Dave @ BD Power response to, "Is this turbo available to the public yet?
There was plenty of discussion about it before it was available but I haven't heard of anyone running one as of yet.
Can you discuss any of the technical aspects of the turbo so we have an idea of what to compare it to?"
reason we don’t like giving specifics on inducer sizes and turbine housing sizes, etc… although we will, is because giving just some of the specifics can make the Super-B program look generic and easily compared to other turbos on the market using “similar” set ups. The Super B’s engineering and components may be similar to other set ups but are carefully matched and fully tested to provide the broadest efficiency range in the industry.
There is a lot of research and engineering that goes into matching turbo components for the Super B program to insure they will be effective at producing an efficient charge of boost for a wide range of applications, rather than a few specific trucks. Quick spools up times while maintaining top end effectively as well as keeping EGT’s low at all boost and RPM ranges is very challenging and not easily achieved with most generic turbo charger(s) today.
Reading all the replies from a poll that I posted on this forum a while back called “What Turbo Are You Running” showed me the many different set ups guys were running on their Cummins motors. What I noticed right away was the inconsistency in the performance that was being reported, while one person was happy with a certain set up and a specific turbo(s) another person was unsatisfied with a different performance setup and the same turbo(s). The reason we are seeing so much inconsistency is that most of the turbo being sold on the market are designed and tested on a specific truck within a certain HP range. What you see on your truck may be completely different than what someone else gets on their truck with a different chip and injector set up. A lot of the threads were starting to get real technical with guys posting formulas on creating single and twin turbo setups, most of which the average end users could not to understand with out being a turbo engineer or having a good understanding of how complex turbo chargers can actually be. My advice to the average consumer is… leave the engineering to the engineers and keep it simple! Don’t spend thousands of dollars and hours of time following what one person created for their specific truck only to find it is not effective on your truck. Go with what is already proven, comes complete, and has a warranty and instructions!
A lot of engineering has gone into set up of the Super B program to insure we get a wide range of use out of them to accommodate all applications and be flexible enough to power a wide range of trucks and applications from racing, to towing, from stock HP to 1000HP.
We believe with the 4 different options the Super B Single, The Super B Special, The Super B Twins and the Super B Special Twins we will be able to cover every application from towing to racing or both!
So to answer your questions LOL
Inducer size 64mm
Compressor housing A/R . 55
Max flow 80lbs per minute (with extended fin tip design)
