Anyone using a single BW S369SXE ?!

A little info on the Morris internal volute mods. Not sure if any before/after details though, although I'm sure they want to keep some details to themselves.

Here is the reason why I didn't bother turning it up anymore past 28psi. Both data logs start from a dig and just flat footing it. When tps reaches 100% the log starts. The solid lines are the Borg SXE369s and the dashed lines are the Precision CEA 6766s. The 369s take 5.3 seconds to reach 14psi. This is with basically pinning the gate shut on the dome. The 6766s are at 17psi around 1.7 seconds. I had to lift cause it started to spin at that point. The 6766s even caused the converter to flash 600rpm higher. I will never use any of the Borg SXE turbos again.
Here is a pull from 60mph-176mph with the precisions. I use boost by mph off a front wheel speed sensor. 31psi by the top of 1st gear and ramping up to 34psi. I short shifted at 7400rpm and that causes the dip in boost. Converter is tight.

x2 66/74 vs 73/80, Looks like his 5.3 is not realizing a benefit from the turbine increase and spooling slower. I've seen 369's on a big cam 376ci spool twice as fast as what his chart shows. I think on a 400+ ci they would shine even more.
Wonder if you could tweak the 5.3 into liking the bigger turbines a bit more via cam choice, or just leave off the two step at 10+lbs and let them eat.

True, the turbine side is maybe just far too big.
Even on my 383 at 28/29psi boost with the smaller 68mm wheel, MAP vs EMAP is still pretty much 1:1 ( 0.88 housing )
So the standard 369 with the large turbine is perhaps a bad choice for the smaller engine.

There are some posts on the truck forum that claim exhaust back pressure issues past 12psi, but I don't see that happening. Sure, it will "only" make about 600rwhp at 13psi at about 5500 rpm, but the torque curve would be amazing. The boost can be turned up between 2500-4500 RPM and that puts it right in the middle island for efficiency. The S366sxe is actually even better suited for that.

Here is a comparison between the S369s and a pair of Turbonetics billet 7575s BB with .96AR housings. Both had very similar spool characteristics. Solid lines are S369s and dotted are 7575s

That's good data and expected results, heavier 75 compressor wheel with similar sized hotside spooled even slower. From that graph it looks like the 369's spooled a good bit faster then the 7575, around 4-5k RPM it was almost double the boost.
Did you try leaving at ~4k RPM on a two step? Seems like they would come on pretty good from that point.

Looking at my logs from a 5.3L with twin S369's I'm having drastically different results. My S369's spool more like your 6766's, I have no problem getting into boost very quickly. Honestly shocked me how fast these got into boost as I was expecting them to be laggy compared to single setups but really not much different at all.
I used what I think to be a free flowing setup with a larger (for a 5.3) 231/239 113 cam, 1 3/4" up and forward headers, 3.5" downpipes, Precision 46 WG's, S369's with T4 .88 housing, Edelbrock Pro-Flo XT, running on E85 controlled by Holley EFI with Holley 160 injectors and Magnafuel 4703 pump.

As mentioned the smaller engnes run at a much higher pressure ratio on the map where the s369 really shines. Most arent going to run 40-80+ lbs of boost like the small engine guys do. Not thT u cant make great power w them, but they arent going to perform like they do on small engines

Seems Nathan Shaw bolted a set (S369SXE) on his Nova. Hasn't posted results but says they feel great. This should provide some insight and valuable data as compared to his TC 72 cast wheel/68 turbine combo....car went something like 7.9x @ 172.
With a combo that sorted out...the results of the new turbos should validate the findings.
