White phase 1, now with added truck turbo and massive head gasket failure

[cwspellowe]

The turbo is a Holset 3590506 with manual wastegate
Its from a MAN L2000 series lorry, 6.8 liter 6 pot engine

Im guessing that the 35 at the start of the number is the frame size and so its a HX35

Hate to say it, there's NO way that's a HX40W....

A 3.0 6cyl STRUGGLES to spool a HX35 by around 4000rpm.... Doesn't look anything like as big as a HX40 either...

The HX number is a frame/core size to which you can add any compressor wheel and housing combos you want. Some of the HX35 stuff is barely any bigger than T2 size so its possible.

Serial number for the blower comes back as the WH1E, a HX40 derivant, with around a 58mm compressor wheel. Something doesn't sound right about it given the apparent size of the hotside.

Quick google tells us this:

HX40:

The 8blade hx40 has a 58mm inducer and flows about the same as a 60-1 (around 60lb/min) with ALOT better high boost efficiency and spool speed. It is the most common hx40 out there. The small bep housing with the hx40 turbine wheel is plenty to reach the full potential of the 60lb/min 8blade hx40 compressor. 20+ psi by 4100rpms with 272s.

The 7 and 6 blade hx40 is called the super40 and has the 60mm compressor inducer. This compressor flows around 69lb/min. You can get this wheel in billet style (think HTA). The non-billet wheel spools as fast as the 8blade hx40 in the bolton bep housing and has done 653whp at 40psi per the holset results only thread. Billet should spool even faster. The t3 .70 a/r BEP housing slows spool about 400rpms. But reports show a significant gain in flow per psi. So expect more power at lower boost with that turbine housing.

H1E/WH1E:

The Wh1e is like it's little brother the Wh1c. It mirrors the hx40 8blade in every way except that it has a v-band compressor cover and a 4bolt chra-turbinehousing pattern. It will consequently bolt into the hx40 bep bolton turbine housing and this is plenty of flow to max out its 60lb/min compressor.

The h1e is like it's little brother the h1c. There are different size compressors. . . BUT there are also different size turbine wheels too. Check measurements before buying this turbo if you plan on running a BEP turbine housing. There are lower flowing compressors than the 58mm 8blade that are out there. So this turbo may not flow any more than an hx35 if get the wrong one. You need at least a 58mm compressor inducer for this to be a worthwhile turbo vs the proven hx35 or 8blade hx40.

Either way you look at it, the serial number's for an HX40 or WH1E. Which is ridiculously massive.
