Borg Warner S300sxe on 20b?
Curious, how do you have the B, C, & D ground wires wired from those coils? I ask because if those wires are joinded together as a ground, you will have ignition breakup in the upper rpm's. David Hayes just recently had his wiring corrected after a recent dyno session.

also t-von, you dont have stock ports, they help alot.

share you injector pulse width at a specific MPH. lets get some data on this. lets see who has the lowest Inj P/w and they are getting the best MPG. i thought the way to do it was 13.5 afr and as much timing as possible, but i did some research on negative split for cruise and leaning it out as much as possible a while back, havent done it myself yet, working on tuning power right now

I'll just say that I don't have you typical PP setup and I'm still experimenting. My new connectors just showed up to rewire my coils. I stupidly didn't leave enough wire on the original connectors when I wired them the 1st time. As soon as I get everything hooked back up, I'll get those pulse width numbers.
Chris originally ganged all the grounds together (he was the one who pioneered the use of these coils on a rotary after all), but soon discovered that was not the best way to do it. Ignition breakup at high boost/rpm as everyone else is mentioning. Now power ground goes directly to battery terminals and the others go to rotor housings. Not sure if you have a revised harness or not. It's easy to fix if not.

It has a v-band outlet and im running a 4-inch downpipe.
Planning out a 20b project and wanted to see if one of the S300sxe turbos would be a decent match for a 20b? Looking to make around 500-600whp between 15-20psi. I was looking at maybe a s369sxe with T4 .96 open scroll
s360 .88 open on a street port S4 13bt making 475whp @20psi and I want something similar in response to that turbo

Bud, I'm running this exact turbo (sxe69) on my street port 20B. At the turbine limit around 17psi... the 1.0 a/r is just too small... I need a bigger rear, but BW don't go bigger in the 300 range.

Not sure if a larger one could be made/modded to fit..

If you step up to an S400, there are different turbine wheels available. 83mm, 87mm, 96mm, & 110mm. You can look those phi charts on Borg Warner's Match-Bot, but here are some quick numbers.
An 83mm with a 1.0A/R flows about 9.4% better than a 80mm S300 with the 1.0A/R
An 83mm with a 1.1A/R flows about 13.8% better
An 87mm with a 0.9A/R flows about 18.1% better
An 83mm with a 1.25A/R flows about 22.5% better
An 87mm with a 1.0A/R flows about 26.9% better
An 87mm with a 1.1A/R flows about 31.3% better
The standard S475 comes with a 96mm 1.32A/R turbine.
That monster flows 45.8% more than the 80mm 1.0A/R
There are FOURTEEN turbine and housing combinations on the S400. Pick your poison.

I think I may go with the S472SX-E with a 1.1 rear. Should make great power at a lower psi and will have room to grow. The response should be decent. Choosing a turbo is a pain in the ****! lol
What kinda hp and target boost are you ariming to acheve. I havent decide which turbo I plan to use for my 20b. I do have a brand new S475 with a T6 1.10AR hot side but I feel like its a overkill for my 20b. The Borg Warner S472-SXE seems interesting and a better choice for a streetport 20b.
