    8.3 turbo discussion

    Stock usage (stock fueling/boost) they tend to survive just fine. Start asking more out of them, they give up the ghost in a hurry.

    8.3 turbo discussion

    There's a lot of 40 failures out there. I've stayed away from the 40 intentionally due to their shared HX35 shaft size. You could buy a "boost elbow" to increase boost pressure. This simply reduces the pressure sent to the wastegate allowing for higher boost. That'll help squeeze a little...

    8.3 turbo discussion

    You can of course push a turbo with more fueling to achieve more power. But a 40 isn't the best sizing for a 8.3 out of the box. It has a T4 foot. The problem you're going to run into trying to push the 40 is EGTs. Especially under load. Cummins specs the HX40 to 280hp, which is...

    8.3 turbo discussion

    That's determined by the turbine housing. If you're hoping for performance from a 40 on a 8.3 you're starting off on the wrong foot. People put 40s on 5.9 Cummins. But more often end up swapping to a better turbo. What is your power goal?

    8.3 turbo discussion

    There's several flavors: 6 blade = 56/86 or 60/86 7 blade = 60/86 8 blade = 58/83 or 60/83 7 blades with the extended tip are the "best" 40 out there. If there's such a thing.

    8.3 turbo discussion

    HX40's are inherently weak due to their shafts. (Same as a HX35 only with larger wheels)

    CUCV starts fine... Immediately dies

    Was the crap solid in nature? Looks like coffee grinds, but looking close at it, it's plastic? If so, that's the EMD ring decomposing. It will still run, but more of it will come apart and do the same thing. Eventually the IP will die.

    turboed 923 A1 ?

    So you mean what I was saying is true? This thread is about the NHC250.

    turboed 923 A1 ?

    I do not drive the SEMTT enough to use that as an argument. (Which you'd have used against me) But I see my related facts have gotten in the way of yours. I'll gracefully bow out.

    turboed 923 A1 ?

    The CUCV is routinely driven. The VW engine I had was a daily as well. Heck I've even pulled a M1082 trailer hundreds of miles with the CUCV. Unless I luck upon a deal on a 6.5, my HMMWV will be turbo'd in the same fashion as well.
