BorgWarner Turbochargers Now Available at Summit Racing

Get your hairdryer from one of the biggest names in the business. Summit Racing carries a nice selection of BorgWarner turbochargers to add some serious scoot to your street machine or race car:

AirWerks Turbochargers
Developed from experience with GM Racing’s sport compact drag racing program, the AirWerks Turbochargers feature “S” generation compressor wheels with extended tip technology. This design feature promotes greater airflow by using a low mass/low-inertia wheel that performs like a wheel of greater size and mass. The extended tip technology allows faster spool-up at lower engine speeds while providing plenty of boost at the top end–up to 70 psi depending on the turbo and application.

Summit Racing offers BorgWarner AirWerks turbochargers in S200, S300, S400/SX400, S410, and S500/SX500 configurations.

EFR Turbochargers
The Engineered for Racing (EFR) turbos are standard equipment for every car in the Verizon IndyCar Series. EFR turbochargers also powered winning cars in the Redline Time Attack and World Time Attack series, as well as the American Le Mans Series LMP2 champion-winning cars in 2011, 2012, and 2013. That’s quite a pedigree.

EFR turbochargers deliver quick boost response, powerful performance, and reliable durability in a compact package. EFR turbine wheels are made from titanium aluminide, or Gamma-Ti. Not quite ceramic and not quite metal, the material is very lightweight and demonstrates excellent strength at high temperatures. Since Gamma-Ti turbine wheels weigh 50% less than typical wheels, less energy is required to spin them up to speed. That means really quick boost response.

Other features include:
• Patent-pending dual ceramic ball bearing cartridges provide more thrust capacity, durability and turbine efficiency at low expansion ratios
• Stainless steel turbine housing for increased efficiency, improved durability and corrosion resistance
• Forged milled extended tip compressor wheel
• Water-cooled lightweight bearing housing
• Integrated high-flow wastegate, boost control solenoid valve, speed sensor, and compressor recirculation valve

BorgWarner has a useful tool to determine the proper turbocharger for your application. Called Match-Bot, it asks for detailed engine parameters and then selects the best turbo(s) for your project.

Summit Racing also carries BorgWarner turbocharger housings and cartridge assemblies to repair or upgrade your turbo without having to buy a brand new unit.
