Probably not more efficient... (long) Posted by Jonathan Scupin [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Im not woried :-), jak ![]() |
... unless you design your collector to take advantage of it.
Here's a quick blurb on twin scrolls:
"A "twin scroll" or "divided inlet" means that there are two separate volutes within the turbine housing. The main reason for doing this is to isolate the pulses coming from each exhaust port and maintain more of the pulse energy from each cylinder all the way down to the turbine wheel. There are no differences between the turbine wheels used in open or single inlet turbines compared to those used in twin or divided inlet turbines.
Generally speaking, a divided inlet turbine setup will respond faster and produce boost quicker than single or open design of the same nozzle area, of course this is dependent upon proper execution. The simple fact that a divided housing is used does not guarantee these results.
While it does not cause any problems or harm to run a divided inlet turbine housing on a manifold that is an "open" design, none of the benefits of the twin inlet will be seen."
Hope your arm's healing well, Jak!
Take care,
Jonathan
