HY/HX swap

[JOHNFAK]

Paint is fir making the comp wheel when it's balanced btw. 

 

Like Tyler said ..... as long as no in/out play and not touching comp wheel housing ... good to go.

Ahh yes balancing, that's what I meant lol, thanks!

Since I'm swapping the HX in place of the HY do I also need to swap the oil feed line and drain line or will they match up?

[Cowboy]

They matched up for me.

Also, I just noticed on the tag that I have a HX35W and from my research I've done and the obvious, it just means the turbos waste-gated. I assume that this won't be an issue swapping since the HY is wasted-gated also and will/should already have things accommodated for the waste gate to be in there?

 

[Cowboy]

The wastegate is self contained, so you shouldn't have any issues with the swap.

[notlimah]

Ok, and can I still run a boost elbow so I can maximize my boost?

[Cowboy]

You bet.

[notlimah]

Awesome!

 

I got a pair of gaskets for the exhaust manifold and oil return ordered today. Boost elbow should be here by the end of the week. Hoping to get it swapped soon. I'm also going to finally install my egt probe while the turbos off too. 

 

Ive read most people seem to see 100-200* lower egt temps after installing the HX. Does that sound about right? Is it really moving that much more air?

[Cowboy]

Most people that swap to a HX also increase the boost.  If you were to run both turbos at the same pressure I don't think there would be that large of a difference, though I've been wrong before.

 

Despite popular belief, the HY exhaust flows better.

You mean increase boost with a boost fooler or elbow? Or bigger injectors n things?

 

I plan on bigger injectors and a quad after I get my trans upgraded
