have a look a this link I thinck it mentions something about, The unique ported shroud was designed to minimize compressor surging at the mid-range rpms.

RBSandy they are the vent paths for the ported shroud within the inlet boss . 2rismo I'm not sure what you mean by they are covered by the filter or inlet ducting ? So long as the vent paths can vent air from the radial slot in between the main and splitter compressor blades to the atmosphere side of the boss they will work . I have a feeling that HKS do this partly for bling factor (marketing) but I also get the feeling that doing it like this or by having the trumpet mouth insert like say their GT3037's have reduces the shrieking screaming noise that the more common port shroud like say a GT30R (GT3076R) tends to have .

Thanks for the link as well , always wanted to see inside the HKS TO4Z comp cover .

Cheers A .

the holes on the comp cover are a workaround for compressor surging

it allows air to enter onto the compressor wheel on the outer edge to balance out the some of intake sucking, which is commonly associated with surging. think of it as an anti surging device.

the bulk of the air enters the snout, thanks to the vacuum effect of the compressor wheel sucking in air, but a very small amount enters through the holes also to side step around surge

wonder if it would surge with the holes blocked off. logic would say yes.

i guess that was the only comrimise they could come up with to avoid surging. must be a really wacko compressor/housing combo (sounds logical??)

It's not very hard to picture. How many of you run no filter on your turbo? Do you all have a pipe from the compressor inlet to an air filter? Would the holes be obscured/covered on a T04Z like this?

Tell me what they're for in that situation?!?!?

2rismo I can't follow you logic , if you mean "covered" as in out of sight then 99.99% of port shrouded compressor covers the world over are covered . This does not prevent them working as they were designed to . Many Diesel turbos have port shrouding and very rarely are they run without ducting to an air filter . If the manufacturer wanted it not to work the gas ports would exit the cover through the outside of the boss ie the parallel section behind the barb .

asmuch as i would like to believe that its just bling factor, HKS have obviously done some R&D into this turbo with a particular housing combo and realised it surges, whether its engine and boost specific or whatever. 2rismo, doesnt matter if thier plumbed back into the induction pipe. thier there to releave flow when its surging.

and if its all bling why wouldnt they do it with all thier other turbos?

I dont get what you mean either, the pipe sits OVER the housing, not inside it.

So the holes, no matter if a pipe fed the bellmouth or not, would still flow air as designed

Im not getting you either :wave:

Silicon joiner gets hose clamped to the outside of housing, holes on inside. Why would the holes be obscured?????

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
