ok guys i have a fully built evo 8 running on Fp zero turbo and Fp mani plus supporting mods ....currently making 740hp...BUT i was thinking of switching it up and running a Borg Warner s369 SXE turbo.....
i was wondering if anyone on here currently using that turbo with their set ups.
let me know guys
thanks

 

I am going to upgrade to one once i can pay off some bills. You can get it with the 72mm cover for it as well. It is a bad *** turbo. If you search there is one guy who uses one. i am looking to make 1000 whp myself. I have seen these turbos on other cars and they are nasty. Place who did my build both Force and Whalenspeed are all on board with them.

 

i'm quite interested to run s369, however, do you need e85? can i use pump gas with this turbine or it will be laggy as hell compared to e85?

on another note, maybe someone could share wats the difference between s369 and s467, i know the compressor housing is different but how about the response?

 

I plan on running dual tune with my setup. I want to try to push 1000whp on e85 and whatever on pump. It all comes down to tuning. As far as the turbos go the 467 offers the 5 inch compressor cover as you mentioned, the response will be similar they both will do 900 hp. Key though is the 467 has dual hydrodynamic journal bearings where the s369 has single 360 bearing. So designs are a bit different. Other then that not much that i can tell.

 

Having said with those designs u mentioned which is better and which would perform better?

 

It all comes down to what your budget is. I mean the s369 you can get for about 800 bucks and you can have it upgrade to the 73 cover which makes it even better. The s467 is around 1400 bucks if not more from what I have seen and heard it will be more laggy by a bit. I mean your comparing a 1000 hp turbo to a 1300 hp turbo. It all comes down to what you want to do with it.

 

Would the below specs suffice for me to use s369?

Kellford tx288 cam
87mm wiseco pistons
93mm stroke crankshaft
156mm manley hbeam rods
70mm intake with customized manifold (velocity)
3 inch intercooler piping
toyota coils
pump gas ron 97 (no e85 over here in my country)

 

You can run a s369 on any setup really, it comes down to tune, and how well your system performs to make the best power with the combo you have chosen. The Ron 97 could be an issue for making big power, but it should make nice power. I mean the thing is going to be laggy as hell on a long rod 2.0 and wont spool until later in the power band. I guess if that is what your looking for it should be fine. Specially if it is like a drag car or similar build for a track.
