[Pat200426]

Just wanting to know if a v2 68hta is a good turbo for street racing, did see other threads talking about it but just wanting a thread specific about it, it will once in a while go on track but more street based I do know it's more for top end but would it still be a decent turbo for street/roll races, still new to all this just need some help

Straight from the site rules.

"We ask that you not post about non-DSM related topics or about your personal life in the DSM Journals section - use the Hangout forum for that stuff. Your DSM Journal entries should not contain any accusations, personal attacks, or insults towards other people or organizations. It should also not be used as a place to ask Tech questions - use the Forums for that. The basic Site Rules still apply here. No complaints about Classifieds transactions, and none of the usual controversial topics like politics, religion, war, drugs, nudity, street racing, etc. Vendors are not to post commercial content (anything about products or services they sell) in the Blog area."

Instead of asking about if it's good for street racing objectively state how you want the car to perform. Spoolup is your thing? You can't build a car to do something without knowing what it's supposed to do. Horsepower isn't enough, neither is airflow.

The 68HTA is a great turbo because it hits hard fast and holds boost up to 8k, but if you race 135+mph cars you won't win. The best setup is a 68hta with a 100 shot, now that is NASTY.

always good to start with your goal, then determine what HP is needed to reach goal relative to your weight. A 68HTA is bolt on and quick spool for ~400-450awhp. If you need more HP, then you need a bigger turbo (or nitrous or both).

as for responsiveness from a roll (in controlled conditions on the track, like a street car takeover event ), you also have a shifter,,, downshift to an rpm range where the turbo will light off quickly,,, use rolling antilag if your ecu can do it and you'll have boost "right now" regardless (almost) of turbo size. if no antilag, then downshift and brake boost if the turbo is bigger (68HTA is not big).
