Anyone running a HX35 over a S400? We've been discussing putting twins on my truck and were pondering this setup. Any thoughts or objections?

I have heard of two or three people using this set up and they really like it. Really fast spool up, and can handle a bit of power. I'm not positive if they were running it on a 1st Gen though...

On the drains, as long as both lines go downhill all the way to the nipple in the block, it should work fine. If it is too low, you will have to add a drain to the oil pan, above the normal oil level.

Works great on a 2nd Gen.
RIP, at Source Automotive has sold the kits for this set up for yrs.
I've driven two with HX-35/S400 and they work as well as my BD twins. Run just as cool also...up to 600 hp and 65 psi boost.

It has an HX40 inlet so if you plan on running an HX35, you'll need a simple adaptor.

With some Scheid 6x.06 EDM and a maxed 12mm VE, yesterdays 8.23 1/8th mile pass had the EGT's no higher than 1500*F @ 55psig boost (with a ported head, cam, big IC, etc).

The 3b/40 over 3b setup works darn good, and your under the hood pics are outstanding. Nice work.

That turbo is off of either a 6v92 or a 8v92. If that is of any help to you.
