The HX40W turbocharger, part numbers C4051422 and 4051421, is a premium replacement component engineered to exact original equipment specifications for Cummins 6CT 8.3L diesel engines producing 260-300 horsepower. Designed and manufactured by Holset, a Cummins subsidiary renowned for industry-leading turbocharging technology, this unit delivers reliable performance, improved fuel efficiency, and extended service life for commercial vehicles and industrial equipment.
Our HX40W turbochargers undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet or exceed OEM performance standards, making them the preferred choice for fleet operators, commercial repair facilities, and equipment manufacturers worldwide. Each unit features the signature wastegate design with a blue actuator hose, providing precise boost control across the entire engine operating range.
The "W" in HX40W stands for Wastegate, a critical feature that distinguishes this model from non-wastegate variants. The integrated wastegate system, connected via a durable blue hose to the engine intake manifold, regulates boost pressure by diverting excess exhaust gases at high engine speeds. This design prevents over-boosting, protects engine components from damage, and ensures consistent power delivery under varying load conditions.
Constructed with high-quality materials to withstand the extreme temperatures and pressures of commercial diesel engine operation:
Cast iron turbine housing for exceptional heat resistance and structural integrity
Cast aluminum compressor housing offering optimal balance of lightweight design and durability
Precision-balanced turbine and compressor wheels for smooth operation and reduced vibration
Heavy-duty bearings and seals engineered for extended service intervals
Each HX40W turbocharger is manufactured to exact OEM dimensions, ensuring a perfect fit and straightforward installation without modifications. This direct-fit design minimizes downtime for commercial vehicles and equipment, allowing your operations to resume quickly. All necessary mounting points and connections align precisely with original Cummins 6CT engine configurations.
