Hi Guys, Due to the recent discussions in other threads in relation to the latest HTA results, Lithium and I decided it was time to create a new discussion thread as i do believe these will be a big part amongst the SAU community based on the results possible on the RB engine. Forced Performance are normally associated with EVOs and STi's which results in them often being overlooked as an option for the general turbocharged world but they actually do a bunch of Garrett based upgrades for a variety of applications (not all are listed here): http://store.forcedperformance.net/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=FP&Category_Code=Turbo-FP And http://www.ringer-racing.com/category.sc?categoryId=180 A lot of these turbos have been around for years, and proven time and again to perform - it is a bit of a shame they aren't more known about in our area in the world. The HTA range came out in the late 2000s (before the Garrett GTX range) and as a general rule provided compressor wheels which made the equivalent GT units completely redundant, typically having physically smaller inducer dimensions (smaller trims tend to mean better response, and safer margain before surge) and the ability through design to flow over 10% better than the GT equivalent, without carrying the extra 25-30% mass the cast GT wheels have... so also great improvements to transient response. Over the years they've been used on a variety of serious cars in single and twin form, and often FP/HTA technology don't get the credit for it as they will be referred to in articles or the workshops who have supplied kits using them as "custom Garrett" units - key examples for these are Porsche and R35 GTRs, where FP turbos are one of (if not THE) turbo to use on those cars. They also supply an upgrade service which I am sure means they can built a custom version not listed on their site - which would mean there are the options of a HTA3071R, HTA3073R, HTA3076R, HTA3582R, HTA3586R, HTA3786R, HTA3794R, all the way up to the HTA4505 - so if anything there are actually more sensibly spaced options than currently available from Garrett themselves, and without the design compromises Garrett had to do in order to make them suit the OEM market - such as forfeiting compressor efficiency to be quiet, packaging reasons, and optimising low pressure ratios. This isn't to say the HTA turbos aren't only good at high pressure ratios, they are just more focussed on performance from 1.5-4 bar instead of .8-3 bar - generally speaking. End effect is they suit most of our purposes very well Boost Logic R35 GTR - 8.9 @ 180mph on its first outing, still on low profile radial tyres (AMS downsized brakes and rims): http://www.gtrlife.com/forums/topic/85461-boost-logic-89s-180mph/ And vid: AWD Motorsport radial tyred/stock ECU EVO - 9.0 @ 160mph (it hit high 8s but the video is cr@p): Eddie Bello's Texas Invitational winning Porsche from 2013 - And plenty of time attack, circuit and rally cars have used them to great effect as well. After researching this turbo in great detail it was decided the HTA3076 would best suit my car as the GT3037-56T compressor was maxed out. Initially i was skeptical about the turbo as it is hard to get your mind around a setup with similar dimensions being capabale of so much more, after numerous discussions the decision was made to test one out and the results were nothing short of amazing! The turbo not on provided more peak power and torque, but the response was dramatically different, on paper it looks impressive but once in the drivers seat, its a totally different beast! I will have all the results on both fuels (E70 and pump 98) and also varying boost levels to post shortly but for now i have a direct back to back full power comparison from a GT3076 vs a HTA3076 - And the video provided by JEM of the dyno runs - The HTA is certainly an impressive turbo and i think with the options of a HTA3073 & HTA3076 for RB25 they have nailed it! The old GT compressor had no answer for the newer HTA design. I must say a big thanks to LITHIUM as without his help and data i would not have made the choice to choose the HTA turbo, and again another big thanks to Just Engine Management for the awesome tune!

I'm selling my 1998 R34 GT-T which has done 105,000km and has had regular oil changes in the 5 years I have owned it. I'm the second owner in AU since import. ** The car has front end damage ** - About 2 years ago I had a front end crash which pushed the radiator into the engine fan and totalled the headlights, reo bar, radiator, bonnet and front bar. Rather than fixing this properly, I was lazy and went out a bought a new front bar, reo, xenon headlights, radiator, and carbon fibre bonnet. I pushed out the bar that the radiator sits on with a jack, slotted in the new radiator, bolted a new reo on, then zip tied the headlights and front bar on, and replaced the bonnet and intercooler with a brand new ones. The car is used as an everyday work car so it is driven from Crafers in the hills to town 5 days a week and rarely driven on the weekends, so it's pretty much just wasting my petrol money. I have been pulled over about 4-5 times since the crash and have not been defected, although it could be defected if a cop wanted to be a prick, but so can 95% of the cars on the road. I spent about $8000 at once in mods about 18 months ago and had it tuned to 260rwkw. I've listed the mods that I had done all at once: Exedy heavy duty clutch GT-70/36r Turbo Greddy Profec B 2 boost controller Z32 air flow meter Denso high flow fuel pump Nistune chip Splitfire coil packs 3 inch cat-back exhaust 3 inch custom dump pipe 3 inch custom cat These are the other mods that have been done to the car before the above: New bushes and tie rod ends BC Racing coilovers - bought off justjap for $1,100 three months ago (only done a few thousand km's) HKS blow off valve Front mount intercooler (black stealth style) Apexi turbo timer Shift light Air/fuel ratio meter 17" mags Carbon Fibre vented bonnet Small aero side mirrors Xenon headlights Clear side indicators Full fibre glass body kit Rear seats and seat belts removed - can supply B-pillar lock bar (Room bar) Front roll bar Front upper adjustable camber arms Rear adjustable camber arms I may have missed out a few things but as you can see it's had a decent amount spent on it and is ready for drift or track, just needs a retune. You could just keep it as it is and drive it like it is, or spend the time on fixing the front end properly. I'm asking $12,000, and I will consider swapsies with a 4x4, preferably a patrol or navara. Give me a text or call on 0431516718 if interested. Cheers, Tom

New HKS Garrett 3037 or 3076 Turbo The GT3037/3076 is an exceptional turbo for its HP range. It features a .6 surge slotted comp cover and a complimenting turbine/comp wheel ratio, making it a great bolt on upgrade for the 2-3 litre range engine Got my HKS 3037 upgraded to a 3582 so the Brand new 3076 CHRA ‘core’ from my turbo can be put in a new housing by Hypergear in .82 turbine and .70 comp (may be other options too if this doesnt suit). If you need exhaust housing i can prob sort that out too. Good for RB20/25s, SR20DETs etc Price: $600 for CHRA, $1100 with housing, not sure how much with exhaust, depends on type. Any offers let me know

Garrett GTX3076r turbo with Tial .86 stainless steel rear housing v-band in and out. Turbo has done about 1500kms. Wanting to go bigger - chasing a gtx3582 if anyone wants to swap? Location: Brisbane Price: $2000

Hey guys, i have a 34 Gtt with a built neo, ross 8.5:1 forged pistons, arp head studs etc, I have a set of r35 injectors,z32 and Walbro,power fc, basically all supporting mods but a standard op6 turbo i have the opportunity to buy a new 3076 with .82 rear for 1600 + turbo smart 45 mm gate for 450, I would still have to fab a dump pipe and I would be stuck with my cast manifold A friend from Finland who is fabbing a ti exhaust for my bnr34, has offered to make me a kit comprising of a custom twin scroll dual gate t3 manifold, a 'fullrace' water cooled hx35 with 14cm rear and a v band 3.5" dump pipe for $2100 delivered. My understanding is that the 14cm housing will behave like like a .97 open.. Seems to be a better bang for buck option than the gt3076 route, with a properly designed manifold & dump My goal is 350rwkw and full boost by 4000rpm Do you think this is achievable with the twin scroll holset setup? anyone with experience with the holset's / twin scroll setup's please chime in. thanks for your time gents

OK guys, as stated in Mugabetown. Motor has decided to give up on life so I'm going to be striping it and selling it. Few parts of the top of my head are listed here.

Hi my current power F.C. map is for a basic setup including a hks2530 on a rb25 neo. Was mapped to 1.3 bar with usual supporting mods, intercooler, r35 injectors, stock afm etc etc. with a conservative road map the car is away at my mechanics getting a new setup fitted, gtx3076 gen2, 6 boost top mount, turbosmart external gate, stock plenum remains in place. I will plug the standard afm back in, would this be ok to limp back to my home with keeping below 2500rpm and no heavy throttle? i will map it from home with a friend and change to a z32 afm then Next part of my topic its a unopened neo run on 98 ron. Not after lots of power, about 1.4 bar max would be my intended boost, would that be safe enough? I don’t want to risk the engine to much few pics of the fabricators work, I know i expect to hear should have ditched the plenum and throttle body and stuff, but at the lower power goal at this stage it will be fine, next year I may add a head gasket and studs etc, at that point I’ll privably change the plenum thanks all
