I'll have to double check on the BW stuff. I developed a pretty good relationship with one of the guys at SEMA who was on the EFR project so who knows.

I can get billet wheels for the full BorgWarner S line.

the heat transfer through the brace is minimal, not to mention the mount is attached to the block and turbo in the engine bay which will already be hot, so you'd just be transferring heat back and forth to components that are already hot.

 

Ok. I saw where I could buy the dog bone bracket that attaches to the turbine, but I'm considering have a friend just fab one up, as long as it keeps the turbine on securely, I should be fine, right? I noticed my turbine only has 2 brackets, and a total of 4 bolts, which may be a problem when trying to mount it.

 

does each bracket basically equal half of a circle? if so you're fine.

what some do is leave the original brackets in place and simply place the support bracket over them and use longer bolts. this of course is assuming you have enough room for two.

I haven't found an easy mounting solution on a fwd Honda motor for a three point brace. given the bolt spacing on the valvecover and no places for bolts on the front of head.

you'll have a huge issue trying to do it with a topmount... the brace would have to stick out of the hood.

you might be able to get away with using two of the exhaust manifold studs as the upper mounts and use something like the upper ac bracket mounts for the "triangle" arm but clearance between the hood is going to make it tough.

you can't just rigidly bolt that bracket to something, it has to have some give in it to absorb vibrations while also allowing for a small amount of vibrations, if not the manifold will crack almost immediately. also it has to be able to allow the manifold to move under thermal expansion and contraction because again if it's completely rigid the manifold will crack.

 

after talking to a buddy of mine, he is telling me not to run the s363. it is a .88 ar open scroll turbine housing. he said I shouldn't because of my 81mm bore size, saying it will not spool good enough for a decent power band (rev limit will be 8400 or 8500) my setup will be running a LS crank, and 10:5 compression.

I am considering selling it. What do you guys think?

 

anyone?

 

Yeah ill chime in

STOP BUYUNG **** YOU HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT!!!!

Good day,sir.

 

I went with it because Ive seen other setups with large turbines like so and make great power.

any helpful posts?

if not, ima just throw it on.

 

Built head with a good set of cams would help. Youd still need to rev it out though.
