If you are not going to eclipse the 500 whp mark, it is probably a waste IMHO to spend that money on a built bottom end...unless you want to go with a stroker for spool purposes

 

Go AMS 35r. Great manifold design for faster spool and the 35r is a monster for pump and meth. I don't think the spool is that bad. I'm a very novice drag racer and I embarrassed a shelby gt500 at the strip, I'm used to embarrassing them at SCCA events, now straitline events! Got to love a 2 liter 500 horse motor! 30R will max your stock block out though and if that's as far as you're going to go then go with that spool is 300-400 rpm sooner which IMO you'll never really notice on the street.

 

I have a friend that has ran pretty much every turbo you can on a evo and he likes the 3076 the best overall. Especially if u ever end up tracking it. But even on the street it is great. Just do a E85 conversion or meth injection and you will dominate most cars on the road.

P.S. of course I have another friend that says go big or go home...

 

I'm also in the same boat.. whats the advantages over the 30 with the green?

 

HTA35R Dont think twice

 

**Look at the type of fuel that you are going to run the majority of the time then your hp goals** That will def lead you in the right direction. More than likely im going to go with the HTA GT30R with the .82 from ETS. The green is a good turbo but i want a turbo that can put a "full weight" evo in the 10's on race gas. Besides with the 30R kit if i ever want to upgrade to a 35r all i have to do is switch turbos and i cant do that with a green. I will only run pump gas (93 oct) or race gas at the track. I looked at the most bang that i could get on pump with the least amount of lag. The HTA GT30R outperforms the green on pump and makes close numbers to a GT35R but will spool faster. just my thoughts. im sure if im wrong someone will correct me. Also read the post on here where Buschur tested the HTA GT30R.

 

i have a 3076r making 504whp 456tq at 29psi. when this was dynoed my TB seals were toast so there may have been a boost leak.

 

^^^Nice Numbers! seeing post like that further convinces me that the HTA GT30R is the way to go for me. Do u happen to remember what you made on pump? .63 or .82? thanks

 

35r.

30r if you're scared of power.

 

i think the 3076r with the .82 back housing is def nice....

 

i dont think it has anything to do with being scared of power but more about internals lasting...since i'll still be daily driving the car i dont want anything more than 500hp even if i am built on the daily tune just to be safe..i can always trun it up if need be too for track days and such

 

+1
i would say the 3065 also. it is in between a 30r and a 35r. best of both worlds with this turbo. good for a DD.

 

plus remember you don't have to boost all damn day long...only when you have to..or NEED to..lol..

 

I have seen numerous cars with 35r's on stock blocks run for years without a hickup.

the tune is WAY more important than the turbo you choose.

I have seen a car go 10.60's on a GT42r on a stock block with no problems.


Like i said. It's all about the tune.

 

Go with a ETS 35r with equal length manifold...... Awesome quality product and customer service.
