fitting hx40 onto 466 deere February 22, 2016 05:51AM
i have a 4440 and made some minor upgrades and now am trying to fit an hx40 to the engine.
i have the stock water manifold, intake and exhaust manifolds. the only problem is when i turn the compressor housing to go to the intake it hits the water manifold.
i know a 1/2" flange spacer will lift the turbo far enough to where it will work but it gets close to the hood and i dont want to burn the hood.

looking for ideas that people had/tried for working the water manifold.

On my 4430 I cut the square cast water pipe off that goes inbetween the two upright pedistals that lead to the thermostats. I welded a square plug on each end and then welded a 3/4 metal nipple in each patch in the corner farthest away from the compressor housing. Put in a piece of heater hose and that was it. Works great.

Just grind a bevel on the bottom of the water manifolds and lean them over out of the way, its a simple fix. lay a straight edge across both as you grind to keep them both on the same angle. probilty about 1/8 to nothing will work. its been a couple years since I did one but I think stock gaskets will still work.

I have plates machined to tilt the water manifold away from the turbo. Bolts between the water manifold and head. Only requires a extra set of gaskets. we used to machine the water manifold to 23degrees to tilt away and now began doing this . much easier and doesn't alter your original components.

message me if your interested.

All great ideas, thank you very much. The angle seems to be the best for me. I have an extra water manifold so I may have mine machined. I'll keep your number on hand mueller.

How much of an upgrade is a HX 40 on a 466

We mounted a couple onto our 55 series tractors and had a great improvement. We're running hx40 with 16sqcm turbine housings.
Response is better and egt dropped a lot.

Would the hx40 be an upgrade on a 4250? Looking at a 200hp limit for farm stock

What size turbos are factory on a 466 most generally

TO4, 3LM?

Would a 466 3lm make any difference over the stock turbo? I know they are a t4 foot where stock is t3 so I'd have to get an adaptor

yes a 3lm 466 is very good upgrade on a SBJD. I switched from the factory T04 to a 3lm 33 originally(produced around 25psi boost and lowered my EGTs). was ok but not a huge difference. finally put a 55 series exhaust manifold, 3lm 466 turbo and tilted the water manifold away and it was very impressive(around 50-55 psi boost).

Do the 55 series manifolds flow better than the 50s? How close are the turbo oil lines on the 3lm compared to the to4? Helping a friend get a 4250 together and I'm not a Deere guy

The 55 exhaust manifold has the larger turbo foot to accept the larger turbos. the oil lines can work. either buy the 55 drain line or bend the 40/50series Drain line slightly to work. you can use the same supply line.

Question was for Mueller's post about changing from TO4 to 3LM-33.
