Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) turbo to big

[TMcHaffie]

I got a 95 with 300hp injectors 3gsk, #5 fuel plate, High flow delivery valves. My question, is that could i put a hx 60 on my truck or is it just to big of a turbo.

Would not say its to big but, spoolup would be so bad and trying to control smoke would be virtually impossible, might be fine if you are just pulling but daily driving would be bad. DD

use it as a primary and do twins!

It is too big. What is the turbine housing?

 

[DieselNasty]

Sounds a bit big to me, but good for twins!

My brother has nearly the same set up. Do you think that an HX50 or HX55 would be to big?

 

[DCreed]

The 50-55's CAN work if set up well and if you dont mind driving in higher rpms all the time or waiting for it to light. Pullers often used them and some folks street drive them but not for everyone.

 

[Forrest Nearing]

I wouldn't do it, but if you do, you're going to need a lot more than 3000rpm

As mentioned, the 60 would be WAY big for that power. I'd guesstimate ~325-350rwhp with that setup... right in line for a Hybrid 35/40 or similar. If your plans are for more HP, what is your goal?



At the power are at now, EGT's shouldn't be THAT uncontrollable with the stock 35.
