97 turbo swap-H2e
#64
Thanks for the reply Lukecline, I've been in Texas for the past week and did not have a chance to get on the net.
I think I'm gonna go with a h2e kit. I figure if I'm gonna spend a $1000 or so for the d66 whats another $1000 for the upgradeable h2e.
So you would gor with the 62mm /17 cm housing? I'm doing the Pulse and the tuner at the same time.

An alternate question is that for those who modified the Holset, what were the psi numbers on both the compressor *and* turbine sides.
After skimming through this thread I am not seeing any front / rear psi numbers. Anybody still around with a modified Holset and have a pair of psi readings to share?
Sure, getting more boost and CFM on the compressor side is nice and all, but if the turbine psi runs noticeably higher than the compressor side, this looks like wasted power by way of heat to me.
With Hypermax claiming a 1:1 ratio of compressor to turbine sides, this seems like a thing I'd not want to modify unless I could get the compressor side higher than the turbine.

For rebuild parts, contact James Barder @ Barder Turbo Service. He doesn't build custom turbos anymore, but I believe he still sells parts. He will have everything you need..
As far as modified H2E's, if I'm not mistaken Beans diesel was offering modified versions. No idea if they still do.
I have an H2E with a 19cm housing on it that I'd sell. Literally like 1000 miles on it. I just didn't like how it spooled. $400 plus the ride.

Wish I could help on the H2E question, but i'm running an 19cm HX50 in my setup. If i remember right, there were only a handful of guys running the H2E back then let alone modded.
Unfortunately, I haven't followed things in several years and have only recently pulled my 97' out of the shed as it's pretty much sat the last 10 years.
