^^^^ Thats what i was thinking of

I did see a reputable Turbo manufacturer taking the piss out of them? Not a good indication! lol

+1 well done and staying motivated! Will check back for updates

This one is for Lithium - The GTX is a carry over from OEM applications where noise control is very very important. While it is a newer aero package, it does make sacrifices to be a quiet as it is. Typically all full blade designs are used for targeting a narrow band of operating conditions on a compressor map, and we initially investigated doing this as well in 2005 when we began our design proccess for the HTA wheel aero package. Ultimately we abandonded it due to the limitations that the full blade style puts on the width of the operating map. The HTA (actually HTA15) surpasses the performance of the full blade variants on both the surge and choke flow ends of the compressor map, oddly enough these are the exact 2 regions of the map that most people operate in without even knowing it and this is why the HTA outperforms the GTX when compared head to head with matching inducer diameters. In my trip the the MHI turbocharger research laboratories in Nagasaki in the summer of 2011 I was introduced first hand to the extreme effort these OEM put into noise control for aero on compressor wheels, it is their number 1 concern - this shocked me. They do not focus on 5:1 pressure ratios, they dont focus on surge line compressor efficiency, they dont focus on flat RPM lines and wide maps - they want the turbo to be quiet - end of story. Mercedes doesnt want to buy loud turbochargers. The GTX is not a blank page design for high power small engines, it is something Garrett already created for an Motor Company and it was billet, so it fit the marcket needs. For example it does not take the blade thickness down to the minimum, it places a higher priority on million mile powertrain warranty performance. Ever had a race car that ran for a million miles on the same turbocharger? The HTA was designed as a blank page effort targeting ONLY high pressure ratio efficiency (5:1), surge line efficiency, and flat RPM lines thru as much of the map as possible. To this day we do a steady stream of GTX conversions to HTA, if you know anyone that needs any pull-off GTX wheels, give me a ring.

Cheap az

235 will still stretch onto a 9.5! 255 and 265 tyres look normal! I have had 235, 255, 265 & 275 on my 9.5's in the past!

You bored Timmy? But yeah also keen on updates hehe

Who said i have done anything?

Injectors will be maxed but i was running 250kw with the stock AFM.... BUT if you are tuning more you might as well do it at the same time Good to see another GTT in the build!

It has been waiting inline for the dyno! And YES i want results as much as you guys do

R34GT should have the eyelet type, same as R33 R34GTT use a fork type on the rear! Cheap coilovers, good deal! Good luck!

Mah Man!!!

Take a mulcher, it should do leafs! I shouldnt pick on it, it'll kick my ass

Awesome advice, didn't even give that a thought... Was going to use the spare GTT rims and tyres but sounds like a change of plan now! Thanks for the offer too, I'll keep it in mind!

It's an RB30..... Different story! The numbers and response this turbo is producing will be impressive... If not the HTA3582 would still be considered responsive and make more power again... If you see the times already done as per the post about you will realise this is one fast and well setup car! That sort of time on low power is a good indication of things to come!

That would explain a few things... I'll keep the silicon joiner thing in mind now That is a damn quick time for EC mate! Wow!

Mid week runs are probably the best way

Would like too but gotta work AND dont have my car at the moment! Double fail!

Yep i just went second hand and will see how it goes

We hope it was a good find! Everything checks out so far Lots of money spent in the right places!

I smell a TECH Night!

Ah well yes for genuine parts Amayama will work for you, and yes that time is pretty close to correct! In saying that my PCV hose rubber arrived in like 4-5 days so it just depends on the part! UAE seems to be cheaper but i have only ordered from JP

Wow man! Big

Amayama have been good to deal with in the past! Worth the wait i think... Havent had dealings with the others though. What parts are you shopping for?
