What does the 1.15 A/R ratio mean for my turbocharger?

The A/R ratio on a turbine housing affects how quickly the turbocharger spools up and its top-end power potential. A 1.15 A/R is generally considered a good balance, offering relatively quick response while still supporting high airflow for significant power.

What is the advantage of a V-band outlet (VOF)?

A V-band outlet uses a clamp system to secure the downpipe to the turbine housing. This often makes installation easier and provides a more reliable seal compared to traditional bolted flanges, especially under high temperatures and vibrations.

What is the difference between a T6 flange and other turbo flanges?

The T6 flange is a larger, robust connection point commonly used on high-performance turbochargers. It's designed to handle the higher exhaust flow rates and temperatures associated with larger turbine wheels and engines.

Product Details

BorgWarner is a well-known name in the powertrain industry, recognized for their robust and reliable turbocharger components. This S500SX SX turbine housing is a prime example of their commitment to performance. It's designed for builders who need a specific A/R ratio and inlet/outlet configuration for custom turbocharger setups. The 1.15 A/R ratio is a popular choice for applications looking for a balance between quick spool-up and high-end power, making it suitable for a wide range of performance builds.

This housing features a T6 flange, which is a common and strong connection point for larger turbochargers, ensuring a secure fit. The VOF designation indicates the specific V-band outlet configuration, which simplifies installation and sealing compared to traditional bolted flanges. With a 110mm inducer diameter on the turbine wheel side, this housing is intended for use with larger turbine wheels that can support significant airflow for high-horsepower engines. The cast iron construction offers good thermal stability and durability under demanding operating conditions.

When building a custom turbo system, selecting the right turbine housing is critical for achieving your desired performance goals. This BorgWarner housing provides a solid foundation for that build, offering the specific dimensions and flange types needed for a precise setup. Remember that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always consult with your turbocharger specialist or engine builder to ensure this housing is the correct match for your specific application and performance targets.
