Is this Schwitzer worth it?

[97gst_spyder]

So is this Schwitzer worth either running it as is on my 2g or getting a BEP housing?

What's characteristics of this turbo??? LBS per min wise?? What's your goal for your car is the question and that turbo might be for you. I love the idea of TS honestly, all comes down to what's your goal in the end man.

I have no idea, thats why I posted it....

 

[Bud92gsx]

Since when does Arnold schwarzenegger make turbo's..

 

[97gst_spyder]

Its a Holset or Borgwarner company.

 

[BoredDSM]

Definately a Borg Warner but looks to be one of there older style turbos. Those are the older style wheels so my best guess would be it is not nearly as efficient as the new extended tips with the width enhancement. Better off picking up a cheap s256 and running that instead.

How do you attach an exhaust to that thing? Maybe it's a vband, it just struck me as well rather stark on that side.

V-band clamp.

Well that helps! I was searching for S2EL not 52EL. Many more references now.

 

[97gst_spyder]

Yes, it's a S2EL-209. Replacement for early 90's dodge diesels. 50.5 compressor inducer. Idk the turbine stuff.

Bingo. Borg's version of the old H1C used in that era.

If you're getting the turbo cheap and upgrading the compressor, sure it's worth it....but if you're buying it to run as-is you may be disappointed. These units weren't designed to be airflow monsters.

How much is the upgraded compressor wheel and compressor housing?

I'm running a 2.0l, and wanting a full spool of 4k or less... Only really looking for 20-25psi at most, but I need reliability. I DD this car 75miles plus 5 days a week.

Also, I can get this for $200, and its new. Just to throw that out there.

Who knows? Get in touch with Bullseye Power- they can help you turn this thing into a beast.

 

[97gst_spyder]

Ok, I'll call them today.

Last thing about the T3 housing. Is that a housing I should keep? Does the manifold need to be divided as the flange on the housing is?

 

[JusMX141]

If you want to give up around 1500rpms of spool you can use an open T3 manifold on this housing...if not, you should definitely check into getting a true twin-scroll manifold.

Ok, sounds good!
