Spare parts single 318 turbo build

well, if you find a set of 273 STD rings in 3.625" ...toss them my way!
Holset HX35W
56.60 mm; Exducer:74.71 mm; Trim 54.8 and I got the 14cm3 so whatever that changes. Supposedly a 450HP potential on a 5.0. The other turbo I have is even smaller with no wastegate so that gonna get saved for the slants Supra CT26 upgrade if needed.

Never thought a hx35 would make that kind of power on a gasser. I have a small collection of them from 5.9 Cummins and they are the first to go as they are already undersized on a diesel engine that only spins up to 3200 rpms. I bet we don't have rings for a 273 bore. I don't ever remember building one.

My vote is head gasket between 12-14 psi. Several of us have tested this theory.

Block deck and head surface were finished for mls gaskets. Thinking of doing the .027 cometic gaskets. Not too excited about the $80 price for one gasket tho.
