Holset G Trim Wheels 13 Blade vs. 11 Blade, which is better?HotThumbs DownThumbs Up October 05, 2010 07:49AM
Which wheel is better? Is one wheel better for diesels, is one more rare or harder to find than the other? Finishing up our turbo set up and just curious which G trim wheel is better for which application?

With the extensive turbo research that has been done the last few years, can this question be answered with any data? The 11 blade is preferred for diesel applications I assume because all single charger 4.1 turbos come with them. They must drive harder than the 13 blades. Would the 13 blade wheels work ok on top chargers? Should run well on an alkie. Any thoughts or studies done on this? Always been curious about the difference, and application differences. Thanks.

We run 13 blades on our top 2, and an 11 on the bottom. The 13 spool up easier which get your top ones turning, the 11 does drive harder and that is why we put it on our bottom charger. Opinions are going to vary on this. That set up we consistently run between 110-117lbs at the manifold. As far as research goes, it's all trial and error. I would not be afraid to run 13s on the top chargers.

I am attempting to run my columbus prostock turbo as a base charger with 13 blade g-trims on top. Big back hx-82's are the basic foundation. There is a pair of 4.1 wheels listed on the pulloff for sale page. Would they be big enough to grab the air, or just pick up a pair of 4.3 billits and be done with it?

Is a large backplate and cover for an hx-82 hard to find? I got an hx-82 yesterday that has a water cooled center section that I would like to get away from, or match. Anyone have an extra center section hanging around the shop? Hc5a through hx-83 would work. Preferably the basic center section but would consider the ugly water cooled one as well.
