Yes I call things the wrong name and yes I don't know a lot about turboing cars but this is my first. I never said I know what I am exactly what I am doing or anything of the like. **** this entire thing started of me asking about oil feeds. The main reason I am on here is to learn so if people are going to talk crap then don't say it.

As for the MAF I have seen a couple of turbo 5vz wit the MAF after the turbo.

So by all means make positive sugistions.

My new to me turbo. Holset hx35w from a dodge ram cummings diesel. The compressor wheel is broken but those are cheep. I was came across clownmeat's 4runner and decided to get working on mine. I guess im not all talk like some say...

well nanana booboo to you too....

now put the f'ing thing on there......

There is a 3/8 npt plug right next to the pressure sending unit you can use as well but it's before the oil filter if that doesn't bother you.

I did the drain back in the cap because I did a rear mount turbo and it can be handy if your scavenge pump gets crap stuck in it you can just pull the cap and visualy see if/how much oil is coming back, and it was easier than pulling the pan. If your turbo is underhood then gravity drain it to the pan.



If you run a BOV put it before the MAF or there will be complications if you don't recirculate it.

I have a slight idea where that is at.

Im not to worried about getting a clog or something in the pump. I keep a eye on my oil and make sure its clean, but you never know shi$ happens. The only thing that I wonder about with the oil cap settup. How do you twist it on and off wouldn't the return line bind?

Pull the hose off, then twist cap off.

the simplest things are always the hardest for me to comprehend for some reason.....

Don't forget to have that turbo balanced after you replace that wheel.

I was wondering about that. Do I just take it to a performance shop or something?

If they have one of these. Usually just turbo rebuilders have them, even a cheap chinese one is $6000.

I think that turbo is going to be way to big for the 5vz if you are trying to get the least amount of lag as possible. if your looking to spool around 2000 rpm than that turbo probably wont. it spools before 1000 in the diesel because the engine is twice the size pumping a lot more cfm's. The turbo we put on clownmeats is the same size as his 1.6 liter crx. Thats why it spools at 2200 with minimal load and before that in 4Lo. Im guessing you wont see boost till about 3500 maybe. but that might be what you are looking for. Look for this book its awesome and it will help you understand more about turbo's.

This is not a simple build like people may think looking at clownmeats thread. me and him have both built turboed cars and are pretty knowledgable (not bragging just telling the truth). justdont want you getting too far into the prodject and it being a little too much. But me and clownmeat are here if you need any advice.

There is a couple of shops just across the bridge to tampa fl and they specialize in turbos, they should have something, if not I will just send it somewhere. But in the mean time its still good for mock up.

I have been looking into turbos for a while. The holset keeps comming up for a popular low cost turbo. Its been being used for 4banger mustangs and ricers for a few years. Majority of my driving is done at a cruising speed. I dont need to have the horse power in the lower RPMs with the turbo spooled and 5 psi of boost. So yes upper RPM boost. In the future I want to do a compound turbo setup. The HX35W uses a t3 or t4 i thing the t4 flange. For the compound turbo the HX will become the second turbo and I will put a smaller turbo like the T3/T4 for the first turbo.

Still, ya never know till you try it.

I will look for the book I always enjoy learning something.

"Still, ya never know till you try it.

Thats true and i mean you have the turbo already, if it doesnt work out than change the flange and try a different one. The joys of building stuff yourself.

But that is a really great book.
