So with the 8-blade HX-35 on the way out I got this 7-blade to replace it. I thought about upgrading to a 40 but I don't feel like trusting anyone out here with machining the turbine housing. I picked up this one from Performance Techniques and they hooked it up pretty good, $416 shipped to my door. I'm probably going to put my current compressor cover on it because it is black and already machined for a boost source and has the flange ground down to fit a 2.5" coupler. This Sat. I will install it and we will see if I can get some more top end flow out of the 7-blade compressor wheel with this tiny turbine housing. |

Nice and clean! The 7 blade is supposed to really outflow the 8 blade when it's in the stock housing. I'm sure it might pull a little better up top in the bolt on turbine. |

Had a long day yesterday mostly due to working in the sun in my apartment parking lot. I had wanted to use the black compressor cover from my old HX35 but it turned out that the compressor wheel on the 7-blade is smaller so I had to use a dremmel to grind down the lip on the silver compressor housing. I would have killed for a nice air powered die grinder with a good cutting bit. I need to do a bit of retuning and I only had a little bit of time last night but the very first pull in 2nd was promising. 40lbs/min at 22 psi. She was getting real knock happy in 3rd on 93 octane so I need to sort that out. |
