i have an hta35r with the faster spooling .63 hotside. the lag isnt unbearable but its definately worth looking into getting a twinscroll mani and hotside.

on 93 octane you will be better off with the hta35r

oh and dude, make sure its an hta35r not a gt35r. like i said the lag isnt bad but if it was any slower id be pissed off (but the top end will blow your mind)

 

they are two totally different animals, you want quick spool but still make 550 on race gas the red is the man.

you want to make 500 on pump 35, but lag.


you said you will rebuild your long block in about 20k just make sure it would last that long with either one of those turbos they are a different class

 

easy.... RED

 

go with the REDzilla!

 

i was looking at similar decision on my build and i chose red for the powerband over the numbers that the hta35r might be able to offer for the extra buck and work...

 

I used to have a green with all the mods and stock 2.0L and at the track I kept beating a car with almost the same mods except that he had a GT35R. It is a 2.5 mile course and even in the half mile stretch, he never pulled ahead of me. Now I have a new 2.3L motor with a RED and it feels like a monster, even though I only have a partial tune by email. I can't wait for the tuner to get here and tune my car in person and with the meth kit I have already intalled. For the moment it is only motor, no meth and it works awsome with the RED.
