lol. how did I know that would be your response. what does the size of a compressor wheel have to with it being considered a "big" single?
wouldnt the turbine side of the charger have more effect on "spinning it easier" than the compressor side?
and if I use your logic here, since you have a 83mm turbine and I have an 87, you dont have a big single either.

a larger turbine adds rotational mass, however it also captures more exhaust energy. Its being driven by exhaust gasses whereas the compressor side adds aditional rotational mass and also has a larger area to grab and pull in more air, resistance.
I'm changing my plans from twins due to frustration dealing with flake sellers and stuff not working out. So I'm thronging about doing something smaller for now then compound over it.
I understand i was just trying to make the point that calling something a big single or not a big single based on compressor wheel size doesnt seem like a good fit, and moreover that the turbine side (A/R, turbine size) would have more of an affect on spool up than the size of the compressor wheel.
I'll second this, drove around on a 366 for over a year and had no real complaints about it.

I guess neither of us understand each others "logic" here so I will leave it at that.
Isn't it just safe to say an s300 charger is a small single and an s400 charger is a big single... :thumb:
Big housing small housing is the way I look at it. Compressor side is more the application portion in my eyes.
You're right. I don't understand your logic, hence the reason I poked fun at it. By all means feel free to explain. My point was saying a 466 is not a big single cuz it's a 67 compressor wheel is not an accurate statement. For an extreme example here- I could say I have a 466 with a t6 housing and a 1.32 ar as a single. And I can have a 472 with a t4 1.0 or .9 housing. Is my 66 still going to spool quicker because it's smaller?
IMO once you are into the realm of any 400 frame charger you are talking about "big singles" .
