The sxe is supposed to be a better turbo. They come with 360’ thrust bearings. This new 369 flows the same as a regular s472. It will spool faster and I can compound over it later when it’s built motor time.
New setup is done

Just watch overspeeding or barking the 369, and oil feed/drain sizing and volume is critical. They arent very forgiving in those situations. Been reading a few threads at Comp about guys doing those very things and destroying their turbos in short order.
I have noticed it wants to bark pretty easy.. even my old vgt would bark a lot of times when I hit lockup. If I’m getting up to speed on freeway around 15-20lbs boost and hit lockup at 50 she barks. Vgt did it too.
I hit 50psi on it last night, didn’t happen for awhile though. Idk if it was 4th or 5th but when it shifted and got down in lower rpms it held a steady 50psi. Likes to sit right around 44-45 though

Im having to send in my s369 something going on with it I think its a twin kit alignment issue binding the housing, you have to break loose the wheel when you first turn it like its binding up. Other than that I love it thing spooled amazing at first! Congrats man on the install.
The 475 is fun with the 100s on the race truck. I have 45 overs I could throw on the daily and get a sportsman and a smaller 400 i bet it would be a blast to drive. I do want to be able to tow with the daily still but it's a Very rare occasion. If the 369 barks alot I don't think it would go well with the stick shift without a bov.
Question for you guys. Found this block local, do you guys think that cylinder could be cleaned up? If so I think I’m gonna pick this thing up.
The webbing is a little weaker in block is all. If that block is close enough just go and feel any grooves. Doesn't look like it cracked out so unless it melted through to the outside it should be fine I would think.
It hard to tell how bad it is in the picture. But looks a lot similar to what mine did. Had to bore mine 40 over to clean it up 20 over might've been okay but needed to order pistons before it was bored so I just went 40 over.
Is a 40 over bad? Any negative effects going to a 40? The guy said theres no scuffs on the cylinder wall. That little area that looks bad he said is from rubbing his finger there.
Could be from his finger. It's just so hard to tell in a picture. Talking out of my ass here but my only experience with a bored out cylinder is MX bikes. They generally rev slower and sign off early but have gobs or torque. Also seemed to break cranks more once bored. Again I know it's a completely different application and power dilivery that's just the only experience I have to go off of.
I've never got my 69sxe to bark, yet I never chop the throttle after a WOT pull. Doesn't bark on lock up either.
