I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Borg Warner turbos...discuss

Post by 30stones » January 31, 2007

I know they're new to the market but i've heard they're amazing. I know there is some stuff on honda-tech about them but if anyone has any info on them or has dealt with them. Let us know. Bullseyepower.com you can find specs on their website.

they're not ne to the market - it's just a lot of people don't use them because of the whole garrett bandwagon.

Check honda-tech ... there are quite a few borg warner threads on there.

i hate you.

Borg Warner is a big marine/diesel turbo manufacturer. They've been around for a while. I know alot of the big drag cars run em. You going for big dog status?

They do have a new line of "extended tip" turbos that are getting a lot of attention. They are more efficient at high boost levels than a standard turbo commonly running as high as 30 PSI. This is a great feature for a street driven car being able to spool fast and also support a large HP high boost for racing.

a lot of big drag racers use them ... but they make a line of smaller ones too.

Chris is now a dealer for them, so i wouldn't be too suprised if duanne ends up running one, and I might end up selling my 30R already and running one as well.... but only if i don't lose my ass on the turbo.

Just for example, their 50 trim supports 500ish whp ... with the spool time of a 50 trim but the power levels of a garrett 57 or 60 trim, that leads to a shit ton of powerband and lots of fun.

Granted they're a bit more pricey than a garrett or precision, but it might just be worth it...
