Hx 60

Last I heard of one being used was on Tony's (importkilladmax) old LB7 regular cab, and that was in a twin setup. Im sure others have used them too, but they arent really talked about much and usedas often as the Garrett/Borgwarner turbos.
YellowJacket and Duramaxsandwich are both running Holset HX60's. I have no personal experience with them. They are very popular in the 3.0 class on dodges. Turbine wheel is in the 95-100mm rande and flows a ton. You would need a pretty loose convertor or a stick to light one as a single. Holset's are great chargers! I dont think you could go wrong with the right set up.:thumb:
I looked into the Holsets heavily before I built my s366 setup. I wanted to go with a Holset to keep costs down and also to have both my car and truck be powered by Holset. There wasn't quite anything right in the Holset department for a medium sized (s366 comparable) single. But for a compund setup I could see it working. A lot of the larger framed Holsets 50,55,60 etc. come with massive exhaust housings. I saw this mostly with the Holsets that are stamped Volvo or that came from a Volvo semi. Probably doable for a compound setup, but definitely not right for a streetable (towable) single.
There isn't a direct calculation between a/r and cm2 on the exhaust housings, they actually measure different things. But this is a ballpark conversion:
6 cm2 = 0.41 A/R
7 cm2 = 0.49 A/R
8 cm2 = 0.57 A/R
9 cm2 = 0.65 A/R
10 cm2 = 0.73 A/R
11 cm2 = 0.81 A/R
12 cm2 = 0.89 A/R
13 cm2 = 0.97 A/R
14 cm2 = 1.05 A/R
15 cm2 = 1.13 A/R
16 cm2 = 1.21 A/R
17 cm2 = 1.29 A/R
A lot of those Volvo turbos came with a 22cm or larger exhaust housing.. so it starts to get up there pretty good. I think you can find them with a 17,18,19ish iirc, but they are more rare.

that conversion would make my exhaust housing a 2.05 A/R.... doesnt seem right to me??
What housing are you running? It's only ballpark as I mentioned, you can't directly convert the two...
I can tell you that chart is very close down in the 9cm area, my he341's exhaust is effectively just a little larger than a t3 .63 ar garrett, but I can't tell you the larger conversions are as accurate...

His conversion is close on a smaller turbined charger... Exhaust wheel size affects a/r differently than cm3 ... On the big f-trim and g-trim wheels on HC5A'S and HX-82's I have heard a 32 cm compares to a Garrett thumper 1.32 a/r and a 27 cm is in the 1.2? range....
