Has any one used a HX 40 or 55 on a VW 2.0L 20valve.As we are planing to bulid a engine for drag raceing and would like to get 650 HP with about 2-3 bar boost. Any suggestions on compwheel.shaft size and turbine housing___cm none waste gated
As looking at some of the compressor maps supplied it showes the specification HX 40-B8554 is it possable to actualy put a part number for the compressor wheel with the map.
The partnumber of the compressor wheel belonging to HX40-B8554 is 3594837... however... I would not recommend to go for this one. Most of the flow maps that circulate on the net are fairly odd ones and it makes life a lot easier to go for a more popular one out of the current production range of Holset. You better can go for a different HX40 or even a HX50 unit, because there is a wide variety of compressor- and turbine configurations, which are all current production items. Also changing to a different compressor- or turbine size and nozzle area is less complicated and of course less cost effective. Have a look at chapter 'Cabo Turbo HX range' on my webpage
www.caboturbo.com where you can identify all current HX40 and HX50 combinations possible.
Compressor inducer diameters give a 'fair indication' of the flow capabilities, I see a lot of blabla around trims and flow maps on the internet, which is OK, but stick to simple. If you are interested to know the flow capacity of a particular compressor at 2-3 bar boost pressure, I can have a look on my maps and let you know.
It is not my intention to sell to you, just to support you with realistic information. I think you are in SA or ZA, I'm from Holland (The Netherlands) When I know, what your preferred option is, then could supply you with some partnumbers and direct you to a local Holset distributor to purchase, what you are looking for, OK?
