Anybody runing a HC5 turbo on a pulling truck, was wondering how they perform?

IIRC RAMpage does and Drew did on "Sleepless Nights"

That is a crap ton of turbo.

the top left turbo in my avatar is a 5 :rockwoot:

They work great if you can turn enough rpm

Great turbos, alot of options with it.

good chargers with almost unlimited wheel setups. i used to run one as my manifold charger with my twins.

So where do you buy these big uns?

 

[p-pumped]

i can get them. most of the time they need built to your setup or atleast i like them that way. several off the shelf versions though.

What application do they come on?

K series Cummins IIRC. Snedge will know for sure.

What RPM were you lightin that beast? Do you know what size wheels and ex housing you ran?

I thought you had one for each hole I think yours are hx 82's

It would light around 4600, it was a 3.6 inducer, i never did check the wheels or anything. We threw it on to see how it would work and then the first hook of this year i blew an intercooler boot apart and took a bearing out in it. Im hoping to have it back or try something different up at numidia, I have to give east coast a call and see what they say.

I've seen small 5A's light around 4 with a 1.0ar housing on them.

I am far from an expert but I have a compressor map for an HC5A that would seem like it would only be good for the big charger in a twin setup - very very wide flow range, almost no pressure ratio (like you're off the map at a pressure ratio of 2, i.e., 30 psi).

That map of course is related to the compressor wheel used, so there may be others which are quite different and give a quite different map. Finding Holset data is quite a challenge...so hook up with an expert before you buy, I guess.

You must have the same map I have. From what I gather there are alot of different wheels.
