Exhaust Question

[23newb]

With the car running and the exhaust only going back as far as the transmission crossmember I am wondering whether to run dual or single exhaust - both available on the site - so wonder what the benefit or changing to dual exhaust? As I mentioned in a different thread a bigger turbo will be sitting under the hood in the near future - if that makes a difference in the decision

Power is the same, some people just prefer the dual look. Single is lighter and cheaper, dual looks better.

Attaching a picture of the turbo that will go into the car this winter, and wondering which downpipe to use? From the options found on the site I will need to supply the flange to weld onto the downpipe, or go with a vBand setup? Just going to weld up a pipe to fit the remaining TC exhaust to the Mustang rear section for now

forgot the other side

Do you know any specs on that turbo (dimensions or trim of compressor and turbine wheels, a/r of exhaust housing, etc.)? I suspect it's a T04B of some type which are typically not good matches for 2.3's (they are low boost turbos from 50+ years ago). I'm only asking because I'd hate for you to spend time/money adapting your exhaust to something that's not a good fit (if that's the case).

Oh I will find the info and post it here. Had a brand new turbo stolen a few years ago and bought this to put onto my bmw 2002 as a friend runs one on his rotary engine. Will find the details

thanks

It is indeed a B turbo  From the info i have it is .6 cold and .59 hot The housing is just too big for the 2.3, or what makes it not work well with this engine? You are saving me a ton of hassle answering what i am sure is a pile of questions you have answered a hundred times over

That's the a/r of each housing. The trim for the "To4B" turbos are listed as v-trim, b-trim, s-trim, etc. It's related to the exducer and inducer diameters of the compressor wheel (have to remove the housing to measure if you don't have this info somewhere).

What makes them a poor fit is what I said above, they are turbos from many decades ago that were made for big engines at low boost, not small engines at high boost. So they are inefficient at making high boost like 2.3's want, and tend to surge on small engines.

FYI, we've got a brand new T04E 50 trim here from Turbonetics that was bought for a project that changed direction so the 50 trim is now available.

Hmm will send you an email to talk about the Turbonetics - that is what was stolen so would be cool to get another
