just wondering if you can get a 12cm and or 14cm hot housing for them ?
i would like to but a fancy turbo for the truck but i have the hx 40 so i will use it now ,,,, but i would like to put a tighter housing on it

 

mines a 14 pretty sure. and jay has 16 on his. not sure about a 12 though.

 

well i will have to see about finding 14 then ,,,, any i have is a 16 , i want a bit smaller

 

I would call Alamo here in town. They should have used housings available.

 

I have a couple 12cm's on HX-35's you could try, I would be willing to trade if it works.

 

will a hx-35 hot housing fit on a hx -40

 

It does on the compressor side with the backing plate, but not a 100% sure on the hot side. My turbos are just sitting collecting dust right now, I can pop off one of the hot sides, and we can see.

 

something i just thought of is the 3inch out let ,,, i want to bigger 4 inch

 

i was also thinking of maybe a trubo off of a 04 ... but i will have to find one to try

 

I'm pretty sure that the 35 tubine housing will not fit onto the 40 bearing housing. I haven't worked on one of these turbo in awhile, but if my memory is correct the 40 bearing housing is bigger than 35. A hot deal wink is to score a slightly used, but electronics toasted 6.7L turbo. They work nice and have the ablity to use the exhaust brake. There a fella on the comp diesel that has that set-up. I bet you can buy a 6.7L turbo for less than rebuilding that 40. Really that 40 needs an enlarged wastegate on 14cm. Thats what PDR did. They also used an large o-ring on compressor housing for sealing, holset housing leak that valuable boost.

Two advantages of using the VE351 or 6.7L turbo, variable vane turbine. The compressor impeller is nearly the same size. The turbine disk should be smaller as well. That should fix the laggy 40 issue, but doing that you creating more drive pressure and will limit top end power.

 

Rob, I think that I forgot to get a few pics for your set-up. I'll have few more with the air tubes, but I can't find them.

 

well i was thinking f putting the hx-40 0n my 1995 as a single and using something else for the twins , my hx-35 is starting to use oil so it's on it's way out ,,,, and i would like to cool the egts off for when i pt stivks in my 1995 ,,,,

 

just found a guy with a 2006 turbo if your interested.

 

that vgt ?

 

honestly dunno if VGT came out with the 2007s or earlier.

i don't think it is but lemme ask him.
