7.3 compound turbos

GRN250 · Mar 29, 2015

Have read through several threads on 7.3l compounds but didn't find what I wanted to know. Would a S366 and GT4202 be a good match for compounds? I had intended to use a S366/S482 combination but already have the S366/GT4202 in my garage. My goal is mid to low 700hp range and still be able to tow. My motor is built to withstand this power (rods, piston work, heads worked,block filled, etc) as is my transmission (BTS). Has anyone used these turbos in a compound setup? Thanks.

There's a bolt in kit for compounds with everything needed in the classifieds. Save the trouble and just buy that.

4202 is like 75mm inducer. Way to small to run as an atmo, could run it as a single though

Definitely the most cost effective way to go. To the OP, what size injectors are you planning on running?

GRN250 · Mar 29, 2015

Thought about running 300/200 injectors but haven't purchased any yet.

I think you might make your hp goal, but the 42 is gonna be a little small. Should do 600, though.

If I was going to build a twin setup I would do it 1 of 2 ways. A 38r/gt45. Or a 4088r/gt47

For 200% nozzles I think a s364.5 fmw and an s483 would be sweet

You know what I mean. Let's not start this 3 year old arguement over compounds and twins.

2 fmw turbos for under $3,000, it's crossed my mind to.

I'm going to do a fmw 362/480 with my 250/200's but I'm going for a very responsive tow setup,could care less about power,that being said I did 670hp in my single cab Saturday with a s475 cracked headers and 18psi lower than normal boost so you could hit 700 with just that 4202

why not a 38r? be more responsive then a journal bewring turbo...

I already have a t4 mount and the 362 is considerably cheaper to buy and rebuild if/when that time would come

10-4... side note, how often do you hear of a 38r needing rebuilt... dont believe i have heard it yet on this forum...

They are not really rebuildable, and there have been a few people who have trashed them in compound setups.

I agree don't hear about it a lot, but I know a couple guys Personally who have popped them and I'm pretty hard on parts
