Thanks for the responses. We'll the hta on twinscroll would be an even better combo would it not?

34geeteetee did you go from garrett gt3076r to hta 3076? And still happy with the results?

Are you running a single scroll 6boost low mount?

Yes it was a back to back swap with awesome results!

No mine is high mount.

Any particular reason you went high mount? What size compressor and turbine housing did you get?

Not really, i likes the way it looked in engine bays and figured it would be easier to work on... If i was to do it again i would have the turbo sitting further forward to make it easier to work on!

The housing is still a 4 bolt 0.82.

You'd probably get lower underbonnet temps and the dump etc is shorter and less obvious looking, but its a pain to fit ,

I was bit disappointed with the twin scroll, quite laggy in my case, maybe the use of twin gates would of made it more responsive im not sure but gave up on it.

Larger than gt3076? Did not realise this, hopefully will be all good :/

Yes, same size cover as the GT35... I thought i mentioned it but might not have :/

Are you on a stock manifold or aftermarket? (Sorry couldn't be bothered going back a few pages lol)

Low mount with a GT35 compressor cover? Good luck getting that to fit, 6Boost manifolds don't allow many turbo's even top mounted.

The twin gate setups are very tight... I would externally gate the turbine housing on the stock manifold if you are heading down the low mount route.

If your going to go a HTA 3076 twin scroll and wan't 330rwkw on pump fuel then I would suggest a T3 1.01 or T4 1.06 twin scroll ex hsg. I would also suggest a twin gate twin scroll manifold over a single ...so then the costs start adding up once the associated plumbing is also factored in.

Running a HTA3076 or even a GTX3076 on a .78 twin scroll hsg will just limit the top end potential of these turbos with potentially additional lag over the Garrett GT counterparts. The biggest GT30 turbo I would run with the .78 hsg on pump fuel would be a T56 GT3076 and event then I'd say it could limit the top end potential of that turbo. I'm not even sure I would run a GT30 size .78 twin scroll hsg on a RB 25 period given your hp goals on pump fuel.

I tried to find pics of the 6boost low mount design and i remember it had to have a bit of the engine mount shaved to fit the comp housing even on the GT3076...

I was going to still run one gate with the twin scroll,.. Would retaining the standard low mount leave more room than the 6 boost low mount? Had anybody heard of hta3076 on standard exhaust manifold?

Geeteetee did you have your 6 boost manifold before upgrading to your hta?

Are you saying the t3 1.01 twin? Or only t4 twin scroll beside t3 twin would be a restriction ?

yes mine was always high mount!

Twin scroll options aren't really available for them either...

Maybe a TS GTX3071 will be a better option for more response and fitting low etc?

Your call with running one gate on a twin scroll setup.

I'm saying either a T3 1.01 or T4 1.06 but you would need to buy the hsg separately such as from GCG or the like.

Personally, if it were my car and I was budget conscious I'd stick with a single scroll setup with the HTA 3076 and run a 3.5 inch dump back to the cat to get the turbo on boost as soon as possible.

I run a twin scroll twin gate setup on my SR20 and love it.....but money was of no concern to me.

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
