So I was scrolling through the internet and I found an hx35super. I never heard of one. How well would this be on a 4bt. It's supposedly has a 8cm exhaust housing. https://www.ebay.com/i/292033711652...3D711-117182-37290-0%26rvr_id%3D1233372588100

An HX35 would turn a 4B into a smoker. HX35 is too big for a 4B unless it's a race motor. For the 4bT use a HX30super or a HE221.

But that's not a normal hx35. It's a 54/55/8. I'm using a 44mm hx30 now it's a good turbo. But I never seen that hx35 before.

I ran a HX35 with a single scroll 8cm housing,it was better that with the 12cm but still hot and smokey until well beyond the 4BT's useful RPM range.

A tighter turbine is only half the issue. The HX35 compressor is too big so runs low boost and poor efficiency at 4BT airflow.

If you're going to run a 4BT in a boat at higher rpm a HX35 with a tighter turbine will work. That's pretty much what Cummins specced on the 250hp marine engines.

Right so really hx30 is about the best before going to twins. I really wish I had the room for twins. Really wish I would have gotten the hx30super lol.

If you have the 44 mm HX30W then you have an excellent turbo for that engine. You could go to the Super HX30W but would require a bit of plumbing mods. The super has a 4" intake instead of 3", the outlet elbow is the same as an HX35W, and a different oil line connection. If twins were in your future the 44 mm is the best.
