im running an erl cast stainless manifold with my borg warner s258 and t3 .70 housing and i have a cool inch or so from the housing to waterpipe.

Congratz Biglady on hitting 205 mph. I was wrong to doubt you. What AFR are you running? You can possibly lower the temps with a tad bit of advance if the motor can handle it or just switch fuels (which is costly as you probably need new pump and injectors). Man can't wait to see you hit 220. Please take a video of it so we can all watch the run.

Has anybody seen a 10 blade hx40 turbine? All the ones i remember seeing were all 12 blade, IIRC. I havent been able to get the exhaust housing off yet to actually measure the wheel yet. I emailed holset the numbers off my tag though. They said the exducer diameter is 64mm and the inducer is 76mm. Are these the normal measurements for the hx40 turbine?

Am i correct in assuming that less blades on the turbine will increase lag, but free up top end flow?

Here is a pic

Measure the blades. The run of the mill Holset phone rep has been proven be to rather unreliable, IMHO. The hx40 12blade turbine wheel equals the measurements they have given you. And my h1e has a 12blade turbine wheel with those same measurements.

Yes, less blades could very well lead to more flow at the sacrifice of slower spool. But the angle of the blades, spacing, and the other aerodynamic characteristics play a huge role: which is why all the holset turbine wheels out perform garrett gt counterparts in every facet in the first place. All you can do is measure and if the wheel has those dimensions you can run one of the BEP housing and tell us what this turbine wheel can do. . . That is if you want to run a BEP housing.

Either your turbine housing is much bigger than my 19cm^2 h1e housing, or that is a t3 turbine inlet.

Actually my 12blade h1e turbine wheel appears to have "looser" spacing and less angle from the shaft axis than your 10blade. Which would mean that your 10 blade wheel may spool faster and flow a little less, IF the diameters are the same. So you REALLY need to measure those diameters. If it will bolt into a BEP housing, this could be a faster spooling variant of the hx40 we can bolt on. It could flow less than the 12 blade but compliment something like the smaller hx40 8blade compressor very nicely. It would be a turbo that would flow in the PTE 6076 range while being a bolton, and spool possibly MUCH faster.

dsm-onster: Thanks for the reply. At first im going to try it in the holset housing to see how it acts like it is. Ive been soaking the housing in pb for a week now, so hopefully it will come apart this weekend. Ill have to clearance the exhaust housing to make it fit because of the header that i have, but its the 16cm T3 housing with 4" outlet. It hits the block right now, but not by much. I think there is enough meat on the housing to grind a small flat spot on the back side of the housing. The compressor is the 7 blade.

Here is a closer shot of the turbine.

Good to see someone else try a stock holset housing with the hx40. Keep us updated!

I also have a wh1c that i might try out first. Its got the 12cm housing, so it clears the block. Im not sure if the wh1c is good, so thats why i bought the hx40. How many people have suscessfully used the holset exhaust housings?

Yeah like I said before that's def not a t4 but like boosted said it can be altered by the looks of it to fit




Clerance is hella close with that compressor side 44mm vband hook up, but the great Jake has run and sold these to the big dogs so I shall run it like I stole it

Damn I love that manifold.

buy one

Well, i got the exhaust housing off my hx40. Bad news. It looks like whatever this turbo was on lost a piston. The inducer got pretty beat up. Ill get a measurement of the exducer.

Anyone know the standard size barb fitting, for a boost source on the compressor cover?

3/16??

Also what style of fitting should be used? All of the NPT barb fittings I'd seen the threaded base is twice as thick as the barb. I'd like to get one where the thread is the same diameter as the barb, so it disrupts as little airflow as possible.

Thanks for all the help.

That won't effect air flow I installed a basic nippl on my old GT14. Just get a drill thats like just smaller than the fitting then use lock-tite and wrench it in.

Nice shirt

It is an 1/8 NPT. There are different varietys of 1/8 NPT barb fittings, you can go as big as the inner diameter of the threaded part, same as your brake booster fitting on intake manifold. That is too big I think, you should go one size smaller to match.

Where did you get the shirt...???? me want.

Anyone know how what kind of power/spool I might get out of an h2e with a 64mm inducer on a built 2.4?

Found out the stock VGT actuator is operated off the CAN Bus. Hopefully that can help out later on.

I thought i would post some pics of the carnage to my hx40 10 blade turbine. I cant seem to find my calipers to take any measurements though. Has anybody tried to use a wh1c turbine, shaft, and exhaust housing on a hx40 chra? If not, does anybody have a hookup on parts?

I have no clue what the turbine wheel diameters are, as I've never really delved into that branch of holsets before. Here's a compressor map I have. I don't know if this is the compressor map for the 64mm compressor or not:



It's a 70lb/min compressor. If you can see 20 psi by 4500 with it, it would have plenty of powerband for a stroker.

CAN bus as in the same thing that goes to pins 6 and 14 in the obd2 port on your 2g? I don't know much about obd2 at all. But does this mean there may be a way that your ecu can actuate the VGT control by fabricating a plug and play harness?

If anyone wants a nice hx52, I would like to trade mine for the HX40 with t4 turbine housing, 4" v band outlet.

Are you scared of the 52?

That's what I told him forget thagt smaller turbo stuff . It is a big ass turbo but with my intake manifold and engine setup I'm not to worried about it

Nope not scared. Don't have the funds to rev to 9k yet like I thought I would have had. I would like to have at least a 3k power band.
