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

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.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
