Re:PDR HX 40

Boost pressure depends on exhaust volume and velocity (directly tied to fuel burned). It is possible to spin a little HX30 at 100psi. It wont hold together, but its possible. The HX40 is a good charger, and will easily stay together at 39psi all day long.

The intercooler is pretty tough and I don't think you will hurt it. I would stay away from nitrous though. Michael

Re:PDR HX 40

1st Gen. Its not how much boost the HX40 puts out. The advantage of this turbo is that it provides cooler air and can move exhaust out quicker then the stock HX35. I could hit 39-40 PSI with my stock HX35 but my Autometer EGT gauge would be hitting the 6 o' clock position probably 1800 degrees or more! With my PIERS super HX40 with the 16cm turbine housing and 14cm compressor housing, I can hit about 35-36 PSI but I peg out on EGT's at about 1600 degress then recess to about 1400 on cruising at Wide open throttle. In my opinion alot safer then 1800 degrees!! (meltdown temps!) Peformance on these units is great, you can usually gain 50hp on a dyno run with a Piers 40 or even more if you use the bigger 18.5 cm housing, if you have the fuel there to burn. IMO --Justin
