What is the primary benefit of the forged-milled aluminum compressor wheel?

The forged-milled aluminum compressor wheel is lighter than traditional cast wheels. This reduced rotational mass allows the turbocharger to spin up more quickly, leading to faster boost response and improved performance at lower engine speeds.

What material is the turbine housing typically made from and why?

The turbine housing is typically made from cast iron. This material is chosen for its excellent heat resistance, allowing it to reliably handle the high temperatures generated by exhaust gases without deforming or failing.

Are there any restrictions on shipping this turbocharger?

Yes, this turbocharger is not CARB approved and therefore cannot be shipped to California. Please check local regulations regarding emissions compliance for your specific location.

Product Details

The BorgWarner K36 turbocharger features a forged-milled aluminum compressor wheel, a design choice that significantly reduces rotational mass. This allows the turbo to spool up faster, meaning you get boost pressure sooner in the RPM range. This turbocharger is built for serious performance applications where maximizing airflow and power output is the primary goal. It's a well-built unit designed to handle the demands of high-output engines.

This K36 model is known for its robust construction and advanced aerodynamic design, which work together to improve efficiency and durability. The turbine housing is typically made from cast iron, chosen for its ability to withstand high exhaust gas temperatures. BorgWarner has a long history in turbocharger technology, and this unit reflects that experience with features aimed at reliable performance under stress. It's a substantial piece of equipment, often chosen for performance builds where a significant increase in horsepower is desired.

When installing a turbocharger like the K36, it's crucial to ensure your engine's supporting systems are up to the task. This includes proper fuel delivery, engine management tuning, and an adequate cooling system. Because this turbocharger is not CARB approved, it cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding fitment and setup for your particular vehicle or application.
