Holset HX40 6 Blades specs

[RedTsi_PR]

Hi guys!!
I just found an awesome deal on a HX40 6 blades but the ad says the wheel is 58.5mm in diameter and i thought all HX40 6 blades where 60mm.Can anyone share some info on this because i might ditch my Hx35 for the HX40

 

[RedTsi_PR]

no 6 blades are 58 and 7 are 56 and 60 for 8

Oh so the 8 blades are 60mm,What do you think the 6 blades HX40 should be an upgrade to my current 7 blades HX35?

yeah it flows quite a bit more. but no reason for it if you arent maxing the 35 out plus i wouldnt get one of these and put it in the mitsu flanged .55 housing. flows way to much for this. you must atleast go with the .70 a/r

SO wrong.


HX40 compressors can be (inducer/exducer):

6-blade : 56mm/86mm or 60mm/86mm

7-blade : 60mm/86mm

8-blade : 58mm/83mm or 60mm/83mm


There are no other known HX40 compressor specs than those listed above.

Nice info Justin,What do you think about upgrading my current HX35 7 Blades for the HX40 6 Blades?

Is an Holset HX40 #4041276

There really should be a thread for Holset info only on here

if only, eh?

Justin, how about turbine wheels for the HX40? I know the "pro" or "super" 40's use different turbine wheels then the "standard" HX40's. Got any measurements for the the turbine wheels?

LULZ.....

Every HX40 has the same 76mm/64mm turbine spec, hence there being just one turbine housing choice. If there were more that one spec of turbine available then there would be a need for a second turbine housing to fit said turbine wheel.

True, (geez, I feel like such a noob now for asking that)...

Justin,
I have an hx40 that came of a 8.3L cummins (tractor) from 2007. Specs are 7 blade (57mm inducer). I have also read on some desiel forums about this turbo, although it's apparently more rare.

You sure you're just not measuring wrong. If you measure blade to blade on a 7 blade turbo your measurement will be off. Measure from the center to the edge of one blade and multiply times 2.

 

[JusMX141]

Are you sure about that? Keep in mind it's quite difficult to measure the existing radius of a 7-blade wheel due to the odd number of blades....you can't go straight across. You're better to go from the centerline of the turbine shaft hole in the compressor wheel to the tip of one of the blades, then multiply that by 2.


What the hell, Gene? (post times )

Ninja speed!

In the future, please refrain from answering questions that you yourself have no knowledge on.. You couldn't have been any more wrong in your response.

I will grab some pics with the caliper tonight. I measured it some time ago, so I can't recall how I measured, but I think I remember the compressor cover inlet being less than 60mm.

Whats the most accurate way to measure the 7 blade?

You just quoted the most accurate way to measure a 7 blade

Measure off of three blades, and do some trigonometry. Waaaay more accurate than "eyeballing" the centerline. (insert boosted98gsx comment) I'm an engineer, I know these things.

I maybe wrong, but I keep seeing and hearing of a 67mm exducer HX40 wheel. It maybe an aftermarket upgrade tho. I know they are used in the diesel world.
