We just tested the BorgWarner 363SXE turbo with a 68mm turbine in a .70 t3 housing. We ran this through the same two tests as all the other dyno tests we have done. The first is unloaded from 1300 to 3200rpm. Then, we add a 5500lb load and go from 1800 to 2800.
First Run – Unloaded Dyno to 3200RPM
Results from the test show peak power around 555 at 2300rpm. Peak torque for the unloaded 363SXE came in at 1,266lbs. Not too bad.
Second Run – 5,500lb Loaded Run to 2800RPM
The loaded run hits the same numbers on power, 555.
We then compared it to the 362SXE and the 364SXE so you could see how it compares to those two. The BorgWarner 362SXE comes up quicker than 363SXE.
However, we didn’t like the disparity we were seeing between these three, so we ran one more test with the 363 to see if we could get numbers in line with what we expected.
Was it driver error, or could we figure out the issue? The results of a second run were better, but the 363 still fell behind. Average horsepower has the 363 last, but we don’t think it’s representative of what this turbo can do.
We’re not sure why this test turned out like it did, but as you can see, all these turbos are super close. We’ll have to give this one another test going forward to see what else we can squeeze out of it.
