Turbo and 1.9 Ideas?

[Chestrockwell]

First idea I'm considering: has anyone balanced a 1.9 bottom end? How does it do?
Also have a Holset H1C (from a 89 to 93 Cummins pickup) here; has anyone got one on a 1.9 vw motor? Think it would work? Other than the extra huge water jacket on the turbine housing it would fit. And yes I'd build a different manifold or adapter.... Just a couple thoughts.

Peace.
Chester.

I always balance the bottom ends, be it a 1.6 or the 1.9's. I am not familiar with the H1C, do you have any specs for it?

The H1C is the older version of the Hx-35, however it has a HUGE exhaust side like 22cm or somthing absoultly redicouls and no waste gate. It also has older style bearings if my memory serves correctly. If you could find an hy-35 hotside for cheap it might swap on and be somewhat viable, but over all I think that it is just not the right turbo. If you are going all out race motor and don't mind a fair amount of lag then a single hy35 would be okay, if not look for an hx-30 or a garrett GT-25R, both would make better singles for street driven cars. If you are going twins you should be able to size turbo's well enough to know what to use... :wink:

Or be prepared to spend the $$$$ to have some one who know's how to size them, do it for you.

Ok, well here's another one that's come up for cheap. T3/T4 T3 center section, T3 .48 A/R hotside, T4 A/R .60 coolside. Anyone think this would ever get up to speed on a 1.9TD? Also, I've heard that the holset turbos use heavy shaft and turbine wheel (slow spoolage?).

Cheers,
Chester.

I think you'd push that turbo past it's surge limit.

I know that the k24 is a great upgrade but what about a k26 from early 80s mercedes 300 td? I guess too big but maybe someone's tried this???
Thanks again for help guys.
