Hi there,
Vendor: Speedtech (I may consider DR700 but it locks you into Precision turbos)
WHP Goal: 450whp functional average, 500whp peak --> but close to 500whp average if possible. Hoping to spool before 4K rpm, like around 3.5k to 3.8k and I'll just bang gears if needed.
Fuel: 93 pump gas
Tuning: Potentially @Twisted Tuning since I'm local
Car Goal: HPDE and Autox
Turbo considerations: BW S362 SXE, BW S257 SXE, GTX3076r, GTX3576r
Borg Warner line: I like the idea of OEM durability (I mean... these are on the N55 lol), cheap turbos on the used market and even at retail, and the option to rebuild. I mean BW SXE are like $700 - $800 new and cheaper on the RX7 and Supra forums and FB Groups. Cheaper long term costs and more quality than eBay 17T or 19Ts lol.
Garrett GTX line: I like the idea of water cooling the turbos for better heat management and having 300 to 500rpm to spool a bit quicker. However, I'm not a professional racer, I'm most likely going to do 2 to 3 HPDE sessions, maybe 4 on a good year, and 2 or 3 autox sessions on a good year if budget/timing/other hobbies/family are aligned with the stars. I'm open minded to this option though if the GTX line is considerably light years ahead of the BW SXE line in terms of tech and reliability.
Precision: I've seen too many in-person during my 240sx days have reliability issues on SR20s and KA-Ts. I've heard my EVO and STI friends complain about them too. I know that's a small sample size and people have luck with them, but that's what's biasing my opinion to not step into this space.
