I bought one of these for a 6.0 Powerstroke, and it works fantastic for the sake of "using your truck". Spools nice and fast, without overdoing it.

[@TurboDirectSA]

Thanks for sharing!

[@ohc23001]

After a ton of research I bought one of these and installed it on my 2.3l 4 cylinder Fox Mustang. I chose to use an aftermarket single scroll .48 housing. It has been incredible in every respect, nudging the dyno up to 280 WHP on a 186K engine, equipped with only a mild cam upgrade. I am positive I could have made more HP, but I didn't want to risk more that 14.5 psi on a tired, stock engine. still driving every day.

[@TurboDirectSA]

Nice - beware with small housing AR's - they will spool nicely up to a certain boost level, and then the heat starts to creep in as the boost is increased past a certain level. The power output will also become limited and the more you push for power by increasing boost, the more heat you will create which is detrimental to the turbo and engine. At that boost you running now - you should be good.

Great video with exactly all of the information someone needs if they are in the market for this sort of turbo. All of these SXE turbos are amazing for the price.

[@802Garage]

I'm very surprised how affordable the BW SXE range of turbos are. I guess it's mostly because they are journal bearing and oil cooled only? Very impressive efficiency range compared to the Garrett GT series as well. Overall seem like great bang for buck.

Hello sir! Your channel and videos are massively underrated, hope you will grow soon, wish you good luck in this! I am building an m50b28 stroker, stock internals, but about 9:1 compression ratio in cylinders. I want to achieve some safe power number for those stock internals, with a pump gas, 98 octanes, no additional watermeth injection. The plan is to limit the boost to about 1.3 bar, which in theory will give me 420-450 crank hp. On the other hand, in couple more years I will build forged bottom - pistons and rods, 8.5 compression ratio, and I will want to achieve again on pump gas without meth about 600hp on the crank. My question is: what is better for me - buy now s257 with 0.83ar now, and later just change hot side on 1+ ar, or buy now the s252 with 0.83ar, and then change the whole turbo so s257 or even s300 family? I will use this build in drifting.

[@MrOnemorerene]

Also I am thinking of Holset HX35 12cm housing, externally gated.

[@TurboDirectSA]

Thank you very might for your compliment. Im happy to hear we have something to offer the community. Grow we definitely will do - watch this space. Regards your project, don't bother with Holset combinations - this specific engine has been used many times all over the world. The S200SXE (650HP model) is 100% perfect for your application, and will easily met your power expectations. The response will also be very street-able. You dont need the larger AR turbine housing either, stick with the 83, you will be fine all the way - make sure to build a separated manifold to use the twin scroll housing.

Hello France - welcome! Thats high RPM for a 606 --- the S200SXE will work well, but you might need a slightly larger AR turbine housing - start with the 82AR and see from there, monitor the HP and torque curve and if it falls away too early, increase the AR - make sure to build a separated manifold design if possible.

@@colinw7205 Got you -- remember you have a large frame engine with two "smallish" turbochargers, using he twin scroll turbine housings, this setup will come onto boost from around 2000RPM-2200RPM already, and being an engine that does not rev very high, you will see power across the entire RPM range and as long as the engine can use the air flow being supplied by the Borgs, it will make the 1000HP no problem.

Hi Ronald, Thank you for the compliment. What boost are you running the QSV to before it opens? When it opens, does it remain open permanently there after or does it close again when the boost pressure lowers? What is this boost pressure threshold? I have never had thrust bearing failures on these turbos, and the very same turbo bearing system runs on industrial applications at over2.0bar gauge pressure permanently for long shifts.

We used the GT2860RS back in the day and it spooled wonderfully and made 350HP. This ran pump fuel with octane boost and sometimes ran 100% AVGAS - Boost was around 1.6bar if my memory serves me..... For this power you want response, the problem with the CA18 is that it doesnt spool a large turbo easily. The SXE is a journal bearing turbo, and i would recommend using a ball bearing turbo for this upgrade. If you want a brand name i would steer you to the EFR 6258 without a doubt, and even the EFR7163 with the smaller T4 turbine housing AR80.

Just wondering if you have any experience with these engines and which turbo you'd recommend to make around 400bhp. I've got a Gen 1 GTX3582r with a .61 a/r twinscroll housing that I was planning on using, but have some reservations about using a ballbearing turbo making high boost and on a diesel.

Thanks for the subscription - i hope you have alot of learning enjoyment for the future. I will try my best to keep the content coming. The S200SXE is a more suited option to the OM606, less complicated to install, less lines, better low boost response and will hold its own into the high boost expectation area. It will also make the 400HP at a relatively low boost. Bang for the buck - unbeatable! Use the twin scroll AR83 housing, its slightly large than the AR61 of the GTX35, but will spool acceptably well - careful with revving too high on the Diesel engine, if you lose a valve train, it will cost you a pretty penny.

The 7064 is only capable of 550HP - the 7670 is on par with the S200SXE at 650HP - you will make 650HP with these two turbos without a doubt. If you looking to make 600WHP permanently and continually as an everyday all day power setting, and not a high boost setting where you will run a lower power delivery and then up it to the 600WHP with high boost, then you should consider a larger turbo with something in reserve. The 8474 Black series will suffice easily, and you'll be surprised at the spool up of this turbo - we have been involved with a hill climb car which is running the EFR8474 Black with AR92 twin scroll turbine housing and the car was already coming into power around 3500RPM - the engine was built by Steve Clark and made for 1300HP and designed to live at 10 000RPM (RB26DETT) all day long - so the demand for air flow was immense, but the turbo spooled up very fast - you are running a 3.0l -- the hill climb engine was a stroker 2.8l. I would run the AR92 Twin scroll turbine on the 3.0L and leave it internally gated as we did above - shoot an email to [e-mail] and ill send you a video of the car doing a launch (no launch control activated) and you'll see what i mean.

I got a queation if possible,,this uppload is old but i hope someone see it,, im about to turbo a bike,A suzuki 1300rr hayabusa its a 2005 and has around 160whp,im thinking of a garret G series G25-550/660 or G30 550/660,what i like is that these turbos has ball bearing,meaning it will spool upp fast..my goal is for now 250 - 300whp and its used for street,,from city to city No racing but want to strech it when needed...because its a bike and small engine what ar and size turbo should i choose.

Hi i will like to fine out if this turbo will work well on a 1jzgte vvti engine

[@TurboDirectSA]

It will work beautifully - for a street car aswell as a nice 650HP drag setup - in fact this is one of the turbos we will be testing on our 1JZ project car we busy installing into the BMW E36 shape body. We will do back to back runs with different housings, and the EFR7670 and EFR8474Black series - then we will change to the Garrett range of turbos and do the same back to back testing to show the differences on the same engine same boost and different AR housings.

[@tezzaking1014]

Nice project . Cause what am looking for is quick spooling and lil lil lagg not make much

[@TurboDirectSA]

@@tezzaking1014 It will work well - use a separated manifold and use the twin scroll AR83 housing.

@@tezzaking1014 You wont go wrong with that housing. Make sure your collector is made correctly - ill do a video on what a collector should look like and what angles work well -

[@abec666]

If i remember correct these had .83 , 1.0 , 1.09 and 1.22 turbine housings. Whats the smallest turbine housing on your experience that will do all the 65 lbs on a 4 cylinder engine witbout clipping yhe turbine wheel, 1.00 woild be my guess.

[@TurboDirectSA]

Depending on the size of the motor, the back-pressure will differ. For large displacement engines the larger AR will be a requirement to lower back pressure, and the results will show. The general 2.0 - 2.2litre 4 bangers will see the full potential of the turbo with the AR83 housing. Obviously different engines of the same size will have different VE (volumetric efficiencies) like the 4G63 compared to the EJ20 as an example. This plays a major role.

[@abec666]

@@TurboDirectSA Wow really? Thats strage cause a lot of people reported .83 give great spool but something like 550 hp max. The results i have found are from hondas so thats on a low backpressure engines. I really might try it. At the end of the day those housings are really cheap anyway so i can allways swap :)

[@TurboDirectSA]

@@abec666 As i mentioned VE plays a massive part - now the Honda's rev much higher than most engines, and the demand for air flow in this case will be higher than a different engine with a lower rev range, in this case definitely use a larger AR housing - the back pressure in the turbine stage will be higher with more revs/energy being introduced into the turbine.

Thank you for the comment - the setup will not be laggy at all - very streetable and will make the power no problem with plenty in reserve.

[@TurboDirectSA]

@@bmwe-op4jx Both turbos at the boost and power target you want to run are correct options. The larger turbo will obviously allow for more reserve should you choose to up the boost later, but response will be almost identical, with the slightly different power level available.

[@bmwe-op4jx]

@@TurboDirectSA my main concern was that i cant go more than 15 psi,so the smaller turbo for my specs and engine was more streetable and faster boost in lower rpm range i think i will run it with 3 different maps,7 psi ,10 and 13 at max

@@bmwe-op4jx Both turbos will easily spool with that engine, the larger S200SXE will just make more power at the same boost pressure due to its higher flow rate.

@@TurboDirectSA I'm interested in the same. I have a 1JZ GTE VVTI. I have a drift build looking for about 550 or 600 horsepower. Some mid range. Any recommendation would be highly appreciated Thank you

[@TurboDirectSA]

@@TyBement Always remember a drift setup requires response low down,. especially when on faster tracks and/or if you make a mistake a fall outside of the power band. the S200SXE is a great option for that HP target BUT, its journal bearing, and although with the twin scroll housing options, there is still some lag compared to ball bearing options.

Thinking to get a s257sxe for my 2.0 Evo. I’ll be making a manifold for it soon and wondering. Would you recommend making the manifold with twin scroll t3 port or using a twin scroll t4 flange and then port matching the turbine housing?

[@TurboDirectSA]

David use the T4 twin scroll option, and use a larger AR than the 83 -- i would opt for the AR1.00 on the Evo. It will spool FAST and hard

Hello I have a 1990 R32GTR with built more and all supporting mods. Still running stock turbos with steel wheels on 94 pump gas. Im in Canada and we dont have E85 here. What spec would you recommend for great response and up to 600whp. I am considering single or bolt on 2860-5 turbos. Thanks

[@TurboDirectSA]

Thanks for the comment - i used to run the twin 2860-5 turbos and they worked well - until i came across the EFR range. Singles give you more to choose from and a wider power band. The EFR7670 is a loaded gun on these motors. The turbo will spool fast for the street and make the power you want and then some. keep it internally gated, its boost control is excellent.

[@redonegtr5292]

@@TurboDirectSA Thanks for the quick reply. What spec would you recommend and why not the S200SXE?

[@TurboDirectSA]

@@redonegtr5292 Pleasure buddy. The SXE is journal bearing, and as a single turbo its dynamite!! You mentioned two BB units, so i took your lead there. The SXE is so under rated its scary! If you interested in a JB setup for the power you want to achieve this is probably the best turbo out there. The twin scroll housing is going to make the car so responsive low down and the turbo is small physically so it will fit nicely under the hood with plenty space to spare.

[@redonegtr5292]

@@TurboDirectSA I was looking at the “-5’s” in both configurations. Just doing research now. Lots of opinions out there most are running race gas or E85. I just don’t want to be disappointed with a laggy single. Is the efr7670 worth the money?

[@TurboDirectSA]

@@redonegtr5292 Using the EFR7670 (similar size rotating assembly to the S200SXE) in ball bearing with the Gamma TI turbine - this will out-spool the S200SXE and without a doubt is a definite winner! Every single suggestion we have made toward the EFR range of turbos has resulted in a customer for life. There hasn't been a single disappointment other than "Damn i should have gone bigger, i want more" The turbos spool fast, have wide power bands, and are reliable and smooth. EFR is the hidden jewel of turbos, which are under rated in my opinion.

[@berdzena8797]

bought and waiting a/r 63, going to use on 2.0 FSI, safe max boost what will be? (blown up 5558 gen 2, on 2.3bar, can this turbo handle 2.3bar ? ) point is 450WHP on 4x4

[@TurboDirectSA]

Well done - good choice. This is a BorgWarner turbo, not a chinese made precision. The S200SXE will boost safely over 3.0bar gauge pressure reliably, see the compressor map. 2.0bar gauge pressure will not damage this turbo.

[@exploranator]

Examining the stated capabilities of a similarly-sized Garrett turbocharger, the Garrett G30-770 , I noticed some things A) Bottom-left boost I examined on the charts was 2.5lbs/min at 1.5 bar boost BW:73-74 percent efficiency. B) same boost/pressure point on Garrett: 72-73 percent efficiency. (note: this is steady-state, and says nothing about polar moment.) C) Stated horsepower: like all conscience and sentient beings, I ignored that as it is irrelevant to the compressor map. D)Highest pounds-per-minute airflow: 65 on the BW, at 60-64 percent. 70 for the Garrett at what seems to be 55 percent efficiency, E) Tip speed at 87.5 percent for the BW: 62.5lbs/min airflow at 60 percent efficiency. Garrett: 65lbs/min at 55 percent or so, again. F) at the highest efficiency island for BW: 42.5 lbs/min at 3.0PR at 75 percent efficiency. Garrett: 57.5 lbs/min at 3.0 to around 3.35PR Borg-Warner chart has a bigger maximum efficiency island from 1.5 to 3PR and abbout 25 to 44 lbs/minute, Garrettt is 2.3 to 3.3PR at about 41 to 58lbs/minute. It looks like, on initial analysis, the Borg-Warner may spend more of its time in actual use closer to the maximum efficiency. It would be nice if Borg-Warner also published a Boost Advisor like Garrett. I do not know the polar moment, energy-to-spool times, etc. of the two turbos, but the Borg-Warner looks like it would take less energy to start making boost. HOWEVER, also an unknown is backpressure. How efficient is the actual compressor half is not the whole story. If the turbo produces a matching inefficiency in its turbine housing, it defeats any gains on paper. A true, back-to-back test that uses an inertia roller dyno will show the responsiveness of any given system.

[@TurboDirectSA]

Hi B) Polar moment?? Not following you on this. C) Horsepower is absolutely relevant on all compressor maps, the flow rate is 100% directly proportionate to the HP in X10, X12, X15 ..... calculations. BorgWarner have a FAR superior 'boost advisor' called Matchbot, it literally makes Garrett look inferior and incapable - see www.borgwarner.com/matchbot/ Performance of any compressor will depend on the engine its installed onto. Id suggest you take a look at Matchbot, and you will have the answers to all your questions relating to turbine efficiencies etc. Back to back testing can only show so much .... on road runs back to back are the true test.
