told I couldn't run 6x16 injectors?

I may be wrong, but I thought the main difference was that the super 40 had more shaft strength or better lubrication of the shaft.

The Super has a extended tip intake wheel plus the oiling mods. Of the HX40 line it is the most updated one.

Start fishing around competitiondiesel.com s classifieds. Buy a used 62mm s300. Don't pay 1500 either. That's just stupid when there's 500 of them floating around on sites just like this one for a grand shipped.

I have ran both of BD's single turbos. I really liked the regular Super B for under 400rwhp. When I did my last long list of upgrades I moved up to the BD Special B but its a piece of %!?*. I blew up 2 of them in a couple months. They say one was lack of lube and the other was over heated. Well my pistons aren't melted and I have lots of oil pressure so I don't see how either can be true. They gave me no warranty on either one and I'm a dealer! I would say stay away from the Special B. I liked every thing about it except for the part where it exploded!!!! If you do a bunch of porting and a cam I would run the 64mm or if not then the 62mm.

The problem I'm having is I've heard storys like that about every companies turbos. I've read about HTT's coming apart, II's doing the same. I'm nervous to drop 1500 bucks without feeling confident that I made the right choice, it seems the more I ask the more nervous I'm getting. If anyone knows kta I'd like to talk to him and possibly get one from him.

Every model of turbo you can mention has had a blow up. Some might have been cause by mfging defects. Some might have been caused by the way the person setup the engine and made a wrong choise for the turbo.

All you can do is look at each blown turbo complaint and see what might have caused it. Then stay out of those perimeters

With holset turbo's you can find map charts for the proper operating range. For the S300 series of turbo's there are no map charts for them that I can find. I asked the places I called before I bought my Super40. They all told me no map charts.

You'd be hard pressed to burn 50gph with huge sticks.

whats burnt is prolly a small percentage compared to total fuel flowed tho...

read all three pages and was suprised no one even mentioned a case pressure gage

much less suggested one

or are those a thing of the past?

i bet you guys have a chart now so that no one runs there pump dry

right?

The only turbos that I have ever had come apart were hx35's and 40's and mainly that was from pushing them way past the pressure and turbo speed they were made to handle. The s300-400 series are some great turbos I have run several s300's with no problem and on nitrous and my current alcohol outlaw car runs twin s400 based turbos and I have had no failure yet.
