i have been looking at a turbo that i like but it is a twin scroll and i really didnt want to change my mani to the twin scroll mani. so my question is can i use a twin scroll turbo on a non twin scroll mani and will there be that big of a difference?
Thanks

 

You can sharpen the dividing wall like a knife edge and use it on a non twin scroll setup without any downside but I doubt it will perform any better than a single scroll. Or, if it'S off a huge truck with 1.15 or 1.32 a/r turbne and your engine a 4 cyl with 130-160hp, you can make a block off plate to send all the exhaust flow into only ONE of the 2 holes to accelerate spool up a little.

 

cool cool no i have an h23. anyone have an idea of what turbo size i should use on this engine?

 

h23, that's 160 HP right?

You don'T want a T4 turbine on this engine. Unless it's a rare one with low a/r under .60 and a small wheel like N or O trim.

Ideally, for quick response, you want a stage 1 t3/T4 with 0.63 turbine. concerning the compressor, most of the small to medium T4 ones will work. I suggest a T04B S or 54 trim or a T04e 46 trim. I am almost certain the compressor side of your T4 would be worth a try. If you post a picture of it, we can tell you what it is and if it's appropriate or not.

 

i have a t3 saab turbo at the moment and its way to small for the car. yes the h23 is 160hp 2.3L i was thinking about the t3/t4 57 trim but alot of the b series run that one and i am afraid it will run out of steam in the higher rpms. i am not looking to make huge power around 250-300 would be plenty.

 

yeah i know i have an evo mani on my car right now but its not that one and i would rather not have to change over to the mistu turbos ( i just dont like them) i have a t3 mani and still want to be able to use it.
heres my engine bay

 

you're not specific enough, i can build 20 different sizes of t3/t4 57 trim, some too small, some too large, and some just right for the h23. turbine trim and a/r are the most important specs. t04e 57 trim is the one size fits all compressor that everybody know about because it's the only one that is sold all assembled by garrett and that ebay peddlers can push on the market without having to build them. But yeah... t04e 57 will work on the H23. turbine wise it's eaither stage 3 .48 or .63 or stage 1 .63 or even .82 IMO.

 

I'd listen to this man. He should be paid to speak
