JamieP Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Great result Steve, i will be supprised if its the intake causing it drop off at 7000rpm, my money is the turbo is maxed out, iirc its 67mm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it is according to Full Race but after looking at the 91-79 which is supposed to be a 67mm I am thinking this 91-83 is more like a 71mm.

Steve Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 I have been chatting with Geoff @ Full Race to get some more information on this turbo. It is a Borg Warner S400SX turbo with a 67mm compressor wheel with a 83mm turbine wheel and a 1.10a/r exhaust housing. This is the non billet version but was the prototype for the new Billet version that has now been released - http://www.full-race.com/store/turbos/borgwarner-airwerks/borgwarner-s400sx3-turbo.html So there is a good chance that I have maxxed the turbo out hense the drop off at high RPM's.

Kirk Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 That's one hell of a 67mm! Does this mean you'll be in the market for the billet version soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 I don't have a problem with it to be honest, I was concerned seeing the size of the turbo but its fine. I guess with the Billet version it would spool quicker though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 I would say at around 4k ish maybe slightly over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 That is damn good, what boost was your 875hp run at, sorry about the questions, I'm just trying to compare it to my billet 6765 turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 No worries, that run was at 1.8 bar IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 That's massive power for a 67mm at that boost, must be a blast to drive, any speedo vids in the pipeline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 I will sort some videos out. The turbo oil feed pipe has started leaking slighty (old Boostlogic one from 4-5 years ago) so I am just getting a new one sorted before I can do anything.

Steve Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Alritey, look forward to it I will add the videos to this thread when they are done **UPDATE** Also to add, following Santa Pod after the clutch decided to not let me engage any gears, I have now replaced the clutch master cylinder seals and re-bled the system with some higher temperature fluid. The clutch seems to be working ok again now, I guess with the heat and the drag launches the Southbend and the fluid didn't like it one bit! Hopefully this will last me for a little longer whilst I save up for a new Twin/Triple unit later in the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
