disagree - i see 80wtq & 90whp gains around 5000rpm, thats pretty dramatic.. look at it this way: Originally Posted by azn2nr

The BW S300SX FMW, by far has out performed any of my previous setups... I have spent a lot of time and money trying to make this car a respectable fast daily driver, and had all but given up before Geoff told me about this new BW turbo...This turbo just flat out kicks butt - good boost threshold, makes great power all they way up to my 8000rpms rev limiter, and the boost recover between shifts is just flat out instantaneous...I admittedly was surprise to see the boost threshold of a 35r and the power of a much larger turbo.

here you guys go! this is the low boost run at 1.55 bar boost, red = flat tip blue = cupped tip. obviously the red tip is the winner at this flow rate. I can not find the high boost run on my laptop, its on the other computer. the blue had a slight advantage at the higher boost, but red still spooled faster obviouslyOriginally Posted by azn2nr
id like to see these.

that is 100% incorrect - the billet wheels are typically slightly heavier by a couple grams. I have not seen any single comparison where the billet compressor wheel was less weight. believe it or not many of BW's cast wheels like the S200SX 7670 and S300SX 9180 (66) are just as good as the EFR series' FMW counterparts, they just have a slightly different trim on the compressor side Originally Posted by jkopinga
Billet wheels are MUCH lighter than their cast counterparts. I believe it would be in the region of 30~35% weight saving of the comp. wheel. Looking forward for somebody to do a weight comparison between the 2 compressors. Geoff...??

no this will not happenOriginally Posted by azn2nr
does bw have plans on utilizing fmr technology in 57 and 66mm turbo sizes.

the S300SX3 66 is an excellent turbo - and shares the same turbine blade aero as the EFR. the compressor wheel is also badass, in fact its almost as good as the efr, but way less cost and much better availability. That particular turbo is ONLY available with the cupped tip (the flat tip does not work well on that blade shape and size, so was never put on the market)

your turbo is almost identical to this FMW turbo, its really a great unit!!Originally Posted by Beetspeed
As you know, I have the cupped tip version of that 75mm turbine wheel and I think I haven't even made the turbo sweat much at 400 whp and 1.6 bar boost A little better spool is always welcomed though, but you know that Is the 83mm FMW any lighter in weight then the 83mm cast wheel?
