Well latest purchase. Wise choice, probably not. But I have been so excited to try one of these so I just said Eff it since Geoff @ Full Race gave me a really good deal on it.
This is a new Borg Warner SXE-300 8776. So it's the 64.5mm comp wheel, which can be paired with either the larger (73mm) or smaller (67mm) turbine wheel. I went with the smaller turbine as its actually very similar in size to my current turbine wheel. And if you think of it in PTE terms, this turbo would be called a 6467, so from that perspective it seems like a pretty good combo to me. Plan will be to reuse my current .91AR T4TS turbine housing, but I may switch to a 1.0 T4TS just to see if I'm choking it out.
Geoff said he expects it should spool very similar to my current SX300 8475 (61mm) but obviously have some top end gains.
Plan is to keep the current SX on the car and get it tuned on a good amount of boost (30ish). Run that for a little bit, then maybe in late summer swap this on, and see what kind of difference it makes. And hopefully some dyno sheets to show the difference.
It came packaged very nicely. And just in case I thought this was a big single, they remind you on the box that it is in fact NOT, it is actually a small turbo, make no mistake about it!
