My 325 Turbo with HX30 and BBS

[toj]

Hey guys I have had this one for about three years now

It has a holset hx30 turbo right now but I had the hx35 before but wanted to see how the hx30 did.

I dismantled and refurbished the RSs myself last winter, its a job I can not reccomend :crazy:

looks real good outside.. lets see that engine bay! What management are you running and whats she puting out hp/tq wise?

Thats with the HX35



From Hx30 change, bolts right up ;)

I am running VEMS standalone and .5-.6 bar but I have no idea of power output because we really have no well working dyno here in Iceland...:(

Very nice car. Specs of the wheels and more pictures please.

:up:

They are BBS RS 001 15x9 and 15x8. The centers were sandblasted and powdercoated with a custom color. I dont reccomend powdercoating unless you tape upp perfectly all the sides that touches the lip dish, very hard to to I believe. I also spent ALOT of time on the lips, first with sanding and then polishing product and machine

Gotta love´em :D

you could get one of those do it your self in car dynos. i know that they have a bad reputation but at least it will give you some sort of idea of how much power your car has. here is a link to a g-tech set up. if you or a friend has an iphone by apple you can also get software for that because the iphones have a built in accelerometer, and the iphone set up is suppose to work better then the g-tech.

You guys in them cold places with hot cars. Now we know why the ice caps are melting.........J/K.

That is a really clean setup you have. How much HP were you dropping to the wheels before the turbo change?

[alpinaclone]

Which turbo do you prefer, the hx30 or 35? I'm trying to get ideas for my next set up.

When dos the hx30 start to spool?

That is more what I meant to ask. Comparing the two turbo's how are the powerbands "shaped"?
