hey yall i was wondering you take on what i should do for turbo wise ... i am wondering what would be better a 35/40 hybrid or just a hx 40 turbo ?

 

they are the same thing what are your plans for the truck also i couldnt help noticing you have 5k springs in your truck

 

dont really plan on going more then 350 hp ... maybe 400 tops ... but just want to up the charger a bit cuz i know that the 12cm housing can be a bit restrictive once upgrading from what i have read and been told ... so then i could just find a stock hx40 and swap it in ? what mods would i need to do (other then the 4'' dp since i already have one )

would the hx40 be a decent upgrade for the price ... i have found a few for around 300 bucks

if you go with a tru 40 you will have to get a new downpipe, your stock turbo uses a 3.5" v-band flange and the 40 will use a 4" one, i had a tru 40 on my truck when i just had a #5 ff and it was so slow to spool, i think you need a bit a fuel to run one efficently?


just a question but wouldnt get a bigger exhaust housing be a good upgrade for an application like this? they only cost like 250 for a holset one and bolt right in, like a 14 or 16cm one? you spool would be quicker than a 40 with a 18 and your egts would be low enough

 

That power goal would be easy to hit with a set of 5x12 injectors and a Aurora 3000 turbo which is a 58mm. With the right AFC tuning that'd put you close to the high 300s/low 400s. That is quick spooling and I think for that setup you'd really like it. Yeah its a little pricey but that includes the downpipe as well. Also if you ever want to upgrade, then just add the Aurora 5000 and you got a nice compound set up.

 

ya im not lookin to spend like 1500 bucks ... was wanting like under 500 .. thats why i was wondering if upgrading from the stock 35 to like a stock 40 would be better or get a different comp housing ... eventually i would like to up to a much better turbo but for now its mostly wanting to help with egts a bit ... they arent out of control ... but want to keep them in check expecially before i get injectors

 

Upgrading to the 40 will help keep your egts down a good bit. Right before I did my pump rebuild and tore down my engine this past winter/spring I dynoed 392/974 with 4k GSK 0 Plate in stock location, tuned AFC, Marine 370s (5x12) and my hx35 but that setup pegged my pyro in a matter of seconds, it might have been a little different if I had a set of 370s that had the correct spray pattern but for $250 they were a nice boost in power

 

put a 3rd gen turbo on it

 

if he can do some minor fabbing than yes a turbo off a 04.5-07 cr would work great. HE351CW
