What does the 1.60 A/R ratio mean for my turbo?

The A/R ratio (Area to Radius) indicates the size of the exhaust housing's internal passage. A 1.60 A/R generally means the housing can flow more exhaust gas, which helps the turbocharger produce more power at higher RPMs, though it might cause boost to build slightly later compared to a smaller A/R.

What is a T6 flange and why is it important?

The T6 flange is a standardized mounting point for the turbine inlet on larger turbochargers. It's known for its strength and ability to handle high exhaust gas temperatures and flow rates, ensuring a secure connection between the exhaust manifold and the turbocharger housing.

Can I use this housing on any turbocharger?

No, this turbine housing is specifically designed for BorgWarner S500SX SX series turbochargers. Using it with an incompatible turbocharger could lead to poor performance, damage, or unsafe operating conditions.

Product Details

If you're building a high-performance forced induction system and need to fine-tune your turbocharger's response, this BorgWarner S500SX SX turbine housing is a key component. It's designed to work with specific BorgWarner turbochargers, allowing you to tailor the airflow characteristics to match your engine's needs. The 1.60 A/R ratio and T6 flange are critical specifications that determine how quickly the turbo spools up and where its peak efficiency lies.

This housing features a 1.60 A/R (Area to Radius) ratio, which is a measure of the exhaust gas flow path. A larger A/R like this one generally means the turbo will build boost later but can support higher horsepower levels by flowing more exhaust gas efficiently at higher RPMs. The T6 flange is a common and robust connection point for larger turbochargers, ensuring a solid seal for exhaust gases entering the turbine. The 110mm outlet size is also important for matching exhaust flow to your exhaust system.

When selecting a turbine housing, consider your engine's displacement, camshaft profile, and intended use. This BorgWarner housing is a well-built piece that offers a specific airflow characteristic for those looking to optimize their turbo system. It's important to note that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always consult your turbocharger manufacturer's specifications and a qualified performance tuner to ensure this housing is the right match for your build.
