Last week i found a H1C on eBay that i was looking for when i built my turbo kit last year. To my luck not only did i find it, but the shop was located in Rockville MD. I talked with the owner of the company and he allowed me to come check it out before buying. The turbo was as described, " zero shaft play no leaks etc". He also allowed me to browse through his shop freely and was very excited to show me his latest turbos that had Zero miles on them etc.

This shop houses EVERY holset ever made (H1C,H1E,H2C,H2D,H2E,HX30,HX35,HX40,HX50,HX55,HX60,WHX80,HX82...........
SOURCE) and many OEM Garrett chargers. some are rebuilds/parts only. some are in fair to new shape. many of the BIG ones power Detroit trucks, Earth Movers, Marine equipment etc.

they are great project turbos for DIY guys/gals and cost way less then the leading brands and are the same quality and better in some aspects. many of them that you see in the pictures that can actually fit in our cars without major modification are mainly T2,T3 and T4 flanged with either 4/5 bolt and v-band turbine outlets. for the most part you can use standard feed and return oil flanges. some are threaded for use with banjo bolts. It takes minor modification ( drilling, tapping, converters etc) to make them work

below are pictures of the shop and my turbo

MY turbo

TURBOCHARGER MANUFACTURER: HOLSET #765
TURBOCHARGER PART # 3522900
TURBOCHARGER MODEL # H1C
OIL COOLED
WEIGHT: 19
EXHAUST WHEEL DIAMETER - 60mm.
COMPRESSOR WHEEL DIAMETER - 45mm.

I did the math for the trim and came up with 56 but that was just with the numbers given, i really want to measure the size of the inducer and exducer and get the proper number for both sides.

spotless, had your basic sludge from use, but no broken parts or blown seals ( most of the oil spots came from my fingers)

I've never seen so many turbos in one place before.


Although I haven't been to an MKIV Supra meet yet.

(That was a terrible joke)


Anyway that shop looks pretty awesome. I wouldn't mind visiting a "Forced Induction Wearhouse" myself.
 
We have a few places like that here, always fun shuffling through them.
 
sure thing. my car is already boosted,my first two turbos went ( 1.shaft play 2 blown seal) up on me so i located the turbo that i was suppose to have on my setup from the beginning.

ill keep you guys posted
