The hx40 starts to spool at 3k with these big pumps.
Offer appreciated.Happy to send some beer money your way Dougal if it will facilitate things. You should just set a standard fee I think. Lots of pretty smart people seem unable to get compound setups sized properly out of the box.
Does the turbine housing hit the wall, or the compressor?Looks like the HE221 (6cm) will run hard up to around 4000rpm with 30psi peak. It hits the wall after 4000rpm.
over 600Nm torque from 2000-4000rpm with low end far better than stock at all points. Also looking at 100cc/1000 shots of fuel.
Peak power around 220kw (300hp) at 4000rpm.
150cc is definitely compound territory. It's about 4x as much work to do a compound set so I'll need a bit more time.
That's the compressor. 4000rpm with 30psi boost is about 37 lb/min.Does the turbine housing hit the wall, or the compressor?
