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!

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
