What's better than 1 turbo?

dual gates to atmos

Wouldn't matter if it's gated to the atmo or not. What would benefit and be a enter idea would be to have the gate sitting right at the t4 flange, than dump into the path of the 400 charger. Rather than just gating the single bank and taking the flow out of the Egr path.

The smooth flow of passing off the top of the up pipes would in theory help with flow.

I would think gating to the atmosphere would make the drive pressure differential between the banks even larger (if one really exists). I guess the more important question is if the differential in drive pressure is large enough at any time to actually affect performance, or if it is negligible.

that's what I'm wondering.

dumping to atmosphere will allow the gate to work like it is supposed to. there is still BP in the down pipe that will definitely put psi on the gate. it will still open but not flow as much as it would to atmosphere. they are right about the divided up pipes only relieving psi on one bank. id run two individuals to the atmosphere.

It's not going to dump to atmo. You need the drive pressure to spool the 80mm. It's on one side because that's how it was Fabbed up when I had it with the stock pipes on mine. It would be ideal to have 2 wastegates but I don't really think there is going to be a need for it very much so one on one side will still take away drive pressure. Remember the gate is there to keep the turbo from over spooling. If you take away some of
The drive pressure from one side it is going to have less power to drive the charger.

But still have an unbalanced load on the engine banks.

Have a look at Engineered Diesels site, under waste gates. They have a nice T4 flange that is machined on both sides of the up pipe ports...so you still have totally separate up pipes, but both sides relieve when the gate opens.

Point the T4 flange with the gate port facing downward, add an elbow, waste gate, then run the pipe behind the secondary, and into the hot pipe right into the corner...still helping flow, and maintaining heat.

yeah they have a slick set up. only real reason this has a gate is because it was already set up for it. lance isnt going to use spray and When I had this setup with a alot smaller housing I didnt use the gate hardly at all on the street.

 

[Craig@MFI]

There is no need to dump from both banks its all equalizes in the turbine housing...for reference my 6.4 makes 76-80 psi with gate closed i pop the line off the gate and run it brings it all the way down to 45-50 dumping off one bank....
And honestly there is no need for wastegates on 6.0 if you size housings right you will just lose power

thanks Craig thats exactly what I was thinking.

I wasn't sure if that was the case or not, so I asked. Thanks

Why is that?

Craig, PM me the prices on that T4 housing already.

It would be great if a gate, internal or external, was not needed on our engine setups.

 

[Paul@CP_Trucks]

So lance this going on your pile or the ranger? LOL

 

[SSpeeDEMONSS]

Why is that?

A wastegate is technically expelling exhaust energy and wasting it. Though in a compound setup if it vents to the hotpipe between stages it is still driving the primary at least.

because unless you spray it or have a really good hybrid those turbos wont work nearly hard enough to need a gate

and I drive like a huge vagina so Craig is right....these turbos will rarely get worked enough to need a gate. glad it's there for track passes though!

Bingo

Lance, what stall converter? And whos?

 

[BlueWaffle]

presently north bound to ced... stay tuned for pictures and videos throughout the week!

Looks Great!


Matt said Lance wears his boxers backwards for kicks so you can bet he doesn't lit the tires off in the first drive lol
