CAN I PLEASE ASK A MODERATOR TO PLEASE REMOVE MY COMMENTS TO JACKY CHAN ON PAGE 30.

CAN THESE PLEASE BE DONE ASAP

THANKS

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!

Nope? :blink: Link?

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.

Well there you go eh? :laugh:

I was off the forums for a while man, am hopefully back to make an ass of myself once again :yes:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
