Billet HX52?

Now there's an idea! Any idea on the price or where to get holsets?

[Pushit2.0]

I have a gt 4202 standard bearing 2l build that makes good power. Last year at 44psi on e98 my car made 947awhp at DB in shoot out mode.

I will buy a billet 67 or Borg Warner version of the 4202 when this turbo lets the ghost out, so far 3 years at 40psi+ but I know my days are numbered.

Call up MAP for a good price when you make a choice on turbo brand and size.

If you are interested in holsets I would check diesel sites. Or get a used one, the rebuild kits are like $40.

I have a rebuild kit I need to get rid of.

Ok sounds good ill call map and see what they have to say too. Sounds like I might as well stick with the 4294 for now since there is a good chunk left in it

Ok ill search around see what I can come up with. Thanks

Well, just because the 4294 can do 850 on some cars doesn't mean your car will ever get to that. Turbo size alone does not determine power output, look at Vassils car and the power it made at not even that crazy of boost levels, most people won't even get close to touching those numbers with the same turbo, but he has his combo working extremely well.

Oh I know just because something is capable of something or a setup should produce a certain power doesn't mean it will. It made good power before and sticking with the 4294 is looking to be the most cost effective way to get the car back on the road unless I find a killer deal on something. There are some minor changes like different injectors and porting and polishing of the head. So hopefully we can at least get it back to where it was before and then go from there.

Might be a hair smaller than what you're looking for, but someone is selling a brand new S364 (I've never heard of this size before) for dirt cheap. Figured worth mentioning though.

The 63mm is rated around 75lb/min, and the 66mm is rated around 82lb/min. So this would probably be somewhere around 77lb/min, but again never heard of a 64mm comp wheel BW before.

Also here is the 66mm's for cheap in case anyone else is interested. They also offer in house designed billet compressor wheel "upgrades" as well.

If you want cheap and still make good power then a billet HX52 with a 16cm turbine housing isn't a bad turbo, if you are looking for something with a little better spool time and as good or better flow and are willing to spend the money I would go with a PTE 6466, that is a very good turbo but they only offer it in dual BB no a cheaper journal bearing option, there is also a GT4288 off a diesel on craigslist for $200, idk what you could use to fix yours or whatever but here is the link http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/csw/pts/3317543854.html
