So what makes the BW turbo's better than the Garrett's? And who is PTE?

 

PTE= Precision turbo and engine.

BW and PTE just have better designs. They are more efficient. How they do it is beyond me. My guess is through the housing design. Garetts work, and they work well, but BW and PTE work better.

 

In the right hands its capable of a lot of power, sadly only a few have the knowledge to pull this off.

 

Yeah, with a welded shut wastegate... and a turbo that will last 2 weeks running that boost. Luckily for them, 16g's are cheap andplentiful, so it doesn't really matter.

 

Bit of FYI for the curious people: Garrett is a division of Honeywell which is one of the largest turbocharger developers/supplier in the world.

Although I do remember a supplier quality person I was working with once bitching about Honeywell, although I think that was due to the fact that they were having problems getting parts for prototype engine builds.

 

heres another FYI. A lot of the BIGGGGGGG turbochargers they use in coal power plants are made by borg warner. Imagine a turbocharger bigger than your car lol. now thats some power

 

yea, Borg is another large one, Eaton and Mistu heavy industries are other large suppliers

A good article showing how the GT3076r stands up to the S256 BW turbo.

BW has slightly better top end at high boost but Garrett spools faster. For streetability, Garrett ball bearing will always win.

 

Vince awesome work! Lets unlock the launch control RPM's next !

 

Very well said. I'm surprised no one has requested that.

 

this is some very nice info. good job vince

 

i'd love to see what a high comp lnf would make with cams ported head new intake manifold full bolt ons and some c16

 

so now you can release your own tuning software, make some solid cash, and give the support that others have not.

its a win-win-win situation.

 

tomorrow i get my infiniboost tune!
20 psi on the normal tune and infiniboost on the other.

 

you have to let me know how that is. I have just the regular trifecta tune but am thinking about getting that infiniboost.

 

well this is what im gonna do.
(ESC on = stock tune, ESC off & cruise off = 20 psi, ESC off & cruise on = 24 psi)


so that way if i want a little more ***** i can do 20 psi, and if i want to go all out and do a highway run then well move up and make it a beast!
i'll let you know for sure though

 

i thought infiniboost was 30 psi?

 

28 i believe, but anything over 24 is way out of efficiency, plus i dont want to burn up my clutch. all it causes is hop and wheel spin too.
so i'm just gonna stick with 24, thats what most guys getting trifectas tune like this are getting

 

Nope. Infiniboost is just a nickname for the alternate tune. You can request any power level/boost you want for any mode.

 

oh haha yeah. cant blame ya there. i am getting a new clutch soon before i get too much power. I sense either a gt28 or a 20g in my future lol

 

sounds sexy

hahaha

 

Vince I'm dynoing this Sunday so if you need me to test anything I can

 

i really dont know, but isnt a 20g sized more like a GT30?

 

it's actually a 16g with a 20g compressor wheel. so......no lol

 

So the 20g upgrade for the LNF isn't a true 20g upgrade? What or who is the maker of the 20g upgrade for the LNF? Because I have a MHI TDO6-20G sitting in my garage and a MHI big 16g, the 20g is huge compared to the big 16g.
