discopotato03 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 At the time I was happy to buy a clean mostly std 96 without ABS , just more crud you can't legally remove and expensive boxes that can fail . Couldn't escape the drivers handbags though . If I had to rebuild a 25 short I'd use Neo style rods pistons and lid . A .

Piggaz Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Nope, though I personally wouldn't go for the HTA2868 twins that are available - I doubt the combination would match up overly well to an RB... especially when squeezed into those little housings. Owen Developments sell them though, and someone installed a pair on his GTR but then had an engine failure which set him back something fierce so not sure if or when that will be back together. It seems folly to me to try and push past the "-5s" flow at this stage in those housings, I guess the closest to a setup like that which I would like to see would be more like upgrading low mount T517Zs to use the 68HTA wheels, probably less likely to surge and generally be a better match. Fair point. I had a feeling that little rear housing would/is the bottle neck. -5's it is then!

Lithium Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Fair point. I had a feeling that little rear housing would/is the bottle neck. -5's it is then! What would be nice would be an HTA equivalent of -9s IMHO, something that flowed a bit more than -5s but spooled better than any low mount bolton option currently available.

But mine is spec.....

Dose Pipe Sutututu Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Yours looks more stock than most RB25DET engine bays, defect free I guess? then again it depends on the copper I've been pulled over in my shitbox and popped the hood. I told the copper it's stock and he was like yeah it looks pretty stock to me, close bonnet.. happy days. Maybe the stock airbox saved me from a defect, hopefully be getting turbo/manifold by Q3 after my tax returns hehe Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/426059-forced-performance-hta-turbos/page/11/#findComment-6899442 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryRB Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) A low mounted 6boost I think could almost get away with it, with a heat shield on the top you could just about cover up the turbo too.

If you are fouling the front housing on the 3037 then the HTA version wouldn't have much chance as it has a bigger front cover again, i should have got a side by side pic but i didn't think of it at the time!
