AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Sept. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner has expanded its line of AirWerks®
series turbochargers with eight enhanced models, designated by the
"-E" in the model name. Two new S200SX-E and six new S300SX-E super
core configurations (turbochargers without turbine housings) are
now available to the aftermarket through authorized performance
turbocharger distributors. Engineered for car and truck
enthusiasts, these high-performance units feature forged milled
compressor wheels, and pre-machined speed sensor and boost ports.
Additionally, the S300SX-E sports a 360-degree thrust bearing for
improved thrust capability and reliability. Delivering up to a 3
percent increase in compressor efficiency and up to 25 percent more
flow within the same frame size, these new AirWerks super cores
offer a significant increase in performance and resulting power.
The SX-E units are sold in a super core configuration, giving the
performance distributor optimum inventory flexibility and assembly
options. Companion SX series turbine housings are sold
separately.
"BorgWarner is expanding our successful AirWerks series to add
more performance options for car and truck enthusiasts," said
Frederic Lissalde, President and General Manager, BorgWarner Turbo
Systems. "Many of the new features have been proven on our premium
EFR™ (Engineered For Racing) turbochargers, the official
turbocharger of the INDYCAR Series for several years. Customers
will appreciate the powerful boost and reliability as well as more
opportunities for convenient customization."
BorgWarner's AirWerks series offers a customizable replacement
turbocharger for applications where ancillary items such as
blow-off valves and external wastegates are already configured and
are in-field serviceable. Compressor wheels are forged prior to
milling for added strength and durability. By reducing inertia and
increasing air flow, BorgWarner's extended tip technology enables
the compressor wheel to perform like a larger, heavier wheel and
deliver faster spool-up with more powerful boost. In addition,
pre-machined speed sensor and boost port bosses allow users to
fine-tune their set up, reducing additional fabrication costs.
Compressor inlet and outlet connections are designed to
conveniently fit standard filters and hoses.
The new AirWerks S200SX-E super cores are available in 52 mm and
57 mm inducer sizes. The S300SX-E super cores are available in six
new sizes from 61.4 mm to 69 mm. Featuring flexible dual outlet
machining for a V-band or hose connection, S300SX-E super cores
also offer a 360-degree thrust bearing upgrade for improved thrust
capability and longer turbocharger life. For more information,
