hx35 on my IDI questions and Project "Mechanical Monster" Update.
As the title of the thread entails I've found an hx35 off a 97 Cummins for $350. Sounds like a pretty sharp deal and considering its a mechanical turbo I wouldn't have to worry about Jerry-riggin' up a Vgt to it. Just wondering if anyone had any helpful advice or any links to builds if it's been done before.
As for the motor. The cleaning and degreasing is FINALLY done. I'm currently working on cleaning the heads and going to take them to the local shop within the next week. The short block is reassembled and all i'm waiting on is the cam. Mailed it last week and they said it should be today when Mr. nmb2 recieves it, hopefully. as well as the IP and Injectors which I sent to DPS the same day. Other than the turbo the build is going pretty smooth and quickly considering I only get 1-2 days a week to work on it. Hopefully within the next 1-2 months the ole girl will be purrin' a lil quicker than the OBS PSD's. Pics from my Facebook Album link:

The pics suck, and i wouldnt call it a "professional build" but it only cost me around $280 for everything and its on there and works until i get my other engine built. As far as performance, i love it, even with a stock pump i notice alot more power even though im out of smoke at only 6lbs of boost, give or take 1600 rpms in 4th/5th @ WOT i want to know how it performs with your setup, mine really starts to spool around 2200 and i have to let out of it even being out of fuel one thing to watch if youre not studded im not sure the stock wastegate is up to the challenge. With a short ram intake and a cone filter the compressor whistle will drive you up the wall so be prepared for a little insulating.

Has anyone tried a t4 flanged hx40?
i have a brand new one sitting on the shelf and really considering doing some custom to get it on my truck. only downfall is i know the WG on mine is either at 18 or 25psi, as it came off of a 12 liter case tractor.
i know my hot side size is 17cm2.
my brother has a hx40 oh his cummins with a 16cm t3 hot side and spools decently so i was thinking with the increased displacement the 17cm hot side should work.
sorry to thread jack just thinking out loud.

NMB2's pipes are alot different than how mine are, his are styled like a powerstroke, each bank to each scroll in the housing, mine is more like the banks kits, i used the factory Y pipe and just went up to the turbo. His setup is alot better than mine all around, mine was alot easier lol.

Another question for ya, I will probably add water meth after I get my built motor swapped in but just so I can start lookin, where did you get yours at?? The one in DieselPower used on the 6.9 they were doing was made by Snow, but it was 1k and change.

I figured. Just from a quick scan of the first couple pages I thought it just sounded like it. I am hoping to be able to use my Manifolds and crossover off my 7.3T and just run a pipe to connect the turbo and Manifolds. Like the stock setup just custom fit for the hx35.
