what o2 housing is this.

[ilco187]

This was on my old 1g and i never took it off when i sold it and im trying to find another.

Looks to be a custom piece.

 

[airmail96]

Kind of reminds me of those o2 eliminator setups that RRE use to have, but that was like a full DP with an o2 housing built into it.

There is a guy in the forums, and on my local Craigslist selling one of those, one piece o2 downpipes.

I was looking at those 1 peice o2 downpipes...For the money it's not bad..


But that o2 housing looks like mild steel..

I used to own one of these o2 eliminators. Hindsight, horrible design. Wastegate re-entry path is way too steep causing too much turbulence in the main post-turbine exhaust stream (post turbine is directed DIRECTLY at the wastegate dump). The welds will eventually crack on you.

My advice, pull it off, buy a quality SS unit that has the wastegate dump coming back in at a better (more acute) angle farther in the exhaust path.

I'm not sure if yours is exactly the same as mine, but mine is definitely the same design. Mine is made by a company that's no longer in business called ATR.

Not sure what your talking about " Buying a quality SS piece "
1. It is SS mines just dirty, 2. Good luck finding a 3" O2 housing that isn't $500

I absolutely love mine, have had it well over 5 years. My only gripe is that it uses a 3 bolt downpipe flange. Other than that, have fun with your bottleneck 2.5'' O2 housings.

Yeah that would be the one, it had a full 3 inch exhaust on it all v band from catback. well

YES i think i found a good one http://www.dynamicracing.com/customer/product.php?productid=429&page=1

 

[Armandotech]

If I remember correctly hanh racecraft also used to make that same o2 eliminator downpipes

 

[EclipseOwner95]

Wow I can't believe they still have old stock of ATR stuff, that company went out of business in like 05-06. Owell nice find if they still have it! I almost wanna buy one to have an extra!

Really? Hold a magnet to it.

I'd rather spend $500 for an O2 housing that isn't a complete POS in design and implementation.

Here you go.

ATR 3" Stainless O2-Housing Eliminator Downpipe Kit

And how do you figure its complete POS in design. IMO divided O2 housing = POS design. Had creep problems with 2.5" tubular, switched to this, no creep.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion though.

Yes, they made a SS version, and an aluminized steel version. Hold a magnet to it.

It's not about opinion. Check where the wastegate re-entry is compared to the turbine discharge...

If you look at the turbine discharge flow, it's directed RIGHT into the wastegate recirc. If you don't see this as a problem, enjoy your exhaust back pressure and slow spool.

I used to own one. I'm glad it's off my car.

Last post. It is your opinion. Unless you can prove your statements, they are opinions.

Even if the discharge is directed towards the waste-gate recirc it certainly isn't going to create more back pressure than 1. a 2.5" outlet vs a 3" outlet, 2. The needle dick recirc that divided o2 housings have.

I can't back up my statements with facts but nor can you. So were back to square one.

But I can say in my personal experience, I've had this O2 housing on a 14b, 16g, PTE 50 Trim, and now my HTA68 and I've had better spool than any other O2 I've ever used.

Use whatever you want and I'll do the same.

I'm a mechanical engineer, what's your degree in?

My "opinion" happens to be based in a field of thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and physics, not what "looks good".

I was unaware that a piece of paper hanging on your wall proved anything at all? Try again.

HA. Downplay an actual mechanical engineering degree as just a meaningless piece of paper. Shows a lot about your failure in education.

Not to mention your defense of a failure of engineering in that O2 housing.

Please. I didn't say it was meaningless, congratulations, it takes a lot of hard work to get an engineering degree. It still doesn't prove or disprove anything we're talking about.

I work with engineers everyday designing medical devices and I wonder how some of them graduated high school, let alone college. Some of them are the most intelligent people I've ever met, some are dumb as rocks. Just because your an engineer, doesn't mean your right.

For supposedly being so smart you sure are quick to downplay people, which shows a lot about your character.

I discredit no one until they show an obvious ignorance in the field they're trying to argue.

a) your lack of ability to properly utilize the different versions of you, your, and you're shows that my efforts here are wasted on yet another worthless T00ner.

b) if you could see the path of fluidic flow based on standard physics principles that I can, you wouldn't even be trying to make this point.

Albeit, the OEM o2 housing is lesser in diameter (pressure drop being negated here), the wastegate re-entry path is NOT in line with the turbine discharge flow path, and re-enters at an angle much more inclined for more laminar flow. If you could see this, you would simply stop arguing your point.

You may think you've purchased some of the "latest uber hawtness" in exhaust fabrication, but you would be far from the limelight.

Lmao, excuse me, I was unaware I was writing a paper for English class, i'll try harder to use proper grammar for you.

I'm done arguing with you, real world experience > your theoretical situations you read in a book.

And latest uber hawtness? Far from it. Nor did I imply that. V-Band > All

Keep trollin, I'll see you around I'm sure. btw, not putting myself over, but go look at my build thread before you start calling me a " worthless T00ner " I may not have a degree in engineering, but if there is one thing I can say with certainty, it's that I'm far from that.

Proper grammar is a bare necessity (hence why they teach it in GRADE SCHOOL) to proper argument and debate. It is a elementary method to disavowing others the time or effort to properly form a sentence as a retort.

HA! Real world experience, what every backyard bubba ghetto rigger tries to use as a resume to undermine a real engineer. I have "real world experience". I work for a corporation DESIGNING car parts that utilize fluid flow. What exactly do you do with your non-accredited "engineering"? Weld things together in the vain attempt to actually construct something that might make more power than an OEM unit? That doesn't exactly take much skill.

Trolling I am not. I just want people who think they know about mechanics come to the realization that they, in fact, do not. Owning a car does not automatically entitle you to knowledge of physics.

 

[Boosted98gsx]

Thank you for the intelligent retort. Welcome to the ignore list.

 

[spooln4fun]

Thank you both for cluttering a thread with your arguments.

Anyone know if ATR made a full exhaust or did they just make
Those downpipes and the o2 housings

 

[ilco187]

Whoa! I had this o2 housing on my old 1g and for me it helped my turbo's performance, it may be poor design but i really noticed a difference in spool also it was much faster and held a great steady 20 psi, im sure ceramic coating would help its life span.

A good example of this 3 inch o2 housing would be breathe through a mcdonalds straw or use oem 2.5 inch and breathe through a coffee straw. you will notice the difference.

But im not sayin its better or a great design nor am i gonna join the debate but I did notice a great difference.

 

[bastarddsm]

Yeah, because the restriction of the tdo5 turbine its hooked to is nothing in comparison to the turbulence, and the guy who owns it has hundred dollar bills running out his ass.

Get a clue ####face.

Lol, I hold degrees in Physics, and Mechanical Engineering. I"m also completing a PhD, in ME. I guess my dick is bigger than yours.

From my experience, a BSME doesn't mean you know shit. I teach classes full of pompus asses just like you that claim to know this and that. When push comes to shove, put a real world problem on their hands, and they haven't got a clue.
