Out of curiosity, What is the 380's Garret equivalent? I've used 372's with T4 hotsides in the past but never a 380. Is it 47r territory or what? Maximum flow?

thats what a stall and 2-step is for... most people who drag race arent worried about the low end

It is a 80mm compressor 83mm turbine, .9 t-4 housing. It is a s400 based charger but when you put a t-4 on a s400 based charger it is considered a s300 series. If i had a t-6 housing on my charger it would be considered a s480 but since it is a t-4 its a s380. You cant get a 80mm compressor wheel in a s300 series charger to begin with. Its a funny way how they describe their chargers. I found a chart once upon a time and it said it was compaired with a 47-88. How much truth their is to that i dont know. I was told it would spool great like a smaller charger due to it having an extended tip turbine wheel. I will have to find the paper to find the flow#.

Gotcha. Bullseye was just starting to get popular when I left the car industry and moved back to Tx so I didn't get to do a lot with them. We did build an alcohol single cam honda with a Bullseye turbo that went 8.90's at 164 on 26" tires and a couple of high 9/low 10 second street cars with 2 liter motors and 372's. I was impressed with them, especially for the price. My old race car has gone bottom 10's at low 150's through a stock tranny with a 2 liter and an S372. I was building a 2.2 liter motor for it off the same turbo using AEM EMS to try to run high 9's but I just completely lost interest and parted it out as I had been doing it so damn long I got bored with it or something. Still miss the track but I've been clean for 2 years now with no relapses lmao.

You're definately going to have a sick sick sick setup there. The turbo moving the air of a 47-88 can put up some serious numbers. I don't know if you know who Richard Homer is (owns Majestic Motorsports in NC, white wheel standing supra) but his current setup if he hasn't changed it is a 47-88 and some motor cocaine and I believe that car made 1500ish on boost alone. I didn't have anything to do with that car but had a hand in his first two 42r cars and his 3rd 45r car before he decided to go big and build an actual race car.
