Is there a twin scroll housing that would fit this turbine?

I can supply a .84 rear housing in twin scroll. It won't be as responsive. If you have a twin pulse twin gate manifold, you can use the .63 single housing with an ATR45SS-1 to make 450rwkws+ while still have similar response as above.

Have you tested it with the .84 twin scroll rear on a true twin scroll twin gate manifold?

I would be genuinely surprised if it was less responsive [emoji848]

Same thought, a true twin scroll and proper divided setup would be more responsive than a single scroll.

Interesting thing happened around here recently, a guy with a 2litre Subaru running a twin scroll manifold and a open housing .63 GTX3076R decided he was happy with the power he was making but wanted more spool so swapped to a .61a/r divided hotside - using the same exhaust manifold, but changing the up-pipe to suit the twin scroll housing.  The car improved spool by a couple hundred rpm and lost around 50kw @ wheels.

After going through a bunch of diagnostics and deciding there were no other issues or changes other than the housing/flange setup he tried changing to a .83a/r twin scroll housing and it got back within 20kw of the .63 housing, but was also no better spool than with the open housing option.


Again, after further head scratching and messing around he decided to swap back to the original up-pipe and .63a/r housing and boom!  Back to the same power and response he had before trying the divided path.   Definitely not what I would have expected, but it's a thing that happened - unfortunately I am not directly involved so I have no more detail than what I've shared here, I wouldn't count out the possibility there is some other variable at play but realistically the options are pretty minimal... especially when it came back to "full power and response".   The car is definitely performing overall better with the .63 hotside.

Only thing I can think of with the EJ, is the turbo manifold of equal header lengths or is it the usual unequal length business?

The twin scroll turbo manifolds are equal length, which is why a lot of the later Subarus don't sound like 5-cylinder RBs :)

Interesting nevertheless, hopefully my selection of parts will work.

Car is coming out of fab work this week.

Why should twin scroll exhaust manifold and housing make slightly better response. It very dependent on the design of the actual exhaust manifold and of course the firing sequence of the engine. Lets take Rb25det with firing sequence of:

1 5 3 6 2 4

Stock twin pulse log manifold consist bank 1 of: CYC 123, and bank 2 of: 456. 

So the split plus ensures the combusted air shoots straight into turbine housing rather then towards the other side. I've seen customers drilling out the center divider of factory exhaust manifold result in lose of response and power. I'm currently using a merged pulse external gate on a factory exhaust manifold, and by doing that I have lose about 300RPM of response, I think it would partly contributed the this problem and the extra volume external gate plumbing has made up.

Same principle apply to a spaghetti manifolds, but I found its not as tangible as the runners are separated that ends up in a collector. So there will be a bit of a differences assume a properly made twin pulse, twin gated exhaust manifold used on the right size twin pulse turbine housing. 

The advantage of twin gates giving extra flow would mean you can use a smaller housing on a turbo that makes the same top end as a big housing while avoiding the lag.

The theory on split pulse is pretty well discussed these days, reduces the collisions between high pressure pulses and keeps them separate until they are meant to drive the turbine.  I suppose you could say that it should reduce turbulence and as such keep velocity up.

In regards to people removing the divider in the stock manifold, I think of that more like a turning vane than a split pulse - without it there is nothing to make the exhaust flow think that it should just head straight to the other cylinders due the shape angles required to head to the turbine.  I am not sure that has so much relevance in the twin scroll/split pulse discussion, aside from the fact that the only reason that is at all a workable design with a straight 6 is that you have alternating pulses on front and rear three so it makes it less likely to cause bizarre lean outs on certain cylinders.

In terms of the twin gate advantage meaning that a smaller housing can flow like a bigger one, I could be missing something or misinterpreting  - so how do you mean?   

At face value it seems like you are saying that having more gate means you will reduce exhaust manifold pressure, but just having a second gate won't increase the turbine's ability to drive the compressor for a given amount of exhaust gas, so there is no reason for it to open more... the only reason the wastegate would flow more is if the turbine needs less exhaust energy to do it's job.   It's pretty easy to tell where more gate is an advantage, you get boost creep as you aren't relieving enough exhaust gas.   If you relieve more exhaust gas then you lose the energy you need to drive the turbine and you don't hit target boost.  

Apologies if I've misunderstood what you said, keen to hear what you mean or where you are coming from with that one.

I was referring to stock rb25det manifold.  

The twin gate setup, I found its dependent on  the types and shape of turbine wheel as well as size of housing used. I will conduct some experiments later in the year and upload results.

I’m guessing that’s on e85?
Have you done many test with 98ron?

Yes that is on E85. I don't have result of this version on 98 yet. it would be sitting pretty close to 300rwkws on that car. 

by the looks of the graph did the boys at G7 Adelaide do the install in tuning ? if so It looks like ill be giving them a visit! Great stuff Tao!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
