hx35 as in the same turbo manual 24v dodge cummins turbo? if so that turbo is good for about 38lbs of boost

 

yes same turbo. and i believe 40lbs :)

 

if it came off the 160hp cummins form 96-98 its 15-18psi or if its 215hp motor same gen. max is 21-23 psi. still good boost for your project. i think the newer ones are capible of lower 30psi range of the 24v common rail.

 

i have been working a bunch of hours to get some new pistons. they should be here soon.

 

update!?!?!?

 

still in machine shop wrapped up. the block is basically done. right now im port and bench flowing the head :)

 

If you don't mind me asking ... What happened to this project?

 

Last I knew it was for sale

 

Power is about compressor flow, not psi. You can spin any turbo faster to produce more boost but if the compressor map is flat your just going to create heat and backpressure. I do this for a living.

 

i was merly stating what the specs are. i know you do this for a living....you make sure we all know.

 

Theres one of those running around here with a V8 in it and it almost fits under the hood just the air cleaner sticks up it sounds sick as well just hearing it take off wold make anyone it a camaro or mustang shiver "No Joke" it sounds like its turbod!! Heres a pic of it when it was for sale I figured it had a 350 or something simular but the owner had a '66 mustang coupe and a '71 Mach 1, and two ford trucks so I wouldn't be surpised if it was running with a 302 or something. I still see it once or twice driving around. (sorry for it being Black and white)

 

A co-worker at my last job had one of those with a built 5.0 in it. Sounded SICK!!! No traction til 4th gear with it. Sadly, he spun out on an icy road in the winter and got t-boned. Must have routed the fuel lines in a bad spot because it burst into flames.



Nobody was injured but my favorite part was that he got citied for "failure to show proof of insurance" to the cop because it was in the glovebox. Don't think he had to pay it though.
