Toasted my turbo. Any suggestions for 450hp+?

[nytescion]

Well i just toasted my SBR-GT12 tuning at 30psi. I'm looking for something now with a lil more kick. I had an hx40 and loved it, but the built motor i had at the time took a poop and took the turbo with it. So now I'm her to ask what are your suggestions? What im looking for is

*450hp to 500hp with option of going higher.
*Able to take some abuse (it will be turbo timed)
*DSM flange i don't want to get rid of my FP mani
*Preferred journal bearing but BB is fine too (cost reasons)

HX35 and the HX40 are both more than capable of breaking 450-500hp. They are the fastest spool to power ratio turbos out they unless you're willing to pay the big bucks for the FP HTA turbos.

If you're willing to swap manifolds to go with a T3 setup, the HX35 in a .70 a/r BEP housing is what you're looking for. Big airflow numbers (60lb/min capable) with full boost in the 4000-4200 range depending on your compression and displacement. They love big boost.

If you enjoy the sound of a jet coming from beneath your hood, the HX35 is where it's at.

20g turbo

20g turbo

I would not recommend a 20g. I have a td06 20g, and you will have to push one really hard with some sort of race fuel to achieve the numbers you are looking for.

 

[1gDSM4g63]

20g is the worst possible choice. If I'm correct it's flow rate is 44 lb/min and if will barely make 500hp with a pro tuner making it happen.

how does the hx35 compare to the gt35r or the s258? Like i said i had a hx40 at 25ish psi and it MOVED.

Can you show me a link or post of an hx35 flowing 60lb/min.

Like Justin said, the HX-35 is 60lb/min capable in the T3 housing. If you stick with the bolt-on housing you will still probably get over 50 lb/min, and can swap to the T3 set up later.

Here is a compressor map for the GT35R. http://www.rbracing-rsr.com/turbo/TurboMaps/gt35rcompress.gif

I don't know about the BW turbo.

ok no 20g....how about a t-88

I'd rather not change manifolds. That would cause me to spend even more money than i already have to. Not totally out of the question but i'd rather explore other possibilities first.

 

[My1GLaser]

The HX-35 has a BEP bolt-on housing for a DSM manifold. It won't allow the compressor to reach the full 60 lb/min, but I am expecting 50-55lb/min when I get mine set up over the winter.

dump the clutch and dont look back.. The reason why dsm's are considered unreliable.. and a t88... Has anyone ever ran one of those on a 4cyl??

I just added everything up and i spend about 800 on a full holset setup including pr o2 with 38 mm tial.. I sold my 16g for 200 so 600 for everything including oil lines.. It is a sick way to go considering you sign up on the cummins forums and act like you own a truck and buy turbos cheap. i got my WH1C for 150 bucks shipped .. I told him that it pulls great on my rig ...

The most I've personally seen logged by a 7-blade HX35 in a T3 .70 a/r housing is 55lb/min at around 30psi with plenty of room to grow (stock intake manifold, stock whooped-up 6-bolt).

Perhaps you should ask this member what his airflow numbers looked like to get a better idea:

7-blade HX35; 494hp/466 ft.lbs, Mustang Dyno.

ok i trying to pick between two turbos now. Turbo 1 brand new internally gated GT30R for 800 bucks. Or turbo 2 externally gated hx40 for 750 also brand new. right now I'm leaning a lil more toward the gt30r because i wouldn't have to block off my water lines again to run it. But the hx40 left a lasting impression last time i had it and i think it would give me more room to grow.

I'm looking to be running around 25 psi with which ever i go with. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated as I'll be making the decision in the next couple of days or so.
