Okay discoball I drug this over here where it belongs. I understand that the turbo that grendel bought is a floating sleeve bearing and I still want to know if the ball bearings and water cooling would help on a 400 HP 8.3L. These turbos are very large so I would think that the ball bearings...
Hwy use won't be dogging on it hard unless in some hills or rolling 68 mph on my G177s
Any specifics on it so us others can dream of the power he will have. I have several other turbos to pick from, up to a stock 400 cummins turbo, that thing is huge.

Speaking of the kids doing burnouts and here comes one! I don't need all of that extra hardware. Now if I was after 800 horsepower like your little ford I might need all that but I want something reliable for more than 300 miles a year.[emoji41]

Okay so we have bigger exhaust so what single turbo would get us a little more flow without to much lag, would like a water cooled ball bearing center.

Would the problem be with guys jacking with them or in stock usage?
I haven't noticed a lot of guys fussing about the turbos failing on the 8.3. The shaft size shouldn't be a big problem on a big slow diesel military truck unlike the little hotrod dodge idiots doing burnouts and tractor pulls...
And this is the stuff I am after but I am one of these bullet heads that wants to see it all and I bet there are others like me.
Run it until I rip it in half then upgrade unless you want to give me a 7speed Allison. By the way think 50 year old CSM driving his own truck not 20 year old...
Also as you have shown here there are many different HX40 and unlike Garrett finding out the A/R of the compressor housing is a pain. And I see many folks not just you knock the HX40 as not being a good turbo but I don't see lots of people who have had problems with them, but do see lots of...
Need to find out exactly what we have to start with before we start throwing parts at it most turbos that come stock on an engine can put out more air than that engine can use. As for my power I am looking for I am going to be looking at what the highest factory settings were and see about...
Okay it is a HX40 but what size A/R housing is that, and what size compressor wheel is that, what size impeller is on those?
The vehicle is the 939A2 with the 8.3L Cummins as in the title but what other military vehicles use that engine?

We have a pump, injectors, air filter and intercooler threads so let's talk turbos! First question is what size is the stock turbo?
