THANKS

Do the HTA FP 3582 & 3586 turbos use a metal or plastic cages in their ball bearings?

[r32-25t]

Plastic

[Mick_o]

As above... They use garrett cartridges

[afb312]

I was under the impression that the GTX range of Garret turbos used a metal cage... I could of course be wrong. Thanks for the answers though.

[r32-25t]

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

[juggernaut1]

You can opt to have them built with metal cages though.

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

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

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? 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

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.
