Product Description
BorgWarner 179171 S400SX3 (S471/83, 1.10 A/R T4) with Race Cover delivers proven AirWerks toughness and high-flow performance. The 71mm S471 compressor and 83/74mm turbine in a twin-scroll 1.10 A/R T4 housing make this a killer single for big-fuel builds or the atmospheric charger in S300/S400 compounds. Race cover (ported-shroud) broadens surge margin and keeps the map stable at higher mass flow.
Fitment & Notes
- Inlet/Outlet: Compressor 5.0" hose / 4.21" V-band; turbine outlet Marmon (varies by housing).
- Flange: T4 divided (twin-scroll). Requires T4 manifold and compatible downpipe/fab parts.
- Center Section: Journal bearings; adjustable compressor/turbine housing orientation.
- Use cases: Universal performance. Popular as single on built 5.9/6.7 Cummins T4 swaps and as low-pressure charger in compounds for Cummins, Duramax, and Power Stroke competition builds.

FAQ
Will the 179171 bolt to my stock manifold?
Not on most light-duty diesels. It’s a T4 divided turbo; you’ll need a T4 manifold and compatible downpipe.
What’s the benefit of the race cover?
The ported-shroud inlet increases surge margin and widens the effective compressor map for aggressive fueling and high mass flow.
Is it streetable as a single?
With adequate fueling, converter/gearing, and supporting mods—yes. For faster spool on smaller displacement or milder fuel, consider running it atmospheric in compounds with an S300 high-pressure turbo.
