There is a BW s476 for sale close to me.
It's part number 171702
Is this a viable turbo for my lq4?
And is $550 a reasonable price for one new in the box?

 

This will be in my 71 Monte Carlo and only street driven.

 

diesel. but it doesn't really matter. several guys on here have had great success from BW units of similar stats. that is a good price for a new one, as they sell for about $600 new on ebay. I say go for it, you have the engine bay room and the 6.0 will spool it easier than the 5.3, and some have run them one those

 

I have a cavernous engine bay to work with.
Thanks for the input

 

Anybody else have an opinion on this turbo for a lq4?

 

Its a good deal on $500 bucks, specially if its close to you. Diesel or not diesel it will work good on that LQ4. Is it a bonestock LQ4?

 

it is right now. I plan on studding the heads and cam and springs, but that was about it.

I don't mind spending more on a turbo if it's going to be better for the combination.
I'm not trying to change the earths rotation, but I don't want a dog either.

 

That's a good price for a really good turbo.

 

as fast as it was for sale it was sold.

is this a well suited unit for $800?
I'm seeing them for 2500+ online

Best prices on the s400s I could find. We just did a s475 on a stock LQ4, shipped for $691. Might be worth a look.

Good luck.
