GT4202 vs. S474
- Thread starter paint94979
- Start date
I have never ran either of them but. Would say it deals the most with price and the abilities you can do with the S400. Do you want to twin it or run it as a single?
Nick I would do a search with pat and johns name under both of these turbos
I know there is maps posted on both of these on the site
BW has the ETT that is suppose to help for spooling
the turbo seems to spool really well for me, it took a bit of tweaking to make it perfect but I like perfect
and enjoy tuning
bang for buck I just can't cough up for the Garret even if they are a lil better jmo
one thing I also like is they are only oil cooled so no pesky water lne to run to the turbo, may not be better but is alot cleaner not needing the water line.
Btw I shift at 3600

In the end loose the jr starter turbo and get into the real boost

What size turbine and housing are you running?
I would save the money and go with the s474 with racecover. I read a post some where that the garrett olny made 15hp more. the b,w is cheeper to rebuild as well
What are the benefits of a Racecover? i'd probably just have the exhaust housing ceramic coated cause when they rust they look like shit
BW turbo's
The race cover on mine was worth almost 40 hp. There is like 3 different type's of race cover's. Jeff

I got a quote today from a buddy who was going to give it too me at his price... a GT4202R is $1850 a GT4202 is $1040 that is a ridiculous.
75 and 1.1
Didn't know that about the non water cooled price seems good for either then I have nothing bad to say about a Garret and never owned one
Cover is a higher flowing casting with 3" slip discharge they clam 60-100 hp? I think the cover is a 9.5" over the 9"std and the volute larger. I would get it with the 1.1 A/R .you think about the 476 or 478 at all?
Ive been running the journal bearing 42 for two seasons. Ive been really happy with it. Had to get it rebuilt over the winter cause the dust cover warped and took out the turbine. One rebuild for two years of use seems pretty good in my book.
With no Gate it chokes out real bad. The 87mm wheel is much better but much more $$$$$$.
