i will not be anywhere close to that power range. and no dyno runs for me either its just a driver. will any hx40 turbo work like one off a car, as long as its a t3 flange, or do i have to make sure it from a truck. are they all the same?

and also what about a he351 ive heard alot of good about those. whats th eplus and minus with putting one of those in a 1st gen. im moving a good amount of fuel and my turbo now just cant keep up

 

there is nothing wrong with an hx40 great turbo a 14cm housing is good i would at least try and find a 62mm compressor whell imo for your truck

 

Excelent point. Yes an HX40's weakpoint is the shaft, and I hear a lot of crap talked about that, but really?? Before the s300 became popular, HX40 was the turbo to have. For what you need out of a turbo, the Hx40 will do fine. You are pushing plenty of fuel to make that baby spool, and I have a hard time imagining you blowing up it up. As long as it is a T3 turbo, it will bolt on. Ricer guys take their turbos off our trucks and use them all the time.

 

The least expensive route to take is to find a local or close scrap yard that has big trucks. Then find a Ford L8000 series truck with a cummins 8.3L. That will have the hx40 you are looking for. Also find a vehicle with a c7 cat engine and that will have the s300 you could have! Thats how i got my s300. Had to fab a downpipe but i'm very happy with it. Much better than a holset IMO. Either way, thats the best way to get a turbo.

 

well i found a fresh genuine holset (not ebay emusa) hx40 locally for 280 bucks so i bought it. its 3 hours away so hes just shipping it to me i should see it on friday. its got a 16cm housing so thats cool because i tow as well and it also has a 4" v band so downpipe should be easy. hopefully itll still spool with all the fuel im pushin

 

good luck gotta tell us how it works out

 

will do. if anyone has a spare hx40 downpipe layin around let me know

anyone know if a hx40 is the same length, shorter, or longer than an h1c? judging by the pics they look about the same length. anyone know?

 

i have n hx35w with a 14cm wastegated housin and there longer than the h1c buy an 1 1/4"

 

thats going to kill me for firewall space. i tried winning a bid on ebay for a cobra head 4" flange that dropped straight down for the donwpipe so i can have room. anyone know where to get those?

 

i think source automotive has flanges..... don't know if any drop straight down tho
