Holset HX3B tubo

[Hohn]

Hey! Anyone out there familiar with this turbo? It's used on the Cummins V-16, 60liter genset engine. Yeah, the one with a mere FOUR turbos. .



Is this another options in lieu of an HT3B or HT4B as a secondary for twins??? The model designation seems to indicate it would be about the same size...

Usually the "X" designation means it's standard rotation and the "T" means reverse rotation. So it would appear that the HX3B is the same as a HT3B except standard rotation.

Reverse rotation

That would make sense, as you'd probably need some pretty funky mounts/plumbing for the turbos on the left side of that engine. It would all be reversed from what it should be. Or am I reversed and the right side would need the fancy plumbing? Now I've gone and cunfused myself beyond hope
