I figure if an Evo TD0516G can do 206 kw two may work in the right housings .

To make a GTX67 with the 90 trim cropped turbines it's probably easier to start with a 2867 cartridge and exchange turbines .

If you're going to use GTRS comp housings make sure you get cartridges with the 52T 71mm GT compressor because that what GTRSs have .

A few of you know about the problems and stress I had with Jacky Chan from CJ Motor when I bought my HTA turbo from him.

When I spoke to Mike the Manager from Forced Performance he told me they only had one official distributor here in Australia. Charles from Lamspeed. I was in contact with Charles a few times, he is helpful and knows his stuff.

If you are thinking of buying one of these turbos I would either buy directly from Forced Performance or if you want buy local use Charles from Lamspeed.

This is why i went direct!

What was the result in the end if you don't mind me asking? Did you sort out the turbo/money? I know it's not right to be talking negatively about a workshop/supplier but if they are down right scamming people then fair play I say

Yeah try not to name names or put shit on workshops on the forum, it always ends up badly... Feel free to elaborate just dont put names etc on it if you can avoid it!

Or PM each other if you feel the need...

FP have been pretty busy, looks like a bunch of their range has been getting a bit of a make over - the HTA3076 and HTA3582 now have custom antisurge FP compressor covers with 3.25" intakes, and also their own turbine housing options, the HTA3076 has a .73a/r option, and the already known of .85 option for the GT3582R.

Still hoping to hear results for the 6466TZ, though the HTZ range is growing - Rob has already confirmed a 79HTZ compressor and there are potentially others coming along soon.

The new HTA3076s look like this: 84GT761.jpg

Yeah its the super 94 twin scroll, the motor should be nearly finished by lewis maybe 2 more weeks then shipped to gold coast to be fitted and a run in tune so should be running within a month but I work away so its a pain in the ass trying to organize stuff but getting closer now, heres some more hta porn

Can't wait to see how this beast goes?

Not the prettiest looking thing :P

Just made a build thread so you can keep updated

Haha, was going to wait till its sorted and run all in.... also been bloody busy lately.

Spool seems more or less PT6466 spool Whig is a good start. If it lives up to the HTA 3794 flow numbers then it's a damn good thing

Just a bit of a FYI, while I was discussing turbo options for a mate I was pointed at this - Owen Developments in the UK are partnered with FP and given they have an aftermarket more like ours, the range of FP HTA/HTZ based turbos they have are probably more relevant to NZ and Oz. Here are some which may be particularly interesting here:

This beasty I reckon could be a neat "next step up" for those who an HTA3076 isn't quite enough but full GT3582R type madness is a bit too much:

HTA2865: http://www.owendevelopments.co.uk/product/430/Owen_Developments-Garrett_ODGT2865HTA/

^ This and the HTA2868 for GTRs and Silvias... tbh I'd be particularly interested in the HTA2865 in twin form, not sure how it'd go but the 2868s have apparently worked well but I'd consider them a bit on the large side for most people's taste - especially with that turbine.

HTA3073: http://www.owendevelopments.co.uk/product/429/Owen_Developments-Garrett_ODGT3073HTA/

^ This one should need no introduction, has been discussed but there has been question on if it is still done. It is, apparently :)

The FP Zephyr HTZ compressor on a GT35 turbine, guessing this would be a very nice and probably better matched alternative for those who would otherwise consider a GTX3576R - HTZ3579: http://www.owendevelopments.co.uk/product/389/Owen_Developments-Garrett_ODGT3579HTA/

These all have steel bearing cages, too.

I think the HTA2865 would be good on a 2.8, but a touch big for a 2.6 and the turbine a touch small for a 3.0, I would like to see a HTA3068 as a bolton for those of us with 3.0 cause IMO the 28 turbine becomes a restriction when you get into the mid-high 20 psi range

If a 2.6, 2.8 or a 3.0 are making say 700 hp, would exhaust has volume be any different?

If everything downstream of the engine provides the same resistance to a given amount of flow, but the engine itself provides less resistance to whatever is pumping into it (ie, turbos) then there becomes less intake pressure versus exhaust pressure... which happens to be one of the bigger influences on volumetric efficiency.

I could be wrong, but there may be an answer to our turbine issues soon...

If a 2.6, 2.8 or a 3.0 are making say 700 hp, would exhaust has volume be any different?

All things been equal I believe so but there are to many variables like engine efficiency etc

The 3 would also be doing it at different RPMs as they flow different amounts at the same RPM which was my point, a 3.0 at 8000rpm flow a fair bit more then a 2.6 at the same rpm and even more when you start puming 28psi of boost pressure into it

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
