rossman Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I recently purchased a Holset Variable Geometry (VG) turbo to install on my 280zt project car. The turbo was pulled from a 2007 Dodge Cummins 3500 truck. I am wondering if anybody has had any luck getting one of these to work on a 280 or any other car (besides the original truck ). Here and here are pictures of the turbo. It looks like a HY35 but I'm not sure. I figure if it works then great, otherwise, I will resell it. One of the biggest hurdles I see is getting the VG control to work. It looks like some sort of stepper motor on a gear box. I plan to run this with MSII. IIRC MSII can control stepper motors. Anyway, I am just guessing at this point. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario_82_ZXT Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I haven't looked into it at all but I thought that they could be controlled by a duty cycle almost like a boost solenoid, and that's how some people have gotten the VG to work. A while back, I think it was Mack that posted a link to a mustang running one. Mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossman Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 Thanks for the info Mario. I searched around on the board and couldn't find much - mostly just a few other people looking for information too. A Google search got me a few hits on some Honda sights but nothing detailed yet.
