Turbo slang/codenames
OK, I'm looking at twins, researching and reading and finding a couple good canidates, but I have no idea where to find them. Not all these but for instance: B2, Big brother, S300, there are others I cant remeber now. I guess the B2 related to the infamous B1. but the S300 or S400???? I see a couple I might use in my planning but having trouble finding them on line. Is there a made up a list of these? anyone???? I understand turbos, just not the slang or code names for 'em.

Someone needs to compile a listing of what all of them are from different companies..... What Garrett turbos are like the Holset turbos, etc..... I dont know much about them, but would like to know if anyone has the information.

From what I remember:
B2 - based on the schwitzer S400, commonly in a 74mm inducer wheel.
Big Brother - based on the same schwitzer, just larger wheels/housings?
B1 - roughly based on the schwitzer s300, many different ex-housings available.
I haven't found a cross reference for different turbos either... there was one floating around that had a listing of cfm or lbs/min, but I was under the impression that it was incorrect. Holset and Garrett guard their compressor maps with care. I've not seen a schwitzer map either. Turbonetics has some excellent reading and maps on their site:

Schwitzer is Borg-Warner turbo systems. The company has undergone lots of name changes, which only confused things more.
KKK became Schwitezer, which became Borg-Warner Turbo Systems.

I found this while trying to find an answer to the same question. So. BD's super b is an s300 right? a B2 is an s400. What is a B1? what about companies like Industrial injection and High Tech Turbo? They modify name brand turbo's right? Which ones?
The reason I'm asking is I've found s300's from anywhere from $950 to $1500. and they look the same with the exception of extended tips and such. Could somebody clarify.

All I know is that an HX35/HT3B is a tried, true, and great setup. The BD twins which use a superB S300 on top and a special S300 on bottom is a very, very, very nice setup (just ask rjohnson). A ksb-1/B2 combo is a great 600+ setup that's pretty streetable as well.

So, should we compile a list of turbo names, modifications and boost/ CFM limits?
I'd be up to it. (Well, I'd be up to nominating BigBlue to be up to it, then taking all of the credit after he finishes...)

So, just playing aroud with a possible format:
S-300: A popular Schwitzer turbo used as a single or top on a twins set-up; also known as a B-1. Modified versions include (a vast array of stuff I don't know).
S-400: A popular Schwitzer bottom turbo; also known as a B-2. Modified versions include the Big Brother.
H1C: The Holset turbo which debuted with the Cummins; available in 12, 14, 16, 18.5 and 21 cm exhaust housings, these turbos provide flexible and consistent air for up to 250 horsepower.
WH1C: A wastegated H1C, replacing the H1C in 1992~ish (maybe?) and available in 12 and 14 cm exhaust housings.
HX-35: The stock Holset turbo from 1994 to (insert proper year) on manual trucks; can be modified to various "levels" of performance through application of money.
HY-35: The stock Holset turbo from (blank to blank) automatic-equipped trucks; it has a 9 cm wastegate housing which makes it suck.
HX-40: These were on something, right?
HT3B: A very large and cheap Holset turbo prolifically used as a very efficient bottom twin turbo.
HX-55: A Holset turbo which has been used as an alternative to the more popular HT3B as a bottom twin.
Something like that good, or do we need something more like an Excel graph?

You would also have to have a separate catagory for Hybrid 35/40's such as the Dodgezilla etc...
The HX-40 comes on the C series Cummins IIRC... Hense the ease of availability.
H1C was the first gen turbo 89-93 in minor variations.
WH1C was on the 94 2nd gens debut. Replaced later with the HX-35.
