ok, so other than one having a t4 rear a/r and the other having either a t4 or t6 housing, what are the difference between the s372 and s472?
The s400 and s300 terms are used so freely its becoming confusing.
I spoke to mike in Miami (miketurboinc.com) and in our discussion he jumped from a 366 to a 472, so Im lost now.
Can some one clarify this?
The thing is, I know I can achieve 10's and make just under 600 with a s366 while staying under 25 psi(with supporting mods)... but what if I want to get more later on...
I dont want to come up short or have to boost 40+ psi to make anything more(exaggerating here), or am I underestimating the s366.. then he brings up the s472 and s474... so Im wondering what the hell happened to the s372/s374.
Edumacate me guys

i got this from bill at bullseye, what are your thoughts on this, is he correct?
'If you are not familiar with it, the Race Cover Adds $308.00 to the turbo and will make between 50 and 100 hp at the wheels depending on the combination. It also drops back pressure while helping spool quicker'
so i said
'How does the cover drop back pressure, isnt that a larger rear a/r that only does that?'
he replied with
'Anytime you unshroud the compressor wheel you will lower back pressure, it outflows the factory pc.'
is he saying because the housing flows better the comp wheel has to work less hard to push the air out of the comp housing as ive never heard anything like this before

S300 and S400 are different CHRA's. Some people base it off the turbine wheel, and some base it off T4 vs T6 housings. The way I would differentiate the S372 and S472 is: S372 would use the 83mm turbine wheel, and the S472 would use the 96mm turbine wheel.

Ok, heres the lay out. I was given the option of a s366 Rear a/r .90 or s472/4 rear a/r .84.
Im looking to go no more than 630-50ish whp tops at the track.Figure 450 is plenty for the street. The car will have an extended streetport and all other supporting mods.
It's a street/ drag car(more street(no highways, lots of round abouts, so drivabilty would be nice).
low 10's capable 9's are fine.( I know driver has alot to do with this part )
I just dont want a turbo that will not drop off up top, or a turbo that is a lag monster.
I dont want to boost past 30 psi either.
Im also wondering what spool up will be like on these two turbos.
Hope I wasnt too confusing. lol

There is quite a difference between 450 and 600whp. An extended streetport will help spool, but you would still want the 72mm to be enough. There is a slightly smaller BW turbo that might work, but Im not positive if the turbine wheel would be enough.

In the burnout box...

Either a S372 or S374 will do the job. You'll need a 1.15 a/r on the turbine housing. If you want a really quick street car go with the S366xl. You'll be capable to make 600whp and spool up at a rapid rate.
I'm quite confident that the S366xl will be able to make more than 600whp with its improvements but if you really want to chase those horsepower gods go with the 72 or 74mm wheel...

Again, nothing personal but if I'm wrong please give me some examples of how you think it's not a good setup...
Indian, I sent you a pm...

Nothing personal, but I'm quite sure you're absolutely incorrect without some supporting data. I've seen at least one person on here that made 610whp on the s366. With access to the new cover that promotes airflow to the compressor I don't see anyone making any less power.
