Billet turbo and batmowheel?

co04cobra · Feb 9, 2012

I've been thinking of changing my turbo. Looking for quicker spool up and maybe some more top end power. Here are the specs on current turbo.

Compressor Inducer Bore 68
Compressor wheel Exducer is 94mm (this is the major OD of the comp wheel)
Compressor A/R .66

Turbine Exducer 82mm
Turbine A/R 1.19
T-6 footprint

It looks like the batmowheels are proving out to be a nice upgrade. I know very little about the billet turbos or the batmowheels really. Im just looking for some pros and cons of running one. Current fuel is 300/200s and current charger makes around 45ish psi. Im also right now not looking to WG. The looser housing on this chager I think is helping keep my BP in check. So was thinking tightest housing I would want would be 1.12-1.15?

The only billet turbo wheels I could really find with t-6 or a batmowheel were the S400s around a 71mm. What are the other options? I semi DD the truck ,occassionally light tow, and sled pull 5-6 times a year. If it matters truck also travels a lot through elev. 2500-4500ft. Thanks for any input.

Nobody has any insight? I know HRT has run some custom turbos.

The way I understand it is you can't just buy the wheel you gotta buy the whole turbo for a batmowheel...

That is the way I understand also. Im am wondering who is running or has data logs of say a gt4294 (or similar size) with a billet wheel or batmowheel. Possibilities are maybe a 4294, 4202, and S400s from what I have read so far.

I'm running a hybrid Garrett setup that's a billet 76/83 and it cleans up my 350/200s an spools very nice for a turbo that size.

What are the rest of the specs on your turbo? Do you DD the truck any? That is what im looking for. Input from people running billet wheels or batmowheels with what turbo, fuel, and application.

Nope the truck has a hood stack with no back seat.. It's a puller but when it's on the street it doesn't smoke much. My turbo was originally a 3x3 superfarm turbo then I had the turbo changed to size bigger but I want to change the turbine to around a 88-90

I just finished putting in a S468 with the billet efr wheel. So far I love it. Great spool up, and as far as I can tell so far it cleans up and is a great match for 250/200%.
