Is a HE351Ve too big for OM617???
Just wanting to know is a HE351Ve too big for a OM617?? What kind of boost can i get out of them. I am not trying to get 500 hp here but, just a good turbo upgrade instead.
Yes, its a very large turbo both in airflow and weight. Its the same as an HX40 (60x86mm compressor) and it weighs 50lbs.
Generally, all Holset turbos can "only" do 30-35psi, its the airflow capability that differs. If you need more pressure than that, you need compounds and/or porting.
Thats basically an HX50 and its used on 10.0L engines. Nothing under 5.0L would be able to flow enough air to use it, even an extremo-modded OM606.
Don't even bother asking about the HE551Ve or HE561Ve turbos, you'd need to split it across two engines to handle that much flow.
