Re: BORG WARNER GM-8 USABLE FOR HIGH HP B16A??
Inefficient design for an overzelous goal is the biggest factor. You'll no doubt get 300~350 but 400 hp would be pushing that turbo for all it's worth and is more than potential for disaster given the right circumstance/lack of proper tuning. Don't forget that forced induction has you on a dyno with little of the same effect that the ambient air would give your intercooler if you were driving on the highway at the same speed. Before you go hoping on and going for broke, check what this retard did:

He was running a PTESCM60 at 35+ psi. Not a big deal you don't trhink right? Untill you get into the details:
http://www.precisionturbo.net/turboc...tegory_id=3024
My bet is that they are rebuilt using TO4E or TO4B wheels. An example would be the SCM-4431E which has a 2.295" exducer and a 2.290" inducer giving it a 60 trim. Conveniently, that is the same size TO4E 60 trim.
The SCM-6027E has a 3.000" exducer and a 2.320" inducer. How convenient is it that the 60-1 has a 3.000" exducer and a 2.320" inducer as well?
Also interesting to note is that PTE uses a T3 stage 2 and 3 in their turbos.
2.122" minor 2.559" major for the T3 stage 2 and 2.229" minor and 2.559" major for the Stage 3. Both turbines are smaller than the standard T4 turbine or the O through Q trim.
My point is that with either of those turbos, they max out at a 2.8 Pr (roughly 26 psi) so it's not hard to see why the engine blew.
The truly sad part is that none of those guys at the dyno shop took the time to figure out what was really happenign and why.
Ghetto/hack tuning at it's finest.

Re: BORG WARNER GM-8 USABLE FOR HIGH HP B16A??
im using a 40mm external wg its got a 14 psi spring i believe
He's wanting to run 21psi, but I think I'm gonna build him a Megasquirt-II, or he's gonna find a hell of a deal on an AEM before hand.

well ----, so am i 20-24 psi is still within the borgs max pr range though correct?
im pretty sure this motor will survive just fine. its built like a brick shithouse, i guess the only answer is to strap her on and she what she makes. ill limit myself to 20 psi then to stay within the pr range of this badboy. if im ot happy, ill just guy a gt35r

If you're going for 400 hp and beyond, you'd need something like a GT40R with a 56 trim which is closer to 60 lbs/min. if that isn't enough then you could go with a GT 42 in a 56 or 53 trim which would put you above 60 lbs/min. All of which would cost you a boatload more than a T70, 72, or 76.
Are you serious? Your reccomending a GT42 for 400hp on a B16, thats just insanely crazy. And the T-series are only around $400 less than the GT42's.
