Product Description

BorgWarner 179159 S500SX Turbine Housing — 110mm, 0.85 A/R, T6 Open Flow

This genuine AirWerks S500SX housing is the go-to choice when you want quicker response and strong mid-range in big-frame builds. The 0.85 A/R T6 open-flow volute pairs with the 110mm turbine to keep drive pressure in check while helping spool in the right-sized single or as the hot-side for atmospheric compounds.

FAQ

Will 179159 bolt to a stock manifold?

No. This housing uses a T6 open volute. You’ll need a T6 manifold or an adapter plus a matching downpipe.

Is 0.85 A/R too small for a big-frame S500?

It’s ideal when you want faster spool and mid-range response. For more top-end flow, consider 1.00, 1.15, 1.30, 1.45, or 1.60 A/R options listed above.

Does this fit S500SX-E turbos?

Yes—if your SX-E uses the 110mm turbine wheel and matching T6 open-flow configuration.
