My project progress

Holset HX50

 

new progress

 

Looks great! are you going to intercool it? and if so are you going to make a Y for the throttle body?

also whats the planned boost?

 

yes intercooler is on the way,and yes on the y pipe,boost will stay sub 15 psi,Wastegate has a 7 psi spring in it

 

Sounds good cant wait to see a video of it....

one last question...are you going to use a muffler on it?

 

yes,but dont know what or how the exhaust will run under the car yet.Such a large pipe is going to be difficult to package and keep good ground clearance.the plan is to at least get it so i can test run it friday pending all my parts arrive

 

new pics apart for final assembly

 

looking good. is that the egr pipe in pic 1?

 

I think that's the turbo's oil return line to the oil pan?

 

you are right,I changed my mind on the return

 

skeet skeet

 

few new pics slowly going together now, + intercooler mounting mock up

 

Nice progress!

i was gonna ask about the intercooler the other day....

i thought you would have gone with a same side inlet/outlet. seems like that would give a straighter shot to the throttle body. But those are also more cumbersome at least the ones i've seen, and there's not a lot of room in that maverick engine bay.

 

EDIT: unless you use the passenger side as the inlet and the driver side as the outlet.

 

no room for 2 pipes on one side, should be intresting for sure
