hey when the bearings in my turbo started getting slop, i called a shop and they said they could rebuild my turbo and make it a hybrid for like 600 i think it was
i belive it was from lowbudgetdiesel.com

 

That's about 300 more than my life is worth right now. For now I want to try that hx40, then I'll rebuild the 35 and sell it. But I need to know everything about this 40 for now so I can order tomorrow anf have installed by the weekend.
Will my stock dp not fir for sure?

 

i was always told that the hx40 took diff down pipe, the top one might work for you tho,
but im not 100% sure hopefully someone that knows more about aftermarket turbos will chime in and give you a more definent answer.

good luck

 

You mean the top turbo I posted? Because that's the one I've seen rave reviews on. I appreciate your input bigtime though thanks man

 

an hx40 uses a different downpipe. i liked the hx40 it took a little more time to spool but once it did it sure pulled good.

 

did you buy the ebay one? Where can you find a dp for an hx 40? Did your t3 flange hx40 bolt directly to the truck?

 

dont buy the ebay turbo those are absolute garbage. it may be cheap now but it can end up costing you thousands in repair costs when it grenades.

just because its a t3 flange doesnt mean itll work 100%. will it bolt right up to the exhaust manifold, yes, but thats not all thats needed. a new downpipe is 100% REQUIRED its not an adapter or anything thatll make it work. the hx40 is larger (longer), thus moving the downpipe. and not to mention its a 4" downpipe which your 35 doesnt use. and you will have to purchase an hx40 band clamp seperately with your downpipe.

also your oil drain will not clear the wastegate actuator IIRC.

so all in all, if you have 300 dollars to spend, put a replacement 35 on it and go by the weekend. thats a piece of crap hx40, waste of money, plus add another 150 for downpipe and clamp (thats a good deal for those too) and your almost 500 dollars in on a piece of junk turbo.

not to mention with the mods your running, youll struggle to spool an hx40 IMO.

get a factory replacement until you have money for a QUALITY turbo. you get what you pay for

 

I'm literally seeing hx35 turbos going for as much or MORE than the hx40. I'm not buying the 40 for LONG term so to speak, but I've read they are good for a 30-40hp boost over stock turbo and I've read on other diesel forums that people have gone 80k miles towing and racing and they still have zero shaft play in their ebay hx40's. The new ebay hx40 comes with it's own wg.. so how would the oil drain not clear?

As far as spooling the 40, with my 215 pump and #100 fuel plate, my afc and starwheel tuned, I'm pretty certain I wont have an issue spooling.

As far as the DP, I can run DP-less for a week or so right? Just long enough to make the trip and come back?

Not being an *** here fyi, just freaking out and NEED this thing fixed in the next 4-5 days :kills myself:

Is our stock hx35 a t3T3 Divided Entry Exhaust Inlet or undivided?

 

if your talking about running your stock downpipe for a week or so, no it wont work its a compeltely different downpipe it wont work. period.

it is divided.

i dont want to be an *** at all either, but come on man just listen. i just gave you 5 different reasons why it is a stupid purchase. as well as other people have said not to buy them as well. especially if your only running it temporarily. why spend 500 dollars on a junk temporary setup that you wont even be able to resell because you have a junk chinese knock off. spend 300-350 bucks on an hx35 that you can resell later and make your money back and be done with it.

also, as for how does the wastegate not clear the oil drain. just because it comes with its own wastegate that has nothing at all to do with how your factory pipe bends. they are a different bend and will hit. ask me how i know

 

the one i bought was on ebay but it was a holset. $550 with downpipe. running with no downpipe for 12 hrs is not even an option. i drove mine from our shop to the house and it choked me out. maybe 12 blocks away
