HX30 on a KA24E
So I'm addicted to boost, and my D21 Hardbody isn't quite fast enough (torquey though). My goal is to run a low boost setup that spools decently fast but not as fast as my T28 would on a KA24E. The motor is all stock, and I am hoping to get another 75-100 hp out of it. I think the HX30 would be the cheapest and easiest turbo to accomplish this. Is my goal outlandish because I only want to run like 7 or 8 psi of boost to keep it reliable.

LMK fellas,

This turbo with the 9 or 12 cm2 (open scroll) turbine housing will do 300hp no probs with a very good spool-up depending on the turbine side at 7-9 lbs it will get you at 210-20 whp no probs.

Check out ka-t.org. Those guys are beasts. I think you can bolt up a DOHC KA24DE from a frontier. Maybe you can just swap the head. Maybe it doesn't matter. Some basic prep out of car (headgasket + arp studs + gut the intake mani) and you should be able to make 250 whp pretty easy.

Also... 300 hp in a little truck? Might want to try mid 200s first and go from there...

Why do you want to boost it? I'm assuming this is your never-fail-haul-things-and-drive-in-case-my-SER-goes-boom truck. If it is I would just leave it stock. Maybe use NOS if you want to scare the pants off someone every now and then.

You are correct sir. It is a very depndable truck but it needs more top end power. I'll just go with the HX30 and run it on low boost. I can't leave anything stock...

I think you shoud start easy and with the hx30... just get a right turbine housing
at 15lbs it will do 300whp no probs at all .for low boost and the hp you are target a hx35 will get you there at aprox 9-11lbs but at expence of 300-400 rpm of spool
cheers.

Anyone know what the HX30 comes off of? I'm guessing some sort of Dodge diesel truck but which one and what year?

It's a cummings turbo diesel motor that it comes from. There is a lot of info about these turbos out there. The cummings site, e30tech, ka-t.org all have good info on these turbos.
