BorgWarner Turbocharger SX S400

If you're looking to significantly increase the power output of your diesel truck or performance build, a larger, more efficient turbocharger like the BorgWarner SX S400 is a key component. This turbocharger is designed to move a lot more air than stock, allowing your engine to burn more fuel and produce substantially more horsepower and torque. It's a popular choice for those building custom applications where maximizing airflow and performance is the primary goal.

The SX S400 series from BorgWarner is well-known for its robust construction and ability to handle demanding conditions. It features a cast aluminum compressor housing and a heavy-duty turbine housing, built to withstand the high temperatures and pressures associated with significant boost levels. The compressor wheel is designed for improved airflow efficiency, which helps reduce lag and provides a broader powerband compared to smaller turbos. This particular model, part number 177285, is a common selection for many high-performance diesel applications, offering a solid balance between airflow capacity and responsiveness for its size.

When installing a turbocharger of this caliber, it's important to ensure your engine's supporting systems are up to the task. This includes proper fueling, an upgraded exhaust system to handle the increased flow, and an engine management system capable of tuning for the new airflow characteristics. Because this turbocharger is not CARB approved, it cannot be shipped to California. Always consult with a professional installer or tuner to ensure proper setup and to maximize the performance and longevity of your new turbocharger.
