Buschur BR500

[tsitalon1]

Hey guys,

I am in the market to buy a new turbo. Money is a factor. I am seriously thinking of the Br500 from Buschur b/c:

500 hp
internal gate
direct bolt on
no creep (they say)

What do you guys think ? this turbo is 995.00 so it's far cheaper than a br20g with external gate and welded on flanges.

They say it will produce full boost around 4k rpm. I believe it's using a 50 trim wheel but that is just a guess.

Does anyone here have one ? what times do people get on them.

I'm thinking that b/c it's buschur, i really shouldn't have any reliability problems from it.

let me know the concensus,
James

The turbo isnt Buschur, its PTE resold by Buschur. They wont tell you the wheels in it. Im sure the turbo is great and all but seriously dont expect 500hip out of it, that was on their race car.

I have the PTE 50 trim (same as the BR500) and the thing rips! Full boost at 3700 rpm (8.8:1 wiseco's and 3" turbo back with 02 eliminator). I have HKS 272's going in soon and that should drop the rpm's some more. It is definately a fine turbo, especially for the price! I'll have some slips next weekend.

Those 272s are going to increase lag not help the turbo spool faster.

I just ordered my BR500, I should see it in about a week

Hope your new turbo works out well. Should be a nice street turbo and good at the track. How would 272/272 HKS cams increase lag? explain?

Big cams make a motors VE go down in lower RPM's in exchange for better VE up top. If your turbo spools in the RPM range where the VE has taken a hit, you will spool slower.

I always thought that with upgraded cams you loose the amount of compression during the compression stroke but increase amount of air per stroke. And that is why you loose torque in the lower rpms. But then again, I may be wrong.

And back on topic. I am also in the market for a turbo. And am trying to decide on what to get. Any info on this turbo would be great.

So you guys who have one chime in

Do you know what VE is? A combination of everything. Total VE is total VE regardless of how it's achieved.

Overlap is what kill the low RPM power of a big cam.

I have 272s w/ a FP Green and I didnt notice any more lag then with the stock cams. It just hits harder now.
