Turbo off a 99 Cummins
 

My buddy got a new turbo and everthing for his 98 or 99 Cummins, he said that he thinks the turbo is a 40 and has the exhuast housing an what not still all hooked up. Would it work on my 93 1stgen?

His is a 24V, I think he said one of his other buddies with a 12v older motor like mine, he said his buddy used it for alittle while but he took it back cause he didn't want his buddy to blow the turbo up just testing it out.

If you want to install a factory turbo on your 1st gen, do a HE351 off of a 3rd gen..

well i've been looking into a 62/65/12 turbo but my buddy just upgraded his off his 24V and his has been rebuilt an what not, so I was just wandering if it was worth it or not.

is it the stock turbo? if so its only a 35, not a whole lot better then your stocker except it has a smaller exhaust housing.

Ya that's what I figured, he thought it said garret 40 or something on that made him think it was a 40 turbo. thanks

if its a garret its not stock, all the cummins have holsets in the, Sounds like it has been upgraded. Get EVERYTHING off it you can such as numbers. IF it has a tag on it post a pic. Get a couple pics of the turbo too! You might just luck out!

10-4 he's coming over tommrow to help take off my 36' swampers off my 75' GMC mud truck as he's buying them, so ill ask him about it and probley head over to his house and check it out.

also said he had it fully rebuilt an what not, so hopefully its an upgraded turbo. Plus he said the guy before him had put bigger injectors an what not in the truck, so it might have been un upgraded turbo.

Sounds like you might have found a good turbo!

he said it is a holest but it came out of a 5speed truck is a bigger turbo then stock, he has the paper work at his house of the rebuilt and he's going to let me know about it.

I think the 5-speeds and autos have the same turbo. Get the numbers off it.

over on 1st gen I think someone said the 5 speeds had a he135 or something like that, but he should be returning soon with the rest of my money, my jack and my clamp, so hopefully get the paper work for it.

might be... I'm not real up to date on the 24v's

if its off a 99 im pretty sure all the turbos 5 spd or auto up to 01 were HX35...in 01 i think is when they started putting the hy35's on the autos which they have a smaller exhaust housing to help with spool up...

X2 thats what I was thinking as well.

94+ Cummins had hx35 for both Autos and manuals.

01-04 Had the hy35 on the 01-02 automatics and 03-04 Standard output engine.

01-02 Five and six speeds had hx35.

03-04 Ho engines had HE341

04.5+ 5.9s all had HE351s

and the 6.7 use a HE351VGT

That is all to the best of my knowledge. But I could be wrong. It has happened before.

No Sir.. You pretty much nailed it..

it could be a hx40 though.somebody could have changed it,just cause it says holset don't mean it came on that truck.or it could be a hx35/40 hybrid.

yeah it could be a HX40
