And how close does it come to the hood

 

yes i could have but i would have had even sharper angles

 

Hmm I might try this myself I found a turbo for 250 might go look at it

 

Is the pic with both turbos in it just a size comparison?

 

yes 093 vs hx35w


and these turbos seem to go for about 150 all day long around here

 

the hardest part is going to be moving the fuel filter bracket to passenger fenderwell and passenger battery behind driver battery and the overflow/ windshield washer container and cruise stuff will just scoot back some. the air filter will be where the passenger battery was and it should help with room for my intercooler pipes

 

Maybe since you are moving the fuel filter, you could upgrade it. NMB2 or RacinNdrummin have a more efficient, decently priced setup on theirs...

 

I picked up a Wix filter housing, but the filters in that size are pricey. Now I'm looking for a different filter housing.

 

no their is definitely going to be alot more coming over time...i want to do a hx 40 6 blade compressor, get the cooler hooked up, alum rad with pusher puller efans, 6.0 style intake manifold, ihave to do a lil more cab work behind my pedals but there will be a set of pstroke style charge pipes to the turbo, prob 160cc pump dont know if i could support 180, and i think i am going to get an even different cam made...

 

With an Hx40 you might be able to support a 180cc ip. Do you plan on doing anything to the engine or are you gonna see how it does in stock form? That is my plan eventually.

 

MMM I was thinking HX40W Myself for my rig..My 7.3 engine build is going into a MH so I have alot of room for custom up pipes to my turbo. I'm running a NMB2 J2 cam with a new turbo cal pump turned up to about 90cc's .... I have been wondering if HX35W would be better. My engine is running into a 4 speed allison so I don't need quick spooling I need boost without High EGT's at WOT up hills and stuff. I was thinking 16cm2 housing will keep the egts down with the HX40W Im just not sure I will have enuff fuel for it.... seeing what your 35 gets for boost with your system makes me go HMM... I'm shooting for 20+ boost....What do you think...I'm mining for thoughts on my combo plans....

 

Racer, take this for what its worth, but i have a few cummins buddys that swear up and down a hx35/40 hybrid is the way to go 35 hot side, 40 cold side. sounds like thats what ging has in mind. And if i ever get to compounds, im 80% sure that is what ill end up using for the secondary.

From everything ive heard, the hx40 just spools a little on the slow side, even with a gated housing. Whereas the 35 is excellent, and can easily be tuned with multiple aftermarket turbine housings.

Only problem you would have to worry about after all of this is the shaft breaking, which is a problem for the 40 anyway, unless you go the route of a super 40, which with the turbos you can get these days.. might as well go with a S256 or S362 or something in between. But the whole idea with this thread is cost efficiency, and for what its worth, i also picked my turbo up for $150, and had less than $300 in my "custom" setup. Most of that was the oil supply line, CDR "hose" and CAI stuff.

OP---

I also relocated my battery, i moved both to the passenger side and made a box around the filter, cut a chunk out of the core support and kinda bent down the inner fender to create somewhat of a air dam effect. Going from the filter pretty much sitting on the IP to that setup the difference was amazing. Even when going slow, for instance leaving stop signs, went from a little puff of black to nothing, took noticably more go pedal to make it smoke pre-boost. Didnt see much of a boost increase but response was better. I blame my ghetto wastegate actuator for the lack of extra boost.

 

Racer the 40 or hybrid 40 seems like what you need. I would definitely go that route and use a bigger turbine housing.

Also what is the difference in size between an Hx35 and Hx40? The Hx35 is 57mm correct? I just wonder if they would be to close in size for compounds...

 

you can get up to a 62mm inducer wheel for the hx35 and then just combine that witha 16cm exh housing and this should be a plenty fair turbo witha 60mm wheel it flows what the he351cw flows the 40 is ok but you will get about the same amount of end flow as the 60mm hx35 but you will get there quicker. the 62 with a 14cm housing is almost at 1:1 with the cummins guys so with the 16cm housing i should see some fair ratios

 

Thats what i was thinking exactly, 14 or 16 housing with a 60 cold wheel.
