I would say I’m sorry for reviving an old thread, but I’m not, so I won’t. ......soooooo.......after literally 5 years of planning and slowly gathering parts, I finally got my HTA3076 1.01ar twin

I forgot to mention my drive train.... jk40c 370z 6 speed close ratio gearbox, Jim Wolf technology adapter plate, auto rb25 bell, 1 piece aluminium tail shaft, Zspeed Performance stainless steel

This is what I was getting to with regards to the whole N/A V8 thing. A dyno shows the result as much worse, but in terms of how 'alive' the car feels afterwards, it's night and day, better in every w

The gtx does use metal cages, but the hta turbos are based off standard Garrett turbos

The Garrett based HTA turbos are based on Garrett cores, however the "FP" DBB turbos have metal cages - that covers the FP Green, Red, Black, Super94 and Super99 :) No doubt you can get the Garrett based ones with metal cages as well

Are the metal cages just for longevity? I know mine sure cops a lot of heat :ph34r:

Yep, is a durability thing. Though there are more than enough plastic cage GT users (my brother included) who have never had an issue.

Don't worry, just retain warranty information :)

Yeah have got all that ;)

I dont foresee any issues with the turbo i guess.... I would guess the thing copping the boost would let go first :laugh:

LOL possibly.

It should also be noted that Simon saw the same issue with his GT's that he did with the GTX that replaced it. I'm sure you saw the recent thread on that, so meh.

Nope? :blink: Link?

Strangely enough thinking about it I know of hardly any GT-series based HTA turbo failures - not sure I definitely know of any, and I know of quite a number which have been used for track racing etc. Like usual, it'll be heat that causes any major issues.... odds are if its not on high boost and it's not sustaining heavy thrashing for a long time there (hopefully) won't be an issue. Touch wood, it's be fine so far!

In 34GeeTeeTee's case I suspect the stock motor is the bit we should be more worried about :/

Haha it's had a good innings so far and will continue to get driven they way it should :P

Plenty of events coming up this year! I really should invest in a back up now i mention that!

Come on dude, I thought you were an enthusiastic forum member! Can't be falling behind like this LOL

Lith you are probably on the money (at least in my own mind). Hand in hand does pound for pound improvement go with improved efficiency, which is translated in lower charge temp and subsequent EGT. I would say the ratio of shaftspeed to flow at the compressor side has been engineered to benefit hotside flow, which would also greatly benefit.

All in all they are superior turbos, and likely to have better lifespan as a result.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
