What is the main advantage of the 360-degree thrust bearing?

The 360-degree thrust bearing is designed to handle higher axial loads that occur during turbocharger operation. This robust design contributes to the turbocharger's overall durability and longevity, especially under demanding conditions.

What does FMW signify on this BorgWarner turbocharger?

FMW stands for Forged-Milled Wheel. This indicates that the compressor wheel is manufactured using a forging process followed by milling. This method results in a strong and lightweight wheel that can withstand high rotational speeds and improve airflow efficiency.

Can this turbocharger be shipped to California?

No, this BorgWarner S400 SX-E turbocharger is not CARB approved. Therefore, it cannot be shipped to California due to emissions regulations.

Product Details

BorgWarner is well-known for its robust and reliable turbocharger systems, and the S400 SX-E FMW 360 Thrust Turbocharger continues that tradition. This unit is designed as an upgrade to the 171702 model, offering improved performance for demanding applications. It features a 360-degree thrust bearing, which is crucial for handling the high axial loads that turbochargers experience under boost, contributing to its durability and longevity.

The S400 SX-E series is built with performance in mind. The FMW designation indicates a forged-milled compressor wheel, a well-built component known for its strength and ability to withstand high rotational speeds and temperatures. This design helps to improve airflow and boost response compared to older or less advanced compressor wheel technologies. The turbocharger's construction prioritizes reliability, ensuring it can handle the stresses of increased engine output. While this turbocharger offers significant performance potential, it's important to note that it is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California due to emissions regulations.

When considering an upgrade like the S400 SX-E, it's essential to ensure your engine's supporting systems are up to the task. This includes fuel delivery, cooling, and exhaust flow. Proper tuning will also be critical to maximize the benefits of this turbocharger and ensure safe operation. Please consult with a qualified professional to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle and performance goals.
