Damn J,

You trying to start a wind tunnel testing facility?

Wow, Nice turbo :D

So with that beast on there, what is she going to run... 8's???

It better fkn go 8s every time out, unless I forget to turn on the boost controller, then high 9s are acceptable :D
Honestly with this turbo, the RPM potential of the refreshed motor, and the ability to run 315/60/15 tires (those big bastards will help big time on marginal tracks), the only questionable link is the built AOD. If that holds, it runs 8s----if not it gets a powerglide ;).

And thanks Randy and Bob, I hope the Street Lethal guys post a few more turbo pics. I had to run and only got those cell pics, made my day it was delivered just before I got there and I was very impressed with it.
I've heard a guy in Michigan has a program to take almost 30# out of it for $300, that will probably be a future plan.

why did you go with such a small turbo??!?!?

[pwtmxracing]

good lord what did that thing weigh

To keep the ability to run x275 and classes where the car could be restricted to 88mm. I'm moving close to Milan, MI and they have a class that would be fun that is 88mm max. and this is the best 88mm turbo available except for billet wheel $3000+ dollar deals.
Not building this for any class other than True Street and my demented definition of a streetable track car.
The motor could support a bigger turbo but I wanted to keep the rpm range and cam smaller and this turbo has supported 1700hp in testing, should be enough

Shipping weight was 67# :( , about 11# heavier than the old GT4788.
There is a lightening program available, 30# for $300, actually reasonable if you're a class car.
It really is a big piece, gotta get a pic next to a pop can.

that turbo is a bad bitch. the BW stuff is hard to beat. making a kit for a car in next couple weeks using a smaller version. impressed with how heavy it is!

[biminiLX]

I hope it is and performs like I've been told.
I got it from Reed at Work Turbo (formerly Supernatural Turbo).
He's worked with some top racers and locally with Street Lethal on a few projects, awesome guy to work with if you need a turbo.
He did a lot of testing for BW on these new AirWerks designs, supposedly this same 88mm made 1700hp engine dyno on an 8000rpm 30# 370 SBF!
This was the last pre-production unit available from BW, should almost be available to public now.
What's the turbo/project you're working on?

great looking turbo , how do they get the weight off ? by pollishing the cold side ?

[bgblockelcamino]

i will be using s475 on a stock ls2 GTO. did Garret gt4202 on a 02 camaro last couple years. haven't really messed with any turbos larger than 76mm. more street oriented and try to keep customers on conservative end of things and not chase a number
