let it loose Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I have a 97 mechanical Bosch injected E7 350hp and I want to upgrade the turbo on it. I plan keeping the stock injectors and leaving the pump alone. Is there a better turbo than the stocker? I forget what turbo is on there now, I'll have to look.I found this one, it seems to be a good price but I'm not sure if will bolt up the same.http://www.iratediesel.com/store/buy-online/?slug=product_info&products_id=41 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33581-e7-350hp-turbo-options/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullfuel01 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 You should keep stock turbo and swap injector for more power. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33581-e7-350hp-turbo-options/#findComment-217698 Share on other sites More sharing options...
let it loose Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Well, the stock turbo is pushing 250,000 miles. I'm not sure how much boost that old boy has left in him.

rsb502 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 just 250k? I have an 85 E9 on the stock turbo, not sure of the mileage, had several well over 300k in trucks. I would call Antrim DIesel in PA, they are the guys to get the hot rod Mack info from, I think the Borg Warner 171701 or 171702, probably the 701 could be a sweet upgrade, just remember almost any upgraded turbo will require 5" exhaust, which I think they need anyway.

rsb502 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 check out the s400sx-1 the 71mm should be pretty sweet but run it by Antrim to be sure.http://www.turbodriven.com/en/performanceturbos/airwerksDimensionalReference.aspx Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33581-e7-350hp-turbo-options/#findComment-217779 Share on other sites More sharing options...

let it loose Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Never mind, I found one for $850. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33581-e7-350hp-turbo-options/#findComment-217789 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Yep around $850, I wont order one unless it comes from a reputable diesel shop I would much rather buy it locally and I know its not coming from c=some jack leg off ebay, I have a local BorgWarner dealer that got me the same price I found on EBAY for the 171702 and the big boy I need so no need to try to order from someone that may send me one that's been dropped and kicked across the floor. The best part about the Borg Warner SX400 turbos is they have multiple housings to fit each one so you can tailor the A/R and boost to fit your engine and the bare housings aren't that bad, most are about $200.
