What is a turbocharger cartridge?

A turbocharger cartridge, also known as a CHRA (Center Housing Rotating Assembly), is the core of the turbocharger. It contains the compressor wheel and turbine wheel connected by a shaft, along with the center housing that provides lubrication and cooling. This cartridge is what spins to create boost.

What vehicles or engines is this cartridge typically used for?

This BorgWarner SX S400 cartridge is commonly used in high-performance diesel engines. It's a popular choice for aftermarket builds and upgrades on trucks and other heavy-duty applications where increased horsepower and torque are desired.

Product Details

If you're building a high-performance diesel engine and need a robust turbocharger core, the BorgWarner SX S400 cartridge is a solid choice. This is the heart of a turbocharger, containing the compressor and turbine wheels, along with their housings. It's designed to replace the core assembly in an existing S400-series turbocharger, making it a key component for engine tuners and builders looking to upgrade or rebuild their forced induction system.

This cartridge is well-known in the performance diesel community for its durability and airflow capabilities. It features a 73mm compressor wheel inducer and a 74mm turbine wheel exducer, designed to support significant airflow for engines making substantial power. The robust construction means it can handle the high boost pressures often found in modified diesel applications. It's a popular option for those looking to achieve improved performance without replacing the entire turbocharger assembly, provided the existing housings are compatible.

When installing a turbo cartridge, it's important to ensure your existing turbocharger housings are clean and free of damage. This cartridge is designed as a direct replacement for the core assembly in compatible S400 turbochargers. Proper oil and coolant supply lines are critical for the longevity of any turbocharger, so ensure they are clean and unobstructed before installation. This part is a significant upgrade for those seeking more power from their diesel engine.
