equivalent turbos for garrett 57 trim by BW etc...
Hi all
My friend has advised me that Borg Warner turbos are good if u are on a budget. I was looking for a turbo around the 57 trim garrett size for my stock GSR motor street/strip civic. I wanna make around 300-350whp. Whats a good BW turbo to do that with similar characteristics to the 57 trim. searched but there are lots of conflicting opinions.
Many thanks Marc

The 57 trim lower cost Borg-warners don't have the correct exhaust wheel that is used by hondas. On many occasions I've had to replace that wheel with something a bit more viable and realistic for our power goals. If you want to stay with the nicer borg-warner series that are mated to our cars, I suggest the S252 or S256 turbochargers. They are a little more expensive than the Garrett, but they are nice. Otherwise, for the smaller than 300whp or 200whp, the Garrett 57 trim can work well enough.

meh, I guess it is a matter of opinion and what type of powerband you are looking for. I have a BW 57 trim with the 76 exh wheel on my 8.5:1 B16 and love it. I get full boost at 4000 so it feels like a n/a car when you are cruising, and you get a good kick in the pants when you enter the 4000+ rpm range!
Not to say I am disagreeing with Shodan, I know there are better performing turbos but it works for me just fine.
