anyone has any idea what exhaust housing would help and how much $$?

 

get the HTA special

 

what is that? lol

 

You ask... WHAT IS A HTA35R?

The FP3582HTA turbocharger is very similar to the standard GT3582R Garrett turbocharger in overall size and footprint, but that is where the similarities end and your new found power begins. It comes with a 4" inlet and 2.5" outlet anti-surge ported compressor housing. This new and improved style of anti-surge port provides a longer and more gentle bell mouth guide for the air all the way down to the inducer tips. The standard turbine housing is the T31 housing in 2.5" outlet for compact installation applications such as 4G63. Other turbine housings styles are available.

Repeated dyno testing and thousands of miles of street punishment have shown how much faster spooling the HTA is compared to the normal 35R. Midrange and bottom end torque which are usually dismal in regular .82 A/R GT35r kit cars are DRAMATICALLY improved with HTA compressor technology!

If you always wanted a 35R on your car, but just could not stand the thought of all that lag - then you have found the answer to your troubles. At 4800rpm the FP3582HTA delivers a 50ft-lb torque increase over the standard Garrett 35R.

FP HTA™ GT3582R Turbocharger

Send in your Garrett GT35R turbocharger to be upgraded to our FP HTA™ GT3582R turbocharger. Upgrade cost is $600.00 and includes an HTA™ Compressor Cover, HTA™ Compressor Wheel and balance to meet our requirements for the FP HTA™ GT3582R turbocharger. We only upgrade the compressor side, so to save on shipment weight, you would be allowed to ship only the CHRA and compressor cover to us. However if you do ship with an exposed turbine wheel please take very special care to protect the turbine wheel. A piece of thick cardboard tube to cover the turbine wheel is an excellent way to protect the wheel.

 

haha of course I know what is a HTA35r, but had no idea of the term hta special ... thanks for the info DIDYSIS, I will think about that conversion, the only problem will be the down time my car will have... once you receive it, how long it takes to complete the job?

 

I thought you prob did know of it but was not sure, ya always sucks having the turbo down, Good luck, you can do the old tale, live with it and just beat them on the long run. so far my HTA seems great, but I have not driven a standard one. So who knows. maybe sometime I will be able to check both out. can always get a 2.3L also for faster spool. I got both

 

For now a stroker kit is out of the picture... im not looking to spend that amount of cash right now

 

2 litre and single scroll 35r has no low end power. No amount of cams, race fuel, HTA, etc will make a difference. Moving to a smaller A/R might help if you have a large one currently. Moving to twin-scroll setup might help. But otherwise the only change you can make is to try to make more power up top so you don't mind the lack of power down low.

 

Yeah seems like I wont be getting much low end power without going stroker ... what can I do to get more power up top?

 

Hta with twin scroll will give you great low end power on a stock motor

 

Well now there is an easy question to answer. Here are some ideas:

a) if your pump gas in panama is not so good, you could run a mix of race fuel and pump fuel to make more power. for example you could add a gallon or two of c16 to every fill up and you might be able to make a bit more power

b) you could find out if e-85 is available or you could import yourself

c) if your not 1000% sure of your tuner, you could try a different tuner that you trust is making the most out of your setup

d) optimize your parts combination you run currently, more efficient intercooler, better cams, better a/r choice on the turbine housing, etc.. ( i did not look at your setup though, so those are just general ideas)

e) you can run meth injection

Lot's of ideas to make more power. If you get your car making around 600 hp everyday driving you probably won't mind the losses down low.

 

I would suggest the hta upgrade and get a tuner to lean out the fuel mixture in low rpms to help with spool with meth injection to control knock if you don't uses e85 or c16. Maybe some 272 cams would help to.

 

Would the diameter of the IC pipes effect lag?

 

hell the 95 should be really good!!
