Obviously a bit a of a price difference...but other than that? As a big single and compounds.
 
GTX has ball bearings. They spool quicker but if it goes, the CHRA is not serviceable. You need a whole new charger.
 
I'm talking about the sizing for a diesel application, and lbs per min. Let's say a Borg s472sxe and a GTX4294.

Or a Borg s480 vs a GTX4508?

Besides the fact there are minute differences in the turbine/compressor sizes. Which would you choose any why for a Street/strip application. With fuel on hand.

I would be happy to include all the variations of the Borg frame from all the different manufacturers out there.
 
Both the GT42/45 have better turbine wheels than the equivalent from Borg Warner, however every factory available turbocharger seems to be a bit lacking on the compressor side.

Would that be the 83 and J-trim 87?
 
Weston, for a second gen swap single 6.7, what would you recommend? A GTX4294? 4202 perhaps? Seems like these newer chargers are allowing larger wheels to be utilized with less associated negative feedback in terms of slow spooling. Guess tuning coming along in the form of EFI Live is helping matters as well.

For arguments sake, dual CP3's, stock nozzles or maybe just some 50% over tips. Nothing super outlandish. Wanting to remain fairly streetable.

Are you referencing the wheel or the compressor housing? Also, do you build something better?

Have your GTX4294R upgraded to a 4594 or smaller trim CW 4502.

This is all I see when you post!

Believe he's referencing the wheel, and yes he makes something "better".

Hard to make better than what you are trying to copy. Well ok, different trims optimised for certain specialist applications.

Your routine negative comments on this site make it very clear you have no interest in ever offering beneficial advice, but in saying this your comments also make it very clear you are out of touch when it comes to the facts.

I would say that would depend on the power goal, the BW 74/83mm turbine will tend to spool a bit faster than the GT42, but will produce more power all other things equal.

The compressor wheel, I have seen only small power differences between different compressor AR's in a single pressure stage.
