Have any one ran this turbo that come off a cummins diesal truck before. And if u did what was your set up and how many horses did u put down, also is the turbo worth it.
holset hx 35

had one on my cummins diesel truck. it was ok spooled good and put some decent power down.
well i wanted to run it on my built ls/v
Hx35 is comparable to a gt28-30 (I believe, the hx40 is close to a gt35). They spool a little sooner though. All the research I have done, they are half the price as garrett and spool quicker. They like to be "underpaid and overworked". On a gas engine they'll do better than on a diesel because the exhaust from a diesel is slower. I know a few 4g63s with them making around 450-550. Just depends. Also, they are cheap to rebuild if needed. Hope that helps.
Back to being stock and slow
That helps a lot so now I need to locate one, I think I might go with the hx40 I am going to do more resereach. But thanks
im running a HX35 on my GSR and im impressed with it. bullseye turbo makes a better exhaust housing(instead of the bulky stock one but it weighs more)

I have done so much,
with so little,
for so long,
that i can make anything,
out of nothing!!!
If you get the hx35, they have the split scroll housing so you'll need to make sure you run a paired header or mill out the divider at the turbine inlet. I'm running an hy35 on my Ford 2.3T engine with a little bit of head work and a good cam and have full boost at 3800 rpms. The hy35 is nearly identical to the hx35, main difference is the turbine inlet and also the turbine housing size. With a paired header on the hx35, a lot of Ford 2.3T guys are getting full spool around 3k-3200 rpms so that makes for a much nicer torque curve. The other thing about holsets is they come on like a light switch, I shoot from 5 psi to 25psi in about 500rpms!
Another thing about the hx35 to look at is finding one with a smaller turbine. The typically come in 14, 16 and I believe 20 cm^2 sizes, but you can find 12cm^2 housings and these are the best for quicker spool times. The hy35 I have is a 9cm^2 housing which is comparible to a .63 t3 turbine housing size.
Holsets are great for a cheap turbo that can support massive power, but next time I'm going to go with a turbo more suited for my build. This one is a little too lazy for me. But I did switch from a 60/48 t3 to the holset, lol.
the hx40 is too big....im running lsv with it and dont hit full boost until almost 6k. makes great power its just super laggy...im looking to run a hy35
HX 40s are pretty good. I have 2 for sale if interested, let me know.
