undived turbo on divided manifold?s363 vs s366
has any 1 tried a undivided turbo on a divided manfold? im looking towards a s363 undivided 88ar on a divided manifold for my new build on my fc .im trying to keep it between 400-450 pump gas and something close to 500 meth and race gas . i want the s366 but its sort of pointless cause it makes over 500 no problem but has lag idk i dont want too much lag . i want the s363 cause i dont want to make over 500 whp im getting a deal on both of these turbos new for $600 each . just dont know which one togo with my motor is a s4t2 /s5 rear plate /ra super seals 2mm and its gonna have a large street port meth supporting fuel etc...motor isnt dowled or pinned just thicker rear iron thats why im sort of scared of hitting 500whp so i wanna keep it right under that .

A divided turbine housing will give better response, and faster " spool " on a collected/undivided turbo manifold vs an open volute turbine housing. It will however hurt top end power. You should always radius the center divider on the turbine housing if running this combination.

Running the undivided housing your divided manifold will be fine, you will just notice difference in response, it will feel a bit lazy on boost and between shifts. As far as what Turblown is referring to on running a divided housing on a undivided manifold and cutting a radius on the divider, he means cut it back like a C or D shape length wise on the divider and do not knife edge it. Another simple solution for you would be to make a stainless insert that can be welded on the divider of the manifold that will basically come up and extend the divider into the housing and partially divide the housing. It will pick up some lost response in doing so.

I run a garrett gt4094r with the .95 a/r rear, divided housing on a gato performance manifold that is undivided....i actually feel a better response than i did with my previous t78 turbo undivided. I also knife edged the center, been running it like that for about a year now and havent had any issues, no cracks, and i dont fall off boost between shifts at all. I only shaped the center portion of the middle dividing bar on the housing, leaving the top and bottom curves as thick as possible but giving them a smooth shape.

So air flow hitting a flat surface makes for better flow than a rounded and smooth surface?
Silly me!!
Anyways, its not a "sharp as a knife" edge, its just rounded out around the corners. I seriously doubt it's robbing me of any power.

Take it how you will if you wanna be a smart as that's fine, no where did I mention not to radius the edges I just said don't knife edge it, it will crack eventually. Over the years I've learned you have to be very clear and almost dumb things down so people reading it wont interpret it wrong, hence the "just being clear on that". Cutting it back in a C shape will help balance flow in the housing this is proven and tested, actually proven and tested to well over anything anyone on this board will be doing, but you go ahead and take it personal.
