How well will an HX55 work with Hybrids?

[Magnum PD]

Trying to decide on turbo for my 238/100's. I got that HX turbo a while back, think its got a 65-66 inducer, not sure what specs are for the turbine housing, just 19cm housing. An input?

 

[jngreen]

It should work fairly well if the turbine housing is tight enough. From my understanding, an hx55 is very similar to a modded h2e. I'm not an expert so take it for what its worth. Is it a t4 or t4i?

 

[Cat_rebel]

Should work very nicely for what you're doing. Can you get more numbers or sizes off the turbo?

I believe Derek at Vision diesel ran 1 on his obs awhile back with a little bigger sticks, maybe he'll chime in an tell you what his thoughts are

 

[Magnum PD]

It's T4i. I'll try to get more numbers.

I ran one and made 59x with it with a set of 250-200s.. It's puts the s366 to shame badly. Was a very good turbo

59x is considered big? How big would 59xxx be? I kid...

Good Turbo, would recommend some bigger sticks to put it to its full potential though.

I would say 593 is big for a 66mm turbo..

have been running one for almost 2 years, with 200/200's iirc it made 484/1035 cool and clean.

with 238/200's and Cale's tunes, can DD in 120R tune with little smoke driving like a normal person, if i flat out nail it under 1800rpm in 6th/OD its a smoke show until it lights about 2100 and pulls till you let off. clean''s up to a grey haze and bury's the speedo. keep the r's up and it runs clean.

Boost/BP runs 1:1 43/55 iirc

I had one, good charger. It should be a 66/99 compressor and a 80/76 turbine. There is no way you need to put a tighter housing on it, it will be just fine with a 19cm.

Ive had an HX55 with 175/30 sticks for about 6 months I like the turbo but it needs more fuel then what ive got

 

[Magnum PD]

Glad to hear the good reviews. Only paid $175 for it. Should get the rebuild kit for it. But NEED a mount kit for it and the discharge V band outlet elbow.
