All right, I'll admit it, it was really cheap so I went for it without doing too much research. Anyone have any idea how big it is compared to the common Garrett turbos, and ever hear of it being run on a rotary of any sort?

I've heard of an HX-60 on a 20B powered 3rd Gen RX-7. Never seen or heard of an HT60. Not doubting that there is one though. Good luck on it.

Actually found a map, albeit a pretty poor one. Looks like it's around T76 sized in terms of flow, maybe a bit bigger... HT being a little smaller than the HX turbos.

Guess I'll see if I can make it spool... hell, price was right.

Go for it man. Again, good luck on the project.

Just an update... turbo came. No damage, spins freely, no shaft play, etc.





Yeah, it's kind of a big turbo.

Whoa. In my opinion, that is way, way too big for a 2 rotor street car .

You do realize holsets are efficient at very high pressure ratios (for a rotary especially) right?

These things do great on piston engines with shitty head flow (ford's 2.3turbo comes to mind) and to use it on a rotary efffectively you might want to consider a restrictor inside your intake somewhere.

And yes Im serious, lol.

EDIT: actually, just try a unported motor... and get a big FMIC.

GoodfellaFD3S: Oooh boy do I ever agree. I won't go into details about my plans for it (as there's a lot of other stuff that has to come together, and I don't want to look like an *** if it doesn't) but suffice to say it's not for a street car.

Nihilanthic: Yeah, most Holsets are... but most Holsets that the 2.3 Ford people are playing with are HX35s. Like I said, I found a map for this, and from the map it really is pretty similar to the normal (well, if you call a T76 normal) Garrett turbos... airflow is waaaay beyond stockport levels. Lost the thing with a hard drive crash, unfortunately, but suffice to say that the efficiency plateau at 1atm boost went from something like 50-70lb/min airflow.

Good luck wth it man. It is a big one. My mechanic has an HX-50 on his car and it runs great. I'm guessing that the HX-50 and HT-60 are close to the same size.

Quickie research says the HT60 has about 40% more choke flow. Eesh.
