what size turbo

The 1UZFE EGR Delete Kit is available for sale here.
This is often a hard question.. As you could be using it as daily driver or all out drag engine..I would chose a smaller A.R if combo is manual...

The S400SX has the same compressor wheel and compressor housing as S400.
But has a smaller 79 trim turbine wheel and has 8 different exhaust
available it either a T4 or a T6 flange in .90, 1.00, 1.10 and 1.25
A/R's. The SX with all the different exhausts available has great
versatility and can be sized for engines from 3.0 to 7.0L just by
changing the exhaust housings. The SX model would be a good choice for
any of your applications

*S400SX Specs*
Compressor Wheel Inducer - 75mm
Compressor Wheel Exducer- 100mm
Turbine Wheel Inducer - 83mm
Turbine Wheel Exducer - 74mm
Turbine Wheel Trim - 79
Turbine Outlet - V-Band
Turbine Inlet - T4 or T6
Turbine A/R - 1.10
Horsepower Rating - 500-1000

Not a bad turbo for around $1k...
 
Its going on a built 2uz. What size borg warner should I use
Code:

What is your goal and what is your budget?

The 2uz has 2 bolt main caps and skinny piston rods. It is not known for durability when boosting in stock form. I would limit your peak power to roughly 300rwhp which is doable with a medium size turbo. The newer turbos have higher efficiencies and generally quicker boost response especially with the ball bearing housings. They are also pricey.

You can get a used turbo that will support your power goals at a lower price at the expense of some efficiency and response BUT if you design the gas flow (exhaust and boost) you can get more than acceptable performance from even an old school turbo.

The new Borg Warner turbos with the investment cast stainless turbine housings and the titanium aluminide turbine wheel and shaft (very light very fast response) look like excellent turbos. Probably pricey but if your budget and goals allow look impressive. Here is the power chart.

As cool as it would be to have a giant turbo. Its still a dd. But. Your the expert
I don't claim to be .. Just been around many turbo cars that have...
You said built so I assume it's race oriented..
Any B/W from 61 to 70mm for mild street for a turbo..
Keep in mind the upper boost levels will be over 600 h.p...
76 to 80 your looking at 1000 h.p...
Check the flow maps* ... This is the cheapest B/W you can buy.. Yes the turbine is big .. You can get them with T04 turbines at extra cost..
There's a lot off difference between dd.. Daily driver and race..
An S372 T04 .83 would spool nice for street driven car.. For just under $2k..

I will have rods, pistons, rod bolts, main studs, head studs and a few other goodies. It is my dd but I wona make some good power. I'm lookin to spend up to 9k.
 
depends on the boost level etc. alot of the bigger BW's like big boost 30+psi. for the price, yeah they are good.
 
Power ??
Just like the 2J engines .. Till it reaches its next weak link...

To a point big turbo's don't work overly efficient at lower boost / power levels...
Check flow maps.. Too low power and your on the surge line...
B/W..
One part that they seem to have sorted is there thrust bearing...30Lb is a walk in the park.. Diesel engines run much more than that over 100 X 1000's miles..

The S476 is $780 to the door.. The S480 is $1450 to the door with 1.10A.R T6 ...

sorry, not a BW fan here
I rebuild them here in the workshop for caterpillar diesels..
rather have a garrett ( that hurt to say that too..)

until i see a new generation BW, their only place is on a diesel , not a race car...

heavy , slow accelerating wheels
heavy units

but, hey, each to there own...

I'm only talking the new gen stuff....light, efficient wheels and well designed housings with great features. Stick a TIAL turbine housing on a garrett and it becomes acceptable but BW are the current king in small and mid frame turbos.
