Can a HTA GT3076R make 500whp on Pump safely?
DO IT!!! im curious to see how it will do if i do a 2.3... i also had 18x9.5 and 265/35 on it with buschurs original short route intercooler, which is their smallest core, but i have almost no piping....
I think the answer is likey yes. I recently experimented by fabricating a Short Runner TwinScroll T4 setup with the GTX3076R, which is similar to the HTA3076R. My thought was that people make good power on a ported stock exhaust manifold, so why not create something similar in a tubular header for the T4 TS footprint.
I run a Garrett 1.06 a/r T4 turbine housing cut for a GT30r turbine wheel and you can see the setup below. Here is the build thread....Short Runner T4 TwinScroll


The car made 441hp/376ft-lbs at 31.5psi on 93 octane, but with my daily boost of 30psi the car makes around 420hp/355ft-lbs in 50F weather. I get 22psi @ 4K rpm in 3rd gear so the setup is definitely responsive. Below is the 31.5psi street pull(most impressive pull), but I can post a 30psi pull when I return from travel. Keep in mind this is stock head, stock cams, stock intake and stock tb.

When I install my GSC S2's, port the head, and upgrade the stock intake manifold the car would likely be capable of 500whp@30psi on pump.

Not according to the compressor maps.
We'll find out soon, we'll be testing on our forged engine next year.
personally i'm looking at running this turbo or a EFR turbo.
with a 0.82 TS T3 ex housing, it will make 18psi at about 3600-3700 rpm. (on a 2.0 litre with VVT)

Well, I think I'll be able to come close enough. If anyone knows someone who wants to work out a trade for a DBB Anti-Surge Polished GT35r with a .63 exhaust housing this summer, let me know and we'll work something out. I'm also going to stock ECU and Speed Density, as well as a Magnus and a new dump, so hopefully we'll be able to get there.
When I went from the GT35R to the HTA35(both with .63 housing) the results were faster spool and more power. With your mods and a HTA35 at 26psi you should be or close to 500whp.

^^^ i love the HTA option. I would do that if I were you. My custom set-up was built for the way I like to drive it. I love it when the sticky 265 BF's break loose and I get a tease at drifting lol I do wonder if a 35r will be a lazier set up down low with a 2.0...
