Todd and I have been discussing this and talking alot ( due to my recent purchase of a ERL assembled shortblock)....... This will be the newest hit among the tC forced induction community......

Now to the news!!!

We all know F/I is about efficency ..... well a GT2871r aint got nothing on this!!!!

Borg Warner s256 with .85A/R divided housing (T3 footed)

This will be the turbo for my new setup using Todd's Twinscroll Manifold with single 44mm wastgate........

these turbos support anywhere from 330-550hp!!!

as the build manifests itself data will be made availible to all you guys,

BTW.... Todd will be carrying these Turbos!!!!!

 

where will he be carrying it in his freaking truck?!

borg warner turbos are HUGE.

 

These are not the Diesel turbos you may be thuinking of....

this turbo has an 80mm exducer, 56mm inducer with a trim of 49

76 trim on the 74mm turbine wheel and a A/R of .76 or .85 in a T3 housing

 

oh, my bad, i've been up since 6 this morning and all i see at school are diesel turbos hahah

 

 

nice.........looks good
let me know how the build goes bro

 

nice! how bout some snap shots of your setup!

 

You've just learned of this turbo?

This is huge already with DSMs and Hondas.

Pretty soon we'll be seeing threads in here about how Holsets are the newest and greatest.

Regardless, you'll be happy with the S256 - that's a pretty large exhaust housing you'll be running. Your valve-train is upgraded I assume? And will be running a much higher redline?

 

oh hey brian post in clubsciontc.com about this turbo.....lol

ace knows what im talking about....lol

 

No sir.....been playing with them for a bit, and as you say they are big in the DSM and Honda communities. I have many many friends running them on many of the fastest and quickest Hondas in the country.

As with them in thier quest for more power, you are always looking to alternatives to what Garret has to offer. BW is one of those alternatives and offers a few configurations that the Scion community can benefit from. Wether it be a street car setup(stock motor) to a mild build setup like the one that is happening here.

They are larger turbos than the common ones you see used here on the boards. So before people get all excited. They will not fit manifolds or downpipes currently offered to the masses. The only other manufacturer that utilizes BW units is World Racing ie the "descendant turbo kits".

They are derived from diesel turbos, hence their size and weird combinations.

But there "s" series with the extended tip compressor wheels offer a little bit more than what you would get out of a GT series turbo, and at the same time cost less.

So in theory () you get more for your money. Which in this business is always a good thing.

Look forward to allot more updates.

Regards-

Todd

 

hey im all for bigger cheaper turbos........lol

 

Yes I'm vcery familiar wirht their tip "technology"

Actually a bW is what i'll be running when I decide to upgrade.

Props for finally bringin' it to the Scion Comm , Todd.

 

you are wasted arent you b..........lol

 

He sounds like it. LOL ^I mean types LOL

Well its cool to hear more big things coming to the community. GL on the setup and definitely get soem pics of the build there OP!!

 

Valvetrain Upgrades are being done just as you assume ...... And backing up Todd once more as mechanical engineer we are always looking for efficeincy and this turbo isnt a new idea but definetly it has proven to be efficeint and we all know what the World Racing tC has been doing in terms of power potential in a Road Race/Time Attack type setting

 

lol.good stuff.
