Thinking single turbo, got a few questions

Morgan did I read somewhere that your s366 comes with a inconel turbine?

Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto · Jun 9, 2014

It's standard s300 turbine.

All s300 turbines are Made from inconel material

Hellen Keller sent this?

Stroked777 · Jun 9, 2014

Ahh I didnt know that. Is it just s300? And why? I know some what about inconel properties

Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto · Jun 9, 2014

Is there a reason you wouldn't want an inconel turbine? That's one of the better things a borg has going for it.

damn skippy.

I never said I didn't want it. I was just curious as to what it had for a turbine wheel then asked why they use it, to further my understanding

Inconel handles the heat better. Much better for use in a diesel with high EGT's.

I know it handles heat much better but is there a difference ins weight and spool? I don't know if inconel is a heavier metal or lighter

Not much if any heavier, turbine profile and housing size will play more into spool up than the material they are made out of.

Stroked777 · Jun 24, 2014

what is the difference between a s466 and a s366, which would be better on stock fuel

SEABEE08FX4 · Jun 24, 2014

The frame size, a 366 will spool much better on stock fuel than a 466. Smaller lighter shaft/turbine & compressor. But the 466 flows a lot more air, you just won't get it going until middle to end of the RPM band. So driveability will suffer.

with the s300 chassis chargers that are available, and 700hp easily obtainable with one, I see zero need to go to an s400 unless you're shooting for more than that on a single. But the drivability like said suffers quite a bit.

I agree with you for the most part, but I daily drive my truck with a 466 and it's really street-able. Would definitely say that for stock fuel a 366 is a better option.
