sup cl, budget single turbo build has begun.

parts ive collected so far:

hx35w bought for $366 shipped, 1st part that was collected.


next to the car that its going to in.


tial bov/ 44mm wastegate $450 used


manifold from ebay $140 shipped


Now its going to a shop for a downpipe,fuel lines, and oil lines.

ive gotten different opinions on what i should use to tune.
- aem uego wideband
- haltech
- safc
- map ecu

pesonaly idk what to get, what do guys think

Good luck with the build. From the above options, go with the aem wideband and the Haltech no doubt.

I have map ecu2 and love it but haltech is superb for fine tuning.

GTE ecu and safc2....

You think the wideband will be sufficient for now? Then later down the road get the haltech?

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.

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

isn't this turbo a t3 flanged turbine? let us know what manifold you use because i'm having a hard time finding a t3 flanged manifold at the moment.

IT is a T3 manifold. and yes thy are a little harder to find. you can always cut off a t4 and weld in a t3

As far as inj., im trying to get a hold of 440cc or 550cc, as of now the car isnt going to go over 14psi possibly 12psi.

what manifold do you guys think i should purchase? driftmotions or an ebay 1????

I have the same turbo at in spools very fast for my 4 banger.

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.
