Holset Turbo questions
whats up....I was wondering if anyone knew any info on the Holset turbos. i came across a Holset HX40W for free....the entire turbo, needs a rebuild.. but the thing is pretty big...but my .63ar exhuast housing will fit right on it...So i was wondering if anyknow had any flow charts for this turbo? or have seen/used one before...Wondering what this turbo compares to if it were a Garrett turbo....any info is cool. here the pics.

Re: Holset Turbo questions
There are about 20 different HX40 variants if I remember. They're diesel truck turbos usually, most are rated (on trucks) between 350 and 500 HP I think. I wouldn't bother putting it whatever engine you have unless you can get some compressor maps to see how well it will work on your setup. A free turbo isn't a good deal if it isn't going to perform well, so I'd do the research first.
If you're going to have to spend (waste?) money on a rebuild, I'd find something better suited to what you want to do, and spend money on that instead.

Re: Holset Turbo questions
I've seen quite a few DSM's running HX35's and HX40's. I think Bullseye makes exhaust housings for them so they can bolt up to a stock DSM exhaust manifold...
