Thnaks for the clarification, I knew that you were going to quickly understand what I was trying to say.


I honestly would try to get answers from Worksracing themselves, my first question for them would have been why they decided no make the o2 Housing without the dividing wall.

I am sure Works Racing engineering spent plenty of time testing it, this 02 housing was on the lab for well over a year.

As far is the divorced/split design on the Subarus, even like that they made several models, short and long divorce but like we already covered any Divorce/bellmouth downpipe design would produce much more flow on the Subaru VF series turbos.

What you did with that O2 housing looks good.
I would like to see what the WORKS O2 housing can do with the plenum !

After the last Buschur test, it promted me to buy a used stocker...
next I'll port it and coat it. I was so close to buying a WORKS O2 before the
Buschur test.

I was wrong and you ex-Subby guys are right about the merged vs. divorced wastegate flow discussion. According to a Garrett engineer: "The ideal wastegate flow would be via a completely divorced dump tube." According to this engineer, the..."introduction of the wastegate flow disrupts the flow field of the main turbine discharge flow." ......hence reducing turbine efficiency. I got it now.

 

Nice work on getting some independent feedback, and from Garrett of all sources. Nice to know we are on the right track and not pissing in the wind.

 

enough of that ****, send us some pics of chicks in their coozies.....<--Fosters

 

There goes all that research and development WORKS supposedly put into the 02 housing. Still are great looking and performing unit...just too pricey.

 

Engineers CAN have different opinions, ya know.

 

what im about to say may make no sence.

i hope you guys understand what im trying to say here. so here it go's.

when you made that divider how do you know it should not go down the o2 housing longer befor is is a single opening again. get what im asking?????????

also pm b/r. ask him if he will test this. i hope so. i would love to see this. OR get to a dyno and do a be4 and after. if you are in the area you can use my works housing to see the differece between mine and your moded one. thats the only way you will see any difference.

 

FOR WORK'S

i would like to here from work's on why they did not divide it to begin with?

what r/d went into this thing to perform not as good as an $80.00 o2 housing

why did they deside what they did about the hole housing?????

also y have you guys NEVER made and testing on this part and seem to avoid everything anyone wants to ask you?

MOST of us are not here to bash you we just want some ansores. all we here from you is fitment. like stock. use stock heat shields. WE DONT CARE so can you fill us in on something else we would like to know?????

 

From my end it really was a bit of a gamble. Wanted to make the divider as long as possible while still allowing enough flow area for wastegate gases to escape without getting boost control issues. IMHO the ideal o2 would have the 3" pipe off the back of the turbine with the wastegate gases separate and merged in as late as practically possible.

I am still not entirely happy with my design as the exhaust gases still have to do quite a tight turn off the back of the turbo but it is the best I can do working with the works base platform and you are also limited with the factory location of the turbo and surrounding parts. Just would like a more progressive path rather than the fairly abrupt turn the gases have to do in the works housing.


LOL at badhabit90!!! We all know aussie chicks are the best...and they do the business as well.... Although I have no complaints re your stateside girls!!! Althought Fosters Beer???? No one drinks that here!! .. Although I hear we export a much better product than what they serve up to us in the domestic market..

Re the works housing and testing, I seem to doubt this has ever been done in any scientific way. To be honest I think the works housing is made here in australia. And the guys here were pretty vague on what testing they had done but insisted their open mouth design was better. Hmmmmm. Better how??? Sounds like a job for Mythbusters!!!

Personally I like the tomei extreme design the best.

 

ummm, isnt he in Australia?? kind of difficult to drive here....hahahah

 

gess your right. well b/r did his test with my o2 housing. maby he will do it again with his and mine. il need to know as im sending it out for coating monday. il wait if he tests it.

australia is not around the block. HAHAHAHAH owell

 

thank you thank you for the stateside girls thing....SO POST THEM UP!!AHAHAHHAH

the Tomei design is $$$$$$ and cant readily get it here....

Exactly my point. Just like their BOV and downpipe.

 

sigh...

to answer the question of when to reintroduce the flow. further is better. the jspeed dp is a prime example of this philosophy applied.

the MODIFIED works housing reintroduces flow just as soon as the ebay and the stocker. so there should be no reason to be displeased. otherwise stop wasting your time with these pieces and just get a jspeed dp. problem there is that it's a pain in the *** to install, and if you ever need to take it off it's equally painful and does not retain any fastening points.

i don't think there is any reason that any of the o2 housings should have done as "poorly as they did against the ebay o2. also remember that he invidia unit is divorced yet performed more poorly than the rest??? and no one has confronted the fact that there is a 40hp spread across the same units tested and that the averages are most likely done over 2 or 3 runs which hardly constitues a strong averaging.

test... is busted... in my opinion
