I choose a red for a couple simple reasons. The black and red have the same clipped td06h turbine, so as long as the compressors are in the range of efficient flow, they'll make similar power. They both use a cartridge based on the same cartridge the car came with, the 14b. I, as justin mentioned, don't feel comfortable pushing a 35r sized compressor on a 14b sized shaft, and bearing section. So, with boost limited to around 30 psi, the red spools quicker, and makes the same power.
I am curious as to how a black would perform in a 10 or 12cm t3 housing though.
Yet.To my knowledge Gofer is one of the higher HP AWD 68HTA and he's not making over 500awhp.
Throw a 7cm housing on it, totally different turbo.I have the hta red on my daily, it really is a laggy turbo for only a 54mm compressor but it does feel pretty good at 25-30psi with good fuel up top.
I would, but Im on 93 octane. Every tune Ive seen on 93 with this turbo so far has been limited to 26 psi or so, and Im peaking around 13 degrees of timing. Ive got the AFR in the high 10's. Im going to play with the timing this weekend if I have time to do it. Going to see if I can get it to 15- 16 degrees at 7K without knock.
In 3rd gear, I noticed that most of the time I see no knock and in 4th as well, but sometimes, I see 7- 8 counts around 5- 5.5K RPM, so Im going to pull a degree there and see if I can make it up between 6 and 7K.
This is a stock bottom end with a composite head gasket and standard ARP studs, so Im very wary of knock. When I was adusting my boost controller right after the install, I accidently took it to 35 PSI, it spooled so fast I didnt have a chance to let off! I didnt have the logger hooked up so Im unsure how much knock there may have been, but it couldnt have been good.
I can take my setup to 8K comfortably. Im just not sure if the BC springs and retainers like this much boost at their installed seat pressure or not, but the car feels very strong throughout the pull. I really want to go to the track and see what I can trap on pump gas.
Well I just got the black over 30psi and holy sh** did it wake up. At 31psi looks like it gained 40-50HP over 28.5psi. 31psi looks to be around 63lb/min, 590-600hp ish. **according to DSMLink. Dyno to come soon. Good luck on the red! Interested in seeing what it makes. I sold my red before I ever ran it and bought this black.
Thanks for the infoe73 ish. 14* up top and 12.1 AFR.
