I am selling my Borg Warner S400SX3 74mm with modified 360-degree bolted-down thrust bearing assembly, new backplate, new turbine wheel, shaft and bearing assembly, has Bullseye RACE cover (5.62" inlet, 3" hose outlet), 1.1 A/R divided T4 housing. Turbo was rebuilt August 10th by Boost Lab in Tampa, FL. Rebuild and bearing upgrade parts were nearly $1200.00. The Race compressor cover is another $385.00 add-on, and I also have the standard GT42-style compressor cover to go along with it if you want to run a 4.21" V-band outlet w/ 5" inlet cover instead. The rebuilt turbo has 6 passes on it and less than 100 street miles since rebuild. It is being fed with a -4AN feed off the filter housing, and a -10AN return, oil cooled only cartridge. Uses a 4" V-band exhaust outlet; I was using a 4" Vibrant V-band clamp on it without issues.

Prior to rebuild, it had 500-600 miles over two years of ownership by me. I have $2550 in this turbo, asking $1500 + shipping. Weighs around 50#. The standard off-the-shelf BW74mm is going for $1465 currently without the race cover ($385 Bullseye custom option), T4 1.1 housing ($250 option), or 360-degree bearing modification ($465 custom option). That's $1100 in options alone!!

Before rebuild it made 835awhp @ 47psi on Q16, and did 9.94@152mph w/ 118-119mph 1/8mi. Since rebuild, it has done as fast as 10.0@144 w/ 108-114mph 1/8mi times for the passes on 30psi with very low timing on Q16 on 09/11/2011 with 2.0-2.2-60's rolling out of the hole. Has not seen antilag since rebuild. It was only tracked on a safe tune so far. I have had this turbo as high as 55psi so far on a test pull to confirm I could hit it, and it held it like a champ. Heck, even before the rebuild it was handling 52-54psi with alot of shaft play, and still kicking butt. I would commonly see 35-37mph difference 1/8mi to 1/4mi with this turbo.

Best MPH prior to rebuild at boost levels between 47-54psi.
Fastest 1/8mi to date was 123mph. (partial pass)
Fastest 1/4mi to date was 153mph on 47psi.


The turbo originally started out as:
Borg Warner S400sx3 74mm Turbocharger P/N:177101:
Compressor: 74.2mm Inducer/ 102.5mm Exducer, 105.5mm ETT.
Compressor Cover: 5.6" inlet/ 3.0" outlet Bullseye Turbo RACE Cover.
Center Cartridge: Oil Cooled BoostLab Custom 360-degree Thrust Bearing.
Turbine: 74.3mm Inducer/ 83.7mm Exducer.
Turbine Housing: T04 Tangential Divided 1.1A/R housing, 4.0” V-Band Exhaust Outlet.



The turbo is currently on the vehicle, and I am done for the year as I broke a race axle and won't get it back in time to compete this season anymore.

I can take it off and ship it immediately upon payment via Paypal. I also take credit cards over the phone via Paynet Systems. If you are local, cash always works without fees

Please PM me here or my email is tmzperformance@gmail.com.

Further information regarding contact info, and the car is on my website at www.tmzperformance.com. There are also updated photos on my Facebook as tagged images from the recent Stance car show last on 09/04/2011.

Thanks,

This would probably be a fun turbo on the SC....I'm kind of set on the PTE Billet Waterless Aircooled DBB 6766 though....maybe we can talk soon. I actually sent you a message on Fb too.

I personally wouldn't go with that center section, but that is me; I would rather have a Garrett ball bearing. Also, be careful with the new turbine wheel, the 63 and 66 wheels are showing some serious failure issues, especially when combined with their VBand housings that are not containing failures too well. I would recommend a standard ball bearing 6765SP on a T3 0.82 A/R housing or divided T4 1.0 A/R housing. The billet wheel is not necessary, nor is the aircooled center cartridge.

Thanks for the info! I'll definitely get some input from you when its time to buy one. I'd love to come see what your car is looking like these days...I haven't seen it in a few years. I still remember being jealous of it when you first bought it and I had just purchased my GSX.
