Holset HX40 Super 40 Turbo Specs | Turbo Lab

60mm/86mm 7 blade compressor
76mm/64mm 10 blade exhaust wheel
only comes with the "bigger" exhaust housing (16cm^2?)

It looks like the compressor is good for ~ 73lbs/min?
7 blade HX40 compressor part # HX40-B8574M


The exhaust wheel and housing are designed for high flow, so that is complimentary to the rotary.

Sounds like a decent budget turbo on a rotary if you are getting it for free.

Just depends on your power goals I suppose, several people have used HX40's in the past. It's going to run out of breath pretty quickly from the looks of that compressor map.

in terms of power, Think of it as a BWs360. It'll need a large Turbine housing.
