Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone knows if Garrett make twin scroll turbos? Their website only seems to list the different turbos a/r sizes, flange types and whether they are ball bearing or not, but I can't find anything related to twin scroll / divided housings... any ideas?

Thanks!

Garrett only make single scroll turbine housings for the GT2554R - GT3582R range .

In the larger frame BB series ie T4R and GT4088R you can get twin scroll turbine housings .

Your typical Skyline owner won't spend the brass on good manifolds TS turbos and external gates .

The factory solution was twin parallel turbos which achieves much the same thing .

Thanks for that... I was hoping Garrett made some of their smaller turbos in DBB + twin scroll but it looks like they don't - I am after a smaller twin scroll turbo for a custom build.

Oh well, I'll keep on looking :-).

Thanks!

Depends where you want to go . Increasing the power in an already heavy , and front heavy at that Skyline , is going to be expensive to feed as fuel climbs towards the inevitable $2 per liter .

If you want something in the lighter/nippier/more agile - and frugal class I think Evo Lancers ie E6 are a better bet .

Evo's have twin scroll exhaust manifolds and turbos std from I think E4 or 5 up .

Forced performance is cleaning up in the US developing better turbos based on the E9 housings and the soon to be released FP HTA Green promises to be pretty good . It will bolt onto E5-8 with E9 factory plumbing as well .

To easy , A .

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
