[DCoffey]

Im tryin to git rid of the H1C and put a hx35 on but the H1C dont want to come off? im keepin the same housing just changing the turbo. is there a trick to takin them off or am i just missin somthin?

AFter 19 years of running and heat/cool cycles, it is just plain hard to get off- mainly rusted in place. You might have better luck taking it off the manifold and working on it on a bench or in a vice. I've had them be a royal PITA, and others came off with a light tap of a hammer. Lots of PB Blaster and patience will help you out.

i had to take mine off and use alot of pb blast and let it sit on overnight and pound on it with a dead blow and it finally came off.

at some point sombody had it off cause it has a 12cm housing on it. i have used a can of pb blaser and i cant even git the thing off the manifold. its on there good. i guess ill just keep pounding on it and see what happens.

Somebody needs to nominate this to the "famous last words" list.

[mprmn08]

first i agree with Ace on the nomination!! Second are your sure all four bolts are out to take it off the manifold? i didnt have a problem gettin mine off the manifold it was seperating the houseings that gave me an issue.

its the nuts that wont come off. i dont know if he cross threaded them or what. i diddnt git very long to work on it today ill try more tomarow.

some gentle heat works wonders too

so i have been thinkin since the HX35 is already off i may as well do a compresser up grade. do you think it woud be worth it? iv been lookin at the 60 mm wheel. but shoud i go with a 6 blade or 8 blade? what have you guys done and how do you like it?

this is what i have been lookin at

I would suggest using a brass hammer. It shock mating surface and gets it off real easy. I used one on my H1C with 180k worth of "togetherness" and it came off no prob. Just a thought.

[DCoffey]

nobodys done this up grade before? haha it say you have to machine the bearing housing is this true? how much egt lose woud i see.

I put a gds 60 on my 93. Never drove it with the original one so I don't know a before and after. The kit I used did not require machining. It was for an H1C.
