HTA68 and Evo III 16g pics

[GDNF2ET]

Took some pics of my HTA68 with my Evo III 16g...

 

[JusMX141]

Hmmm....built from what began life as a Big 16G. Interesting!

Of course the Big 16G's 7cm housing can be bored to accept a larger turbine where the Evo III 16G's housing cannot because it's too thin. This thing's begging for a turbine upgrade!

 

[Dsmj89]

Compressor wheel looks big. Install it and let me know how it goes ! I've been dying to see someone test this turbo out for once.

 

[toofast82]

I'm hoping you'll have some type of before/after logs, dyno,etc
If that thing was matched with a tdo6h turbine, it would be pretty nasty.

 

[turbo addict]

what is the a/r on that is it a 7cm for sure or something else?

 

[JusMX141]

Looks strangely familiar to a turbo I've seen as recently as a couple summers ago which now lives on a GST somewhere near Austin, TX....

It's like Deja Vu! I was looking into the future!

curious on the numbers this thing posts. Billet 16g sounds awesome!

I suspect the td06sl2 turbine wheel would be absolutely perfect for this turbo. And still super sleeper. It's harder to pull the o2 housing than the intake pipe

I hav'nt had the 16g on there in about two years..Will be comparing it to the bolt-on 35R that is still on there..I have to address a slipping tranny before I switch turbos though.
My car is an automatic and I'm hoping it will brake boost on the line like the Evo16g did...

Beautiful

Can you measure the inducer?

I see, well it should still be interesting to see how it compares to the bolt-on 35r.
Is there anything else you are changing on the setup?

I would think the HTA68 should still brake boost pretty well

If you're not running 100% line pressure shifts, i'd suggest you give it a try before you pull the tranny. This costs around $20 to try and it worked for me at the time my auto was slipping bad.

Doesn't your Texas16g live in Pennsylvania or something like that now?

Do you really think that's what the HTA68 is packing? The billet GT3071R compressor. I thought its compressor flow was more in the low 50lb/min range?

I was trying to find a 3071r compressor wheel for the longest time to pair it up with a tdo6h for what I thought was the ultimate sleeper turbo.
But I found those wheels are nearly impossible to find by themselves and ridiculously expensive if you do.
I know i've sent you a few pms on this topic,.

I would think very highly of the HTA68, if it had a larger turbine

The girl's here, the car's still in TX.

The GT compressor is probably limited a little by the TD05H compressor cover, and Christi's turbo also has a TD05H turbine as she needed the turbo to get her car running before I could track down a TD06/06H and get the turbine housing milled.

I bought the turbo used and in need of a rebuild the way it was....someone had already modded it; although the seller had it listed as a 16G I knew it was something more. It wasn't until the turbo was rebuilt that the compressor was ultimately identified.

I'm sure how it came about was someone had a blown 3071 with a perfectly good compressor wheel. The wheel was flat-backed, and the TD05H center housing used a 14B-style rebuild kit.

 

[toofast82]

Does anyone have compressor specs on this thing, inducer/exducer?
I would understand if the OP wouldn't want to risk chipping a fin by taking the cover off on his new turbo.

 

[pneumo]

Supposedly it's called the HTA68 because the compressor exducer is 68mm, same as a big 16G, EVO3 16G, 18g, and 20G.

 

[e85_4g63]

Has ANYONE installed and reviewed this turbo? I've seen a couple threads about it, but no real performance info. As normal, FP's website is mum as far as any spec's go. Nothing bad against them, they make some good stuff, they could just be a little more descriptive.

I installed mine over the Christmas break and didn't have much time to do some pulls because police were all over my usual routes. I was running a BW S256 before and obviously, the HTA68 spools considerably quicker; very similar to a 14b and is incredibly loud, especially compared to the Borg Warner.

I'll definitely try to get some quality pulls on New Year's Day and report back, also maybe even add some meth to the equation, since I'm severely limited with 91 octane.

So it's louder? What kind of noise is it? Is it a turbo whine sound?

What happened to the S256?

 

[907dsm]

Subscribed.. I would like to hear a video of how loud this turbo is.

 

[HighPSI TSi Guy]

FP has already stated they tested this with a larger turbine and it did not yeild any gains. In fact I believe they said it ran BETTER with the smaller turbine.

Bigger is not always better.

Check out Curt Brown's little review at the bottom.
Forced Performance Turbochargers: FP 68HTA Turbocharger for DSM

 

[TSIMonsteR]

I like this turbo a lot! I think when my 16g bits the dust (which it might soon, some nice in-out shaft play.. a lot of it), I'll pick up one of these.

Its between this and an HX35, so show us some numbers mang!

 

[Avionixx]

What happened to the S256?

It's for sale.

I do a lot of street driving and the S256 just wasn't doing it for me; I can't spool it unless I smash the pedal and getting it to pass visual inspection for the smog check was a major pain in the ass! The techs around here are willing to ignore most anything except for that big honking compressor housing.

So it's louder? What kind of noise is it? Is it a turbo whine sound?

I've only owned a 14b and S256, so where the 14b was more of a higher pitch whistle, the HTA68 is more of an obnoxious whoosh; kinda like the worst boost leak you've ever heard. When it begins to spool, it's pretty darn obvious.

The S256 is the quietest turbo I've ever owned, I dunno if it's because of the anti-surge housing or what, but even at 26PSI you have to try really hard to pick it out over the engine and exhaust noise.

Interesting info just uploaded to Curt's website:

"As for the red 93 Talon it's been sporting Forced Performances new FP68HTA turbo, all I can say is wow what a nice street car with that turbo, 25 psi by 3200 on a winter tune."
