HE351

[collegekid]

Am looking at purchasing a turbo off a 05 dodge, what turbo is this and how hard is the install?

[BILTIT]

It will be an HE351 yup. Requires changing the turbo to IC piping, adapter for the exhaust and possibly the intake.

[collegekid]

Ive read the compressor side might need to be clocked 100 degrees, and that Ill need a 3" - 2.5" IC boot, unless I just upgrade to 3" IC tubes...The turbo comes with an exhaust elbow, what about the bolting to the manifold and running the elctronics?

[BILTIT]

You can use this so you dont have to clock it. I have one but havent tried to install yet.

electronics only need 12v or you can remove solenoid and cap it,

[collegekid]

Can you tell me the purpose of this turbo having power, I dont have the turbo in front of me or else I could prolly tell, is it to control the wastegate or geometry of the vanes or what

[collegekid]

ok, after much research, the 12v power is put in place to control the wastegate and its dumping of excessuve boost back into the compressor side housing. Therefore, if I didnt hook up the solenoid, and pinched the line going to the wg, I should get a higher boost number bc no air is being pulsed back into the housing...am i on the right track

[BILTIT]

Yes, or you can use a boost elbow to restrict the air to the wastegate actuator.

Thanks Biltit, it looks like for an extra $100 or so bucks I can have a better looking, more customizable setup, Thanks for the help

[BILTIT]

Which setup are you refering to, the HE351 or something else?

[collegekid]

the HE351, with taking the solenoid out and installing the boost elbow

WHICH HE351?
HE351CW or HE351VE (VGT)?

The CW is a vacuum/pressure gated turbo, whereas the VE is electronically controlled with a servo mounted to it.
An '05 should be an HE351CW.
