Holset Model 6 – Paxman 8RPHC Turbocharger Restoration

Originally fitted to the Paxman 8RPHC V8 diesel engine, this Holset Model 6 (53842) turbocharger dates back to 1971 and was recently restored by AET.

The Paxman RPHC series forms part of the renowned Paxman Ventura engine family – a range of high-speed turbocharged diesel engines. Known for their robust performance and reliability, these engines were widely used in generators, marine propulsion, and rail traction.

With a displacement of 13.94 litres per cylinder and air-to-water intercooling, the 8RPHC represented advanced engineering for its time, combining compact design with strong output.
