mars_volta Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 That was the first thing I noticed about my 05 LGT when I test drove it. It felt like a REAL shifter. Like in a corvette. Not like a floppy loose Saturn cable shifter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutchard Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Here are a few pics I took while under the car today. This has to be a twin scroll turbo, there are two separate exhaust paths going into the hotside.

mccorry Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Ususally, a twin scroll turbo has inlets beside one another... the photos show that the pipes are above one another... not side by side. Therefore, I'd bet that this is a conventional single scroll turbocharger with the collector being on the (or "the") inlet to the turbine housing.

whitetiger Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I wonder if the twinscroll turbine layout is the same as the JDM twinscroll format on a vf38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, I'd bet that this is a conventional single scroll turbocharger with the collector being on the inlet to the turbine housing. only way to be sure is to get a pic of the turbo without the exhaust mani on it.

whitetiger Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 anyone know of a subaru parts website that has listings for 2010 legacy? they should have drawing of the part sans manifold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasopoliS Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 It's not a twinscroll, btw. You lie! A friend of a mechanic said he knew a guy at subaru who got a leaked service manual and it said twinscroll all over it. Its totally a twinscrew dude just look at it. :spin: Thanks for the info.

One, the exhaust housing doesn't look like one. Two, this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/Rutch/CarPics/noscroll.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two, this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/Rutch/CarPics/noscroll.jpg I don't get where you are drawing your conclusion from. The gasket is maybe not the best, but where the manifold bolts to the turbo sure looks TS to me. Full tune of 68HTA, KSTech 73 MAF, Racer X FMIC and ID1000s................by the DataLog Mafia!!!

Guest Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Manifold is twinscroll "ready" for sure (per the diagaram), but the gasket should separate the streams all the way into the exhaust housing. If the diagram is correct and the gasket looks like this, I don't see the turbo being twinscroll. Besides the exhaust housing looks single scroll to me. Perhaps they decided for universal equal length header design that can accomodate twinscroll turbos as well. Maybe JDM version comes with one? Or there will be some STI version taking advantage of it? Also, note, due to the tubular construction of the header, it would be impractical/difficult to manufacture to join all four pipes into one big ass pipe. Easier to do in the turbo (cast housing). Plus the separation of the exhaust pulses as far as possible even though not all the way to the turbine is still beneficial. http://car.watch.impress.co.jp/img/car/docs/169/682/lgc96.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I also realized that the separation of the pipes does not make it easy (if possible) to mount actual twinscroll turbo in this location (and this orientation). You want the inlets side-by-side not top-bottom. Look at this Garrett twinscroll to see what I mean: http://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/Catalog%20Images/Turbochargers/GRT-TBO-050_450-2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBlueGT Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I understand your points now, thanks. But, remember what the turbine entry looks like on most VF series turbos? It doesn't seem big enough to encompass both of those manifold holes. Full tune of 68HTA, KSTech 73 MAF, Racer X FMIC and ID1000s................by the DataLog Mafia!!!
