"We are pleased to welcome Tony
Kanaan and the FXMD Acura to SEMA," said Frederic Lissalde,
President and General Manager, BorgWarner Turbo Systems. "Their
competitive performance drives them to take the lead on the
racetrack. This same spirit drives everyone at BorgWarner to create
and deliver our innovative technologies."
During the SEMA Show, BorgWarner will feature its compact
EFR-7163 turbocharger, the official turbocharger of the 2014 IZOD
IndyCar® Series season. The EFR-7163 turbocharger
combines the responsiveness and compact packaging of a B1
turbocharger with greater flow capacity to achieve up to 550
horsepower. The lightweight Gamma-Ti mixed-flow turbine features
innovative geometry to increase turbine flow while the optimized
compressor wheel manages as much flow capacity as a larger
conventional wheel. The lightweight aluminum bearing housing also
reduces the turbocharger's overall weight by approximately 2
pounds.
In addition, BorgWarner will present its current EFR
turbocharger line, which features race-proven Gamma-Ti turbine
wheel technology with a range of units supporting 225 to 1,000
horsepower per turbocharger, as well as its AirWerks turbocharger
line, which includes the competition-ready S and K series
supporting a range of 145 to 1,700 horsepower per turbocharger. For
