Inspiration? Yes. A good chuckle? DEFINITELY!Just one of the many services I offer. Race Day sells a kit for the HX-40 from Turbo to Block if you've the coin. Do it yourself will save a bit.
Your way ahead the only thing now is the 4" down pipe I'm lining up stainless parts & it's getting pricey but worth it IMHO.Thanks FT. I hope it is.
Once I get this installed I'm going to evaluate the space available for a 4" downpipe. I'm not sure I'll be able to fit it with this iteration. I still really want to do a center mount turbo - if/when I do that I will incorporate a 4" downpipe.Your way ahead the only thing now is the 4" down pipe I'm lining up stainless parts & it's getting pricey but worth it IMHO.
I like that. Thanks for sharing! Definitely food for thought.
Possibly.....the 3" downpipe is going to be RIGHT next to the header as it is, so I'm not sure I'll have the extra room available right now to stuff a downpipe that's any larger right now. I MIGHT be able to do an oval tube right there, but it's so close to the turbo outlet that it may be tricky for me to make the transition from round to oval in that space. Once I have it in place I will do some looking an evaluating to see if it's possible and then if it's worth the effort. The effort may be better applied to engineering a center mount turbo system instead....As the 4" down pipe goes a first gen ram HX40 4" down pipe transitioned to oval pipe to clear chassis then back to round. A larger that 4" oval can be used to make an expansion chamber to allow for quicker spooling at WOT.
Those are good ideas, I'll see what I can do.My only thought is can you also run 1 tank of fuel as a rough mpg check and 0-60 time with each. Yeah everything is not 100% scientific, but still good info IMO.
I'll leave out which first opinion to those it effects a lot more. Nice of you to throw out the option here.
Well I have 2 CKOs, because the first one was eaten up by the coolant in the oil in the old engine. So as long as the bearing housing is ok, I'm going to rebuild it and then I'm putting new wheels from Turbo Labs of America in it. If the housing is toast I'll look into getting a new bearing housing or I'll just rewheel the CKO that's on the engine right now. When I do the install I will do a detailed post in my HX40 thread.So your dumping the CKO for a real Holset, or?

I tried ordering from BAE and I've had no response from them in over a week! Phone calls go to an answering service and they haven't responded to emails. So I did more searching and found Turbo Lab. They had some decent reviews and they sell on Amazon. I love buying through Amazon so I pulled the trigger. I ordered the stuff Wednesday night and I am supposed to have it tomorrow.Got ya, I was just on Turbo labs site as I suspected that is what you were doing sounds good.
