Borg Warner turbo's
 
Any opinions on Borg Warner turbo's? There seems to be a lot available so there may be a reason why. Does anyone know?

i have a S380 with a billet wheel, and love it, and the 275 class on the east coast uses a S476r pretty frequent. those turbos are designed to be on 200k mile service life vehicles.

theres alot available because they are cheap and they work

^ what he said, good units, can be had brand new for good price's, and perform well (good sized exhaust wheel's/housings for big power.)

buick_lsx Sep 2, 2012 01:00 PM

ive had mine for over 3 years now and still runs perfect...$600 turbo ftw, and nothing like most of the ebay units

Atomic Sep 2, 2012 01:13 PM

I have had 2 and both have been great.

Some people prefer Garrette. How do they compair?

ZeeTwentyFate Sep 2, 2012 01:42 PM

its all about size and efficiency. look at the compressor map of each and go from there

They are awesome, reliable, affordable turbo's and they flat out make power.

Plenty of options too.

I am a dealer for BW.

Which models Borg Warner are you guys running (i.e. single turbo)?

Ferocity02 Oct 23, 2012 07:01 PM

S472, S474, S480 seem very common. They are popular because they are affordable, have nice big turbines, and are seemingly bulletproof.

geberhard Oct 23, 2012 07:08 PM

thnaks, any leads on where to find them? Not finding even on ebay, I think the s480 only showed one result and about $1600?

jridenour31 Oct 23, 2012 07:16 PM

Forced inductions, boost lab, work.... they're everywhere.

Atomic Oct 23, 2012 07:43 PM

I bought mine from Reed at work turbochargers, very knowledgeable guy. I have used the s400 in 76 and 80mm

Billet S383/92 turbine.

Sales@Tick Oct 24, 2012 08:51 AM

Most popular seem to be the S400 chassis turbo's.
