HE351 swap onto my 12 valve

cutting housings isn't a simple little operation. most machine shops are going to ding you a fair amount to do it right :o
 
the CR guys are making low-mid 500s with em so i dont see why a 12V couldnt make upper 400s with the right tuning.
 
The HE351 is actually a 60/58/9.
The body of my HE351, HE341, and HX35 all appear identical, which leads me to believe the shafts are the same size. It also makes me wonder what it would take to get the 12 cm exhaust housing off of my HX and make it work on my 351.......

I wonder if a he351 intake wheel fit on my he:poke:341?
 
well he exhaust housings are held on with a v band and not bolts so that would be a problem. I wonder if bullseye power would make a custom larger housing for the he351?
 
I'm sure they'll make you a custom housing... just ship them your turbo and hand over $1,000 or so, and you'll be in business!
 
would it be worth sacrificing the true 4" exhaust outlet?

This is a custom project so far, might as well keep the course. Its just speculation right now anyway.

Not quite in my price range.
 
Does the oil drain have to be modded for the HE351?

Also, will an HX40 downpipe work, or do you have to buy a 3rd gen downpipe and mod it?

I thought about doing this on my truck. Only because i like to pull every now and then, and the way the work stock rules are, puts me in the 2.6 class around here with my 58/65/16 HX40 :doh:. Im perfectly happy with my HX40 other than that though. I like the 16cm exhaust housing and 4 inch outlet. Seems to breathe pretty well on top compared to my 16cm HX35 housing did.

The HE351 would let me pull work stock. Im not a fan of the 9cm housing and all the intercooler replumbing that has to be done to run one though.

Oil drain is the same. Hx40 downpipe will not work, the flanges are different. You can use the hx40 downpipe and machine a new flange or cut the 3rd gen cast elbow and weld the downpipe to that. Intercooler plumbing is easy, pretty much 2 90 degree elbows.
