Good to see things moving along. Question about your budget, those x's in your build tally are zero-cost, or unknown? Good luck with the charge piping, sounds like you've got some fun times ahead...

Thanks dude. We finally got some snow this morning so I was excited to go play. Woke up and saw snow on the sky light, threw on some sweat pants and had some fun playing in some empty parking lots. Then I took the family sledding, had school work to do, and class (grad school). Needless to say nothing is getting done this weekend. Hopefully I'll have time this week but things are pretty hectic right now. I'm so close at this point, but need a couple days off to take care of more important things.

If you were really that low in the seat you never would have survived your first week of driving in NJ. (without 8-10 phone books underneath your ass)

I still need to get real hangers made. I'm using some very sturdy bailing wire to help support the weight of the turbo and it's fine for now.
I also need to get a v band down pipe made. I'll leave it open for now.
I was so nervous when I started it up. Is the oil scavenging system going to work? Is the used turbo going to puke oil out of it's seals? Am I going to burn this thing down driving down the street?
The first thing I did was to make sure the scavenge system worked. I put the oil return in a bucket to get out any nasty particulates sitting in the turbo/oil lines and let it discharge a little. Worked just fine.
Meanwhile, I was looking over my fittings for oil leaks. No problems until...
I saw some gross looking oil dripping from the turbo. I figured the oil was just collecting until the scavenge pump was able to build pressure to return it. I let it run for a little and then took it for a quick drive. No smoke from the turbo, and no leaks when I got back. I let the scavenge pump run with the truck's motor off for a couple of minutes so that oil wouldn't pool in the turbo.
I am very happy so far. I'm surprised at the sound of the turbo. It has such a weird pitch compared to my 1.8T and 4G63. Of course much of this is because there is no exhaust and the turbo is much larger, but I still find the scream of the turbo to sound odd.

looks like your center section needs to be rotated a bit. i think theres a spec on the º of variation but the turbo utilizes gravity in there and should have the feed higher than the drain.
Sounds like its spoolin pretty good!

I run no restrictor to my hx35, but use a -3an line which ive heard helps.
I'd look into spinning that center section before you drive it much more.

*edit*
nevermind... I'm retarded. it's dumping to atmosphere, and is plumbed way-ahead of the turbo.
...as you were.

Holset's instructions say not to try to rotate the housings. They also say the oil return should be no less than 30 degrees from horizontal so you may be right. What size is your return line?
i run a -10 gravity feed back to the pan. no pump.

have you looked into a rebuild? the nice thing about journal bearing Holsets is that rebuild kits with fresh seals are usually easily attained and done!

the 'seal' definitely blew because of the angle of the cartridge.

Haven't checked in on this thread in a while, a lot's happened! Good show man, way to git'r done. Sorry to hear about the turbo, but I imagine you'll have her fixed in no time.

Well that sucks. Not to Monday-morning-QB this thing, but... you may not want to run the next turbo with no load on the compressor side again. It's entirely possible (in my mind at least) that you could have overspun the turbo. Combine the potentially high turbo RPM with the oil line plumbing and angle of install, and it's probably a formula for wiped turbo bearings.
Keep the thread updated. It's a fun project.
overspinning happens when you go from positive pressure to 0 (blowing off a charge pipe). driving with charge piping unhooked is fine as long as there is no boost being created.

A full holset rebuild comes in at less than $200 I think. I'd do that before chucking the turbo.
