S400 vs GT42 vs HX60

Looking for a affordable 3" turbo for a 466 p-pump open rpm. GT42 and S400 have similar spec but HX60 has an bigger exducer than the other two. Which would be the best choice ? |

Gt42 based turbos are on top for 3” stuff right now. S400 tend to have reliability issues and don’t make the top end power. Hx60’s just turn too hard for a 466 to keep lit |

If you are talking stock versions the the Gt42 will be pretty decent, if you are talking latest and greatest the hx60, the hc5 and the gt55 from 3 vendors are #1 now particularly in open rpm. You can pick up a 3x3 pretty cheaply though. This is assuming you aren’t limited to 3” outlet |

Harts 3x3 really hard to overcome. |

Only if limited to 3” out. Hart’s is building one of the above mentioned turbo’s. It performs significantly better than the 3x3 |

Thanks for all answers. Now I run a 3x3 s400, a local turbo guy offered me a billet wheel, it’s a 6 blades 75x111mm instead of 75x101mm stock cast. I am better to spend money on my turbo or on a box gt42?! I know I can call Harts but I don’t have big money to spend on it. Thanks |

Not sure I completely understand what you are trying to do but the gt42 is a better platform to grow from if you don’t have a bunch of money to spend. However if you are trying to compete against billet wheel chargers with a stock charger you will have an uphill battle |

Gt42. Hart will make more power but won't last that has been my experience. |
