Hi guys

I will be fitting an HTA3076 to my R34 (already bought the turbo based on previous advice on here). Basically I have the following current set up

R34 RB25 neo stock internals

garrett GT3076r .63 housing

tuneagent cheap manifold

external gate

1000cc id injectors

tomei type b 260 cams

big fuel pump, surge tank, exhaust, front mount etc

power fc running caltex e flex all the time making 320 rwkw.

The car currently runs 22 psi but drops down to 16 psi at the top end. Dyno sheet attached.

To give some background, I asked a few questions in this thread:

http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/426059-forced-performance-hta-turbos/page-15

The car was dropping down to 16 psi and even with the .63 housing was laggier than other people running a larger rear housing, but I decided to leave the car as it was until now. The turbo now appears to have shit itself so I am now replacing it. I thought hard about whether I should just put the HTA on the manifold I have now but given the boost control issue and the lag I think I would be better off changing the manifold, gate, turbo, housing and putting on a quality setup.

The question is what rear housing to go. I see a lot of talk of twin scroll for GT35 size turbos but not so much for for this HTA3076. What do people think of the following:

http://gcg.com.au/turbo-parts/turbine-housings/garrett-gt30r-series-1/turbine-housing-gt30r-t3-split-pulse-detail

http://gcg.com.au/turbo-parts/turbine-housings/garrett-gt30r-series-1/turbine-housing-gt30r-v-band-in-out-split-pulse-detail

Obviously if I went the divided housing I would get a proper manifold with either single or twin gates made up to suit. Looking to run 22-24 psi (stock internals). Unsure exactly what springs to order here. Around the desired PSI I want to run?

I was curious as to what size housing would be best and emailed GCG and they said:

In a similar ratio single entry vs dual entry comparison, power levels will be almost identical, however spool rates can be improved u to 800rpm depending on the application. If a proper manifold is made to suit split pulse, the advantages are very noticeable. Our most common 2.5L size would be either 0.82a/r or 0.83a/r. We haven’t used that many 1.01a/r split pulse turbos in this application, so we don’t really have any numbers between 0.82 S/E vs 1.01 D/E. Either way, anything in the 0.8** range is ideal for this engine.

Basically I am leaning towards going for the .83 twin scroll housing based on GCG's reply above, stating that power levels will be almost identical but will spool quicker. I drive the car on the street and would like less lag than what I have now. If I can also get more top end that is a bonus but I would really like to get some quick spool happening.

However I have read other people say that when you go twin scroll you go up a housing size as they restrict the top end.

So I just thought I would post this up as I know there are some very knowledgeable people on these boards. What are peoples thoughts on these rear housings?

Thanks

Can't see your dyno sheet, bear in mind it only demonstrates what happens under full load. Not the real world transient response. I drove Mafia's 3076 0.63 setup, and reckon for road use that turbo with either water injection or E85 it's great on a RB25. Comes in earlier, also signs out earlier. But gives easy access to big streetable hp. Not ideal for track, IMO though.

Street use only, run with the 0.82 split pulse. But you must be prepared to get a well designed manifold with twin gates. That's going to cost, but it will get the best result. Wolverine's 3082 0.82 split pulse setup was extremely smooth and progressive. Don't recall that it rolled over up top, seemed pretty good. If you're running E85 it should be sensational.

A single scroll 0.82 would be far simpler to get a decent manifold and gate setup. Less complexity, less cost. Easier to install and maintain stuff. Again on E85, you're way ahead. Still, have to expect it will take around 4000-4200 to make 22psi, but it would run hard to 7500, maybe more given you have non standard cams.

You are probably going to find the 1.0x GT30 housings (in either single entry or split pulse) much less easy to get onto - do you know what their actual availability is? The thing I have noticed when playing with a 1.06 split pulse housing was that they are bulky and really make access to the oil & water lines on the centre cartridge very difficult. That alone would be enough to make me look elsewhere.

For best results, you can't beat cubic inches. Get a RB30 bottom end under that head. Run with the simpler/cheaper single scroll 0.82 and E85.

Hey man I'm also looking at doing the .83 twin scroll rear on a hta3076 but on a s1 rb25 with pon cams on e85... 

Did you end up going down this route? What result did you see??

Fwiw I also went from a gt3076 to HTA 3076 on my 34 gtt, it isn't done yet but as with you i also went with the Poncams and water/meth (no e85) I was fully prepared to go the twin scroll route but after much reading it seemed the concensus was 'it's not worth it for a turbo this size that's already responsive' so I got a top Mount 6 boost manifold and single scroll rear, .82 I think?

Yeah man I pmed you last week about yours... Have a look in your inbox brother

Hey sorry for the late reply. I did end up purchasing the twin scroll housing and getting a workshop to fit it all up and tune it. The car will not hold boost and drops back to 16psi at redline for some reason (down from 22 psi, it did the same thing with my old 3076). However it still makes 353 rwkw at that 16 psi. It is a totally different car to drive. At the same rpm where it used to make under 200rwkw it now makes almost 300 rwkw. Compared to what I had before (garrett 3076 .63 with a tuneagent manifold) it now almost feels like going back to a car with the stock turbo down low.

here is the new sheet. At 115 klms per hour it makes about 290 rwkw. So it made a pretty big difference.

Also the torque is way up. At 95 klms on the old turbo it made 150nm whereas with the new turbo it makes 300nm at 95klms.

Thanks for your reply man [emoji4]

What size a/r twin scroll rear housing did you end up using? And what manifold did you mate it with?

What boost control are you running and what size gate?

Sorry for 20 questions brother hahah

+1 actually following up with results
 

.63 rears just are kind of shit in the real world, you nearly never get a better result or a more responsive result from going that way. See also: Cheap manifolds. Use the stocker (its really not that bad) or go full retard and twin scroll high mount things.

Great news, great result.  Got pics of the install?  As per PWRLaurel, interested to see more about the manifold (and gate/s) setup.

 

Could be FMIC related as the pressure is dropping dramatically across the core.. so hot side could still be 22psi however cold side is 16psi (as an example).

Try hooking up the pressure source from the cold side to your actuator and block off the pressure source (compressor side).

And "if" it's hitting 22psi all the way, then you know your FMIC is playing silly buggers.

Another plausible possibility for sure... I run my turbosmart eboost2 boost gauge source from the plenum and I have a separate Omori Boost gauge source from the compressor housing and there is a very slight (less then a full second) delay in me reaching my target boost at the plenum and the compressor spikes to 1psi higher at the same time.

Correct me if I'm wrong but could another possibility be faulty/weak bov?

^^ Consider boost leaks from any/everywhere.

I'd also think about the air intake pipe, filter, intercooler piping, intercooler, and every part of the exhaust system.

Some flow-restrictive areas aren't immediately obvious until after they're changed, and the hp output increases like magic.

I wouldn't consider it "that" easy to push a setup like VKAdam has up near the 400kW mark without a few challenges.  But what he's got now is pretty impressive!

For sure man! Its a great result especially compared to the old gt3076...

As far as boost leaks go,

I spray soapy water all around the bay and use compressed air (30-35psi) through a 2-1/2 inch tapered pvc tap and pressurise my whole system to eliminate boost leaks! Works a treat and I very rarely have any leaks cos I do the test a few times a year or whenever I'm doing an intercooler flush or turbo inspection or swap etc...

I would suggest vkadam does something similar to rule that out also..

Went with the .83 twin scroll

The manifold was sinco and used two turbosmart 40mm comp gates. The workshop also put in a Nitto Head gasket, ARP head studs and Performance valve springs.  Also put 1600cc injectors in and retuned. For some reason my 1000ccs were at a pretty high duty cycle at only 320 rwkw.

DaleFZ1 - Thanks for your advice in this thread, appreciate it. I do not have pics, however if you are interested I could take some.

Laurelpower and dosepipe sutututu- yea I will try and find where the boost leak is occurring. If it ran 22 or 24 psi to redline it would have to be getting close to 400kw, so that would be good. However at the moment I can't really put that power to the ground effectively.

 

Plans for the car are:

- get boost leak fixed

- flare rear guards

- alignment to reduce negative camber in rear

- new wider and grippier rear tyres

 

Car currently has 18x10 +15 on the rear with stock guards not even rolled and there is very little clearance. It currently has ksport coilovers that came with the car and are relatively hard. It does look to have some negative camber which means it never scrubs. I am hoping if I roll and flare the rear guards I can run less negative camber without scrubbing and get much better traction without spending too much more money. Traction at the moment is really lacking.

I too have had struggles with traction so I added some micro flares, some 315/30/18 nitto nt01 semi slicks and re aligned the car to only .8° camber on both rears. I can't recommend the nt01 enough. Excellent grip even without a warm up. I also run my rear coilovers and sway bar on the softest settings.

As far as your turbo/engine set up is concerned, have you read the thread about a hta3076 by 34GeeTeeTee on his rb25 Neo ?
His engine set up is very similar to yours except single scroll not twin scroll but (absolutely no offence intended) his results are far more impressive than yours... Here's his dyno for before and after the turbo swap e2beec2c9ea4423b64eea4edca8d7874.jpg

Blue line is gt3076 and red line is hta3076



Here the link to the thread: Forced Performance Hta Turbos


There must be a restriction or boost leak somewhere in your system bro...

    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number.
