"Across the aftermarket, BorgWarner's EFR and AirWerks turbochargers are recognized for their superior performance and SEMA is the perfect venue to showcase them" said Michael Boe, Vice President and General Manager, BorgWarner Turbo Systems Aftermarket. "We strive to offer products that satisfy the specific personal and market needs of our diverse customer base. As a result, we continue to expand our product portfolio with new boosting solutions that enhance the performance of our customers' products."

New this year, BorgWarner will display its new EFR super-cores, the EFR 8474, EFR 9274 and EFR 9280, which maximize air flow in the turbocharger via larger compressor inducer wheel diameters, among other design changes to the compressor stage. With the design changes to the compressor wheel and cover, the latest EFR super-cores will provide up to 200 more horsepower (hp) than previous products.       

BorgWarner also will present its newly available AirWerks S300SX-E 72 millimeter (mm) super-core, its most powerful S300 aftermarket super-core to date. While maintaining the same compact size and near identical ultra-fast response time, the S300SX-E 72 mm super-core can deliver up to 1,100 horsepower, an extra 100 horsepower more than its next highest model.

Show attendees will want to check out Formula Drift 2018 champion James Deane's Worthouse race car, which features a BorgWarner EFR 9180 turbocharger, on display in the booth. In addition, the Worthouse team drivers, James Deane and Piotr Więcek, will be in the BorgWarner booth signing autographs and talking with fans on Tuesday, October 30 between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. (PDT).
