Because going straight to a 94HTA might be too much of a jump in one shot? ;)

LOL no no, because of a reason he can't recall :P

Why not super 99? Because of reason cannot recall.

I find it interesting that FP no longer offer twin scroll housings........

E85 and other variants have probably reduced the dependency on twin scroll systems somewhat. This and twin scroll setups are still likely to cap peak outputs....which is no good from a marketing point of view.

Still prefer a twin scroll setup myself on a street car - coupled with E85.

Yeah, me too. My RB based dream build is pretty much an R33 GTR with an RB30/26 and a TS 3794HTA on the side of it - the concept seems like good thing I get probably a little too happy just thinking about it hahaha

Lol you clowns haha

You get that, because of a reason I can't recall ;)

LOL that's the spirit.

P.S. I would say we dream about the same things, but if you were dreaming about my wife I would be worried. So for now it will have to be just our R33 dreams, for reason I can't recall.

I cant recall how this all started..... But git farked :P

Quick question - does anyone know whether the HTA turbos use the Garrett cores with the metal bearing cages which I understand are used in the GTX turbo's or the plastic bearing cages as typically found in the traditional GT style turbos.

I asked FP this question about a year ago and did not get a direct answer. However, they did say the core is an off the shelf GT item and will be the same as what is found in a normal GT3076R.

Thus... Expect it to be a plastic cage.

I sent them an email today .......so will see if the response has changed. Am hoping they are using the gtx cores.

I was looking at the hta 3582 or hta 3586 for my G6E turbo. Otherwise the GTX 3576 would be a punchy performer on the falcon motor.

Unless you are ordering this as a 'highflow' alternative to slot into the OEM housing I would definitely be looking at something bigger. Even their 3786 I would say is a better option... Not to go back on the said theme of going 'bigger' but I am sure you could get a local turbo builder to reprofile the OEM housing to accommodate the GT37 turbine, too.

To me I see the barra as wanting a larger hotside than it has a compressor, so if to pick from a 3582 or 3586 logically my theory would say to pick the 3582... BUT results have indicated the 3582HTA packs the usual 3582 punch but sports response closer to that of a garden variety 3076R.

So... It seems like you want a smallish upgrade, but personally I don't think those turbos are good options for the barra. Maybe Lith can chime in and push a super 94 LOL?? Now that would be an interesting upgrade :)

Am unsure if the sheer efficiency of these turbos will mean the 4L motor maxes it out super early (caps power at a low rpm but spools mega quick) or if their said efficiency will mean it can cope.. Perhaps the fact they can cope with 5 bar PR will mean the later... Unsure.

I think HG has also done some XR6 stuff, maybe ask him for a link to some results by PM. (if serious about the small upgrade/highflow path)

Did you see my post a few back of the 3794R on the XR6? There are a few 450-550kw XR6T HTA3794 things lurking in Oz if I understand correctly

450 -500 is gtx 3582 territory on e85 on a stock ford and generally 400 plus on 98. In any case is far more than I am wanting from my daily which has to pull my boat.

Happy to step it down to the gtx 3576 for bit less.

I've reconditioned many XR6 BA turbochargers up to date, the highest power level I've seen was 430rwkws on E85 fuel. Probably because there are so many of them, I only found a small percentage of cars been modified. Out of the minority the average power level is between 330~360rwkws, many of them been autos.


On a Rb25det this turbocharger is horribly laggy, throttle response was poor, definitely nothing enjoyable for a daily.

Just for some fun, I dragged a close customer's R33 that currently has a GT3582R .82 turbocharger fitted, with my Kia sportage at his private run way at a farm yard. He's car is "said" to be tuned at 397rwkws, and my Kia has only 176fwkws. He wasn't been able to beat me till 140KM/H, and obviously at that point I could see him flying pass like a rocket.

The 3576 isn't much better then a 3582, which I originally thought it might pickup some response, the difference was very marginal, but it did pull 347rwkws on a stock manifold internally gated at 29psi.

I have finely tuned a ATR45 turbocharger (XR6 BA replacement) to work with a Rb25det, which I will use it for a base map running against those billet SS4 prototypes that I've made. At this point it is pretty derivable unlike the original item. I should have some results tomorrow, and very interested to see if HTA can tackle the lag issue better.

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
