked out and got something that was welded properly and not warped.

Stuff bend breaks and cracks all the damn time. Also If you Raise the holset anymore you might as well cut a hole in the hood because mine is close just on the Regular T3 Manifold. and yes i braced it becasue drifting and roadracing puts a little more stress on it then hitting the strip and cruising town.
