As I ran out of money I ended up buying a SS2 turbo

As discussed earlier - sucks to hear you were so screwed around by the guy who was meant to be supplying it, it would have loved to have seen how the HTA3582 would have gone on the car.... would have been a weapon!

While it's a bit of a compromise, the SS2 is good value for money and locally supported and still not a shabby performer! Update the HG thread when it's done :)

Apologies if this has been covered in the previous pages (I've read most but not all) - but has anyone ordered a HTA turbo and optioned the proprietary Forced Performance 3.25in in / 2.00in out anti-surge compressor covers.

I only ask if there are any real world downsides to the performance of these covers which may fitment advantages over the physically larger 4in in / 2.5 in out covers.

Cheers in advance.

Would depend on the size of turbo id imagine. The bolt on Evo turbos FP make use an 3.25" anti surge inlet their largest bolt on turbo the black which is an 82mm compressor (GT35 territory) yanks are pulling 750+ "American hp" outta these badboys & 8 second passes (I think) So I guess it would be fine for anything upto GT35... Any bigger than that im not so sure.

Thanks - I was specifically looking at the HTA3582 or HTA3586.

Given that Forced Performance offer their comp housings up to the 3794 (90 lb turbo) I'm guessing they'd cope on either of the above turbos without issue.

Thanks for the tip off , never really liked those T04S housings for 71/73/76mm comp wheels .

Anyway the D in me headed over to FPs site and they show a different compressor housing middle lower pic in the GT3582HTA section . Me thinks Subies use clockwise rotation HTA turbos and thats where you'll find more pics of that comp housing . They call it 84mm FAP for flow advancement port (port shrouded) . 84mm works out to 3.307" or a tad under 3 5/16" . I guess 3 1/4 hose plus loob .

The "FAB" housing is optional from GT3076HTA up to GT3786HTA .

Anyway I can stop bitching and think this if I ever buy a 73/76 HTA .

Don't ask lol

Mick has waiting a while...

Yeah its strange as mine arrived in less that a week from order, they built it within 48hrs and shipped the following day...

3 months - strewth!!

In an odd turn; recent Lithvertising resulted unprecedented sales at the FP warehouse.

Lith, if you have time, can you please tell everyone I need a $1 donation to fund my build? Nek minit Koenensegsensegsensseg.

    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
