Be good to have a local account of an FP bolt on , I gather it's a BB green ? From memory they have a larger turbine than a 3076R and the 73HTA compressor .

I always wondered if they'd ever do a BB White or 71HTA but the Americans like to chase numbers .

Hope it works well cheers A .

Tis the BB 73HTA Green DP, and yeah the Americans are a bit on the big power side of preference... I think a 71HTA BB setup would provide what lot of people would really like (Mick sounded like he really wanted stock response which the Green realistically won't have, fortunately it's flow should more than make up for any extra lag :-D) but no option, but he at least got the last of the 65mm. FP have revamped the Greens and they now use a 67mm turbine and may even be moving to an open housing, which imho is actually moving away from the spirit of what the Green was all about.

I can't wait to hear reports from Mick and Piggaz on what the new beast will he like, it is already a potent thing and the new package is going to make me even more jealous :-(

The Americans could do worse than develop sub Green BB hi flows but the issue is probably chasing Rex performance with a 2L vs 2.5L . It's a big call trying to match a conventionally turbocharged 2.5 and technology is hard pushed to cover the torque hole at low revs with 2 litres . The aftermarket wants the numbers and puts up with lag in the hole because of it IMO . Probably why every second LHD Evo has a stroked motor too - 300cc lag bridge ..

I'm not sure if FP or anyone else uses a turbine smaller than FPs 65mm other than the TD06SL2 . At one stage GT Pumps did a Green HTA/SL2 but that was a locally brewed bush bearing turbo - I think they use their own billet wheel now .

I reckon concentrating on that punch is everything in an Evo because that's what they were designed to do . Maybe another way to look at it is take 4/5ths of what the RB25 did and aim for numbers like that . 80% of 330 is 265 and whilst that may not sound like a lot it could add up to more usable low to mid range punch than a 280+ WKW 4G63T .

A .

I think it's the other way around, the Subarus need that extra 500cc because EJs seem pretty weak at driving turbos and making torque - 2.3litre EVOs seem to punch harder at any given point than a EJ25, like for like... imho.

Going from the majority of results, the DBB Green is a beast of a thing - in most instances, people go bigger or stay there.... whether for road, track, drag. The gearing etc seem to make them quite usable, though again I look forward to Mick's assessment as I am familiar with his car and what he expects from it. Given he had a GTX3071R on an RB25, it'll make the 73HTA (which is arguably at least comparable flow wise) on a smaller motor an interesting comparison.

Oh i asked Fp if they would do a super 94 with a T04S comp cover to match the 3794 size wise. Unfortunately they can't, they didn't tell

me why.. but i am guessing that using the larger shaft, the center section is different and they cant run that backing plate to fit that comp cover..at a guess?

sucky..

cheers

^ I would guess the same, but why do you need to run the T04S housing? The Super-series housing isn't THAT much bigger afaik? And on the flipside, the GT3794R HTA doesn't flow THAT much less if you needed to run that... though the Supers are probably a bit stronger.

Was asking out of interest to do a low mount stealth Rb30 setup on stock manifold, the 3794 might not flow much less...

but i bet on a 3.0 motor it will make quite a healthy amount more backpressure on kill.. i don't have to tell you what that will do...lol

cheers

Yep fair enough, if you are going to be pushing it hard then the Super94 definitely makes more sense. Would be awesome to see one on an RB30, would be an absolute weapon!

Oh because there hasn't been any FP pr0n posted for a while, there are about 3 R35 GTRs (that I know of) now running ETS' "Little hero" turbo kit which consists of twin Super 99HTZs, and a couple of drag EVOs both aiming for the late model EVO record are running the same turbo in single form.

One of the R35s is based in Bahrain and did an 8.2 on low boost on it's first run, then in the second run destroyed the gearbox - but set the 60ft record for R35 GTRs on it's way to destruction.... with the kind of power it's capable of making (ie, 1800-2000whp) with that 60ft time (1.26) I suspect it's capable of in the 7.5-7.8 range going.

Here's one of the R35s doing 1/4 mile roll racing from 60mph at TX2K14 in Texas last week, it started off on "low" boost (dyno couldn't hold over 30psi) and checked and adjusted tune and raised it between runs... ended up hitting 196mph!

They "only" reached 35psi, so definitely more in the bag....

From what I read at FPs site the GT3794HTA is the largest of the GT35R based units thought it's supposed to have a GT37 sized turbine with the 94HTA wheel .

The Super 94 they say is based on 10mm rather than 8mm bearings so I gather they've moved up a Garrett GT cartridge size to the one used in the "T4R" series like P/60-1 and T04Z . These cartridges use bolt on back plates like the old T3 T4 etc and they use whats known as GT40 series compressor housings . Actually the 60-1 and T04Z versions used a cast iron back plate designed to mount the familiar T04S comp housing .

GT40 comp housings don't have to be huge and you see them on bush bearing GT37 and GT40 turbos , from memory the GT4082 uses a 0.58 comp hsg . Also look at pics of GT4088Rs to see more conventionally configured GT40 comp housings . I think FP has been doing GT37 and GT40 based HTA turbos for a while now .

A .

Surely if these guys can fit two down low in an R35, fitting a single Super99 HTZ down low in an RB-based Skyline shouldn't be too hard? Mayne I am being optimistic?

What am I missing here - what's going on a stock manifold?

Edit: OH Crap! I didn't see JetR31 saying stock manifold, my brain fully blocked that concept even when he said low mount. WTF?? You're worried about the GT3794R's turbine causing excessive exhaust pressure and you're running the stock manifold?

Ummm...... I'm very prepared to eat my hat if I get proven wrong here, but this doesn't sound like a good idea at all. Good spotting GTScoTT (or poor spotting by me haha). What kind of power are you after man?

I want to see what the stock manifold can flow. :)

Why not use it? As long as it's externally gated it should work well. Perhaps restricting a little flow, but $1500 for a manifold just to gain some top end isn't always value, especially in Victoria the nanny state.

Haha yeah to be honest I'd like to know myself, but there is no way I am going to try and convince someone else that it's a good idea - it's one of the reasons I am so conservative when I try and predict an outcome.... don't want to tell someone to expect a result and have them spend weeks and thousands of dollars on that basis only to fall short.

A recurring thought that this makes me feel PARTICULARLY like dwelling on now is that it probably wouldn't be stupidly hard to design a cast manifold which doesn't look high key but provides an external wastegate port and a place to mount a large turbo without breaking away from the stock look. I am going be involved with the build of a Supra aiming at 500+rwkw using an FSR manifold and a Precision 6466.

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
