Best results seem to favour the turbo housing, as long as the gate can get good flow. I managed to help squeeze 430kw out of the factory manifold using a gate off the housing.

Welding the the manifold makes it too hard to clean up the inside with a die grinder afterwards. You can't just weld a gate on at a 90 and expect it to flow well.

Housing sounds good. Preparing to invest in a HTA 3076 :turned:
Obviously staying low mount for a more standard appearance but wanted to know many people are going that way.
Any idea what kinda of power I could push with one running 16-20psi with supporting mods? Car's a 33 GTST. I'm still running standard head gasket but previous owned had forged motor built. So I'm not sure how much boost I can push.

Depends on your choice of fuel mate :)

An FP3076HTA is a lot of turbo for BP98 and stock exhaust manifold etc. Be sure that it's definitely the turbo that is holding you back in power, otherwise you could spend a lot of money and not get the kind of return you want... or expect.

No worries. I appreciate the input. Been having dramas gettin decent power becuase I cheaped out in the first turbo I bought for it.

Whats on it now?

Tuners are always fond of pointing the finger at a turbo, even the best tuners I've used will do it. Maybe describe what you have (if its still on there) and we can give some pointers in relation to what it should be doing and where it may have gone wrong?

Its a GTX3076R with a 0.82 rear housing with standard dump pipe flange. I've been told they're no good for flow by a few members on here. Can you confirm or correct this please :happy: I'm aiming upwards of 280rwkw
I'm only making 220rwkw at 16-18 psi

Wtf. What engine is that on? And what standard dump pipe flange? While I prefer the HTA turbos... A GTX3076R should be yawning at that power level, this is definitely sounding like a case of working out what isn't working the way it should. I wouldn't spend a lot of money swapping turbos at this stage

RB25DET Built with Nitto/JE Pistons and rings and spool rods. All bottom end was assebled professionally with Reco'd head. Boostn Imports was selling kit a while ago that came with a Sonic/MTQ rear housing that bolts to the standard dump pipe, internally gated of course. I was silly and didn't do my research and I cheaped out and bought it.
Other mods are full 3" exhaust, 600x300x80mm cooler, button clutch. ECU is a Wolf 3d V4. Fuel is with 044 and Nismo 740cc injectors.

I thought I bought all the correct supporting mods but I think its the turbo holding it back.

No way that it's the turbo holding you back. Might be your standard dump. Is your Cat a highflow aswell I knocked mine out and got 280kws at 16psi with boost tapering off to 12.Clutch was slipping too. With a stock engine.

As others have said no way it's the turbo.

With a R33 highflow.

Its a full 3" similar to a JJR one. I'm sort of lost in what to do now. Cat is a stainless 3" good quality one

Even Ash R31 Nismoid suggested it was a rubbish housing.

The car makes no more power after 6000rpm

Definitely the housing mate you will probably find its a .70 and not a .82 as suggested..I was offered the same housing on my GTX3071 and ditched it for a garrett housing my car went onto make 288kw on 98 and 336kw on E85. I can 100% assure you that's the issue might be up for cool grand for a .82 garrett rear and a new dump pipe plus a tickle up on your tune but that's less than half the price of the turbo.. Maybe a bit more if ya not handy on the tools :yes:

Thanks, now thats been confirmed. Would you suggest the 5 bolt genuine garret IW or a 4 bolt external with wastegate setup? The only reason I ask is that I've heard sometimes the wastegate flapper on the housing sometimes need machining for higher boost.

I had 5 bolt genuine garrett IWG with 14psi actuator and it held 25psi with a good EBC fine boost dropped to 23 up top but that's cause the turbo was maxed out. IWG will be cheaper and easier to set up and will probably still net ya 280kw easy

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
