So I've been trying to figure out what turbo to use on my 5.3l 4l80e combo. Was set on going with the GT45 from vsracing but i found a pretty good deal on a only used for mock up BW s366 .91 A/R for around 400. Looking for around 550-600whp for the time being. Would the s366 get me to that or should i just go with the GT45? Thanks for any input.

If you can get the 366 for that price I would go that route. They would both put out similar power. There actually is a ongoing thread right now with a 4.8L 6speed with a S366. I think it was around 500whp on 8psi with a huge NA cam in it.

Yeah that is what i am thinking too. I did see that thread but wanted to get some other opinions on the two options. Ill most likely be using a ls6 cam or custom turbo cam as well.

Not sure how it translates directly but the BW S366 that I had and sold to a friend produced 690rwhp @ 25psi in a 2.0 Nissan motor. It was a T3 with .70 a/r and would have full boost by around 4800 RPM.

Just thought I would share in case there is any way to give you a better picture of how the turbo may function.

Where possible, I'd always go with a reputable brand name than a chinese copy.

Buy the BW. Although there are vendors selling them new on egay etc very very cheap

i just bought my s366 for 600 bucks brand new. 66mm compressor 73mm turbine .91 ar divided housing. ill be sure to post results in a couple months when i get the new kit built. im not going for any records just want a fun fast spooling 6 speed setup 550ish rwhp. there is no way im gonna spend 250-300 on a chinese gt45 when i can IMO get a better turbo for a few hundred more that doesnt sketch me out. I would guess a borg warner turbo is way more efficient then a gt45 with probably old tech wheels. dont get me wrong i was gonna get a gt45 but at 600 bucks ill go borg everyday.
