Hey guys, one thing I always see happen in these threads is that the Borg turbos seem to naturally get gravitated to, for lots of reasons, they are very interchangeable/customizable, easy to get your hands on and fairly cheap.
So naturally in an internet thread they get tons of play. One thing I find frustrating is that there is never any direct comparison between manufactures turbos, as side by side spreadsheet style comparison.
It would be nice, and I think very helpful to have a database/archive to review.
So what is the Garrett and Holset equivalent to the chargers stated above?
Has anyone put an EFR turbo to good use yet?
I still am torn on ditching my VGT set up and running a straight vane set up. I like the simplicity of a single turbo system and have also been looking into different options and pros/cons of various sizes of turbo.
I like the GTX4294R in a .90 or a 1.01 A/R, the GTX4202R has more to offer on the top end, sure, but I'm only going by paper stats and I'm looking at a fairly tight A/R so I figure the added airflow potential of the 02R won't be utilized like it would with a larger A/R like a 1.15.
I bet if someone really hashed out a solid tune for the 4294 it would spool noticeably better than a 4202 and have better street and tow manners while still putting up very respectable whp and tq numbers
The new GTX4088R looks like it's got plenty of potential for high 600's and would be very street and tow friendly.
We can't leave out marks vgt72 or Chase' 71mm cheetah either, they have booth been proven winners.
I think it's also noteworthy to add that , the GTX turbos require less oil for lubrication and heat dissipation and therefor your engine oil temps should reflect that, I/you would think...
