Well since its the new thing to do i guess ill give the turbo stuff a try. I have a small block (little m) 400 with dart cast 230's, super vic intake, all the goodies. The car is a 81 malibu 3300# with me in it, 400 turbo tbrake and 3.50's in the rear. The car is on nitrous as of now best pass is 6.4 @112 looking to improve this quite a bit. Im not sure if the s500 would benfit over the s400 for my build. what do you guys think.

 

[Honk if parts fall off]

What is the HP and or ET goal? That will determine which one to go with.

The 500 will make more power, but if something in the 400 series meets/exceeds your goals then go with that. There is a sizable weight/size/price difference between the two, as in the 500 is bigger, heavier (20+lb) and more expensive.


Just for example, I use a box stock BW S480 (80mm) on a 355 sbc and have been 5.44 in the 1/8 and 8.50 in the 1/4, weighing 3,545lbs. And thats a turbo tthat can be had for around $1,000.

Just be honest with your goals and pick the turbo based on your goals.

Well hp goal is about 1, 300 I will have a e85 blow trough with about 10:5:1. im leaning towards the s400 I've seen lots of people on here use them. And for the price you csnt beat it.

Contact wild bill at bullseye power, I was up there today and they have some real nice stuff. He will get you squared away and A+ support and service.

Turbine of the 400 will choke up on 400 inches trying to make 1300. Get the 500 or a GT55

I possibly have a s500 88mm for sale.. Pm me if your interested!! Before I sell if it sells it will be sent to Jose to get checked and rebuilt so it will be a brand new turbo!!

 

[sharps-10]

i know this isnt for sale section but i will sell my s500 88mm with a 1.0 a/r that will come direct from jose at forced induction after rebuilt to assure it 100% and for an additional 350 i will include a brand new 1.45 a/r that has never been used...

Wonder what Jose would charge to replace a cast 88 wheel with his new HO wheel?
