Calling all Holset guys!
Picked this "HX35" up for $150, seller told me it was brothers who has since sold the truck it was for and forgot what the specs were. Hoping to find some more info about this turbo, and some insight on using it on a 951 motor.
First, some pics (yes my calipers are a POS, Mitutoyo digital ones in the mail):
So right off the bat, it's obvious that some grinding will need to happen to fit it but I was aware before I decided on a HX and I'm not bothered by that. Now the question is... what hotside is that, and is there any hope of it ever clearing the mount? The exhaust flanging and fabrication isn't really an issue right now, as it will all be custom regardless of what turbo goes on (yes..twin scroll ). The hotside reminds me of a h1c hotside, but has a longer "downpipe" snout before the v-band. The normal HX35 has a much different shape.
Now the wheel dimensions.
Compressor: 48 x 83mm , 8-blade billet
Turbine: 60 x 70mm
Any initial thoughts? I'm not trying to bite off more than I can chew, it's a long term build and I'm not cutting any corners.

A mid-90s Cummins, in a Ram. They're plentiful in my area, big rural presence within an hour of me.

Nice! Contact Sid(blown944) he is the holset king. I remember Sid said an Hx35 with supporting mods can do close to the 400whp mark with good spool. Hx35/40 is on my to do list eventually, have a garrett 57trim keeping entertained for now.
