hx35 VS. h1c

[Copterdoc]

I have a H1C with a 16cm housing on my truck making 27 lbs boost. I have the chance to upgrade to a hx35. What is the difference performance wise and physicaly between the two turbos? Also what is a hx35w? Thanks copterdoc

As far as stock vs stock on the turbos, not really sure.....

The "w" in HX35W means that it has a wastegated turbine housing. The later model HX35's have the wastegate acutator mounted to the compressor housing, the older style has the actuator mounted to the turbine housing. BTW, how much $$ for the HX35 that you're looking at? Which turbine housing does it have? (probably 12cm)

I understand the differences are this:

The pinwheels are slightly larger

Not sure if the shaft is bigger ?????

The tend to spool a bit faster because of the pinwheel difference

They have a better efficiency map or boost range

They were once described to me as being somewere in between the WH1C and the PDR HX35 in performance. Kind of a 1/2 step above the stock WH1C.



Remember I'm not a turbo expert so I'll gladly defer to someone else. Nascar Mark has run both on his own personal truck and could give a great comparison since he doesn't have the nickname "wildman" for nothing...

the H1C is basically the precursor to the HX35. the exhaust housings interchange.



The W's are wastegated (WH1C HX35W).



The HX35 is a little bigger on the top end flow wise at normal boost levels the difference is negelgable.

The WHIC's are a little heavier duty in construcion in general, but the HX35's sure sound sweet
