Ordered a Series 71 from HTT. Anybody else running this turbo. Sounds about the same as a silver 62. Install tips please!!!

 

be prepared to lose some skin on your knuckles, and put the nut on the back before placing the turbo

oh yeah and have lots of beer at the ready

 

Pull out the exhaust maniflod and loosen some of the hanger bolts for your exhaust so you slide back your exhaust a little. Then all you need is time.

 

I was thinking about just pulling the manafold right off and doing it that way. Its only a dozen more bolts. How hard can it be. If I pull off the manifold, do i need new gaskets or is there even any in there. I've never looked that close.

 

I put a ATS manifold on when I did my turbo swap. There are I think 18 exhaust gaskets. If I remember right there is 3 per cylinder. I too have a ProStreet 66 (71 series turbo) and it has been a good turbo.

 

If you pull the manifold you should be able to re-use the stock gaskets. Use some tack and stick them to the head. It will make your life a whole lot easier.

 

what model Series 71 from HTT did you get? have to let me know how you like it because looking at getting a new turbo soon. has anyone heard anymore about that "ss" series they have coming out?

 

I got the super stock 62. The 71 Series comes with a 14 housing. Dave at HTT told me the 71 mm turbine will spool a little better than the standard 65mm. I shouldn't have any lag at all, the diablo stack fuels pretty hard down low.

 

18 is right. Yes you should be able to reuse your gaskets I did. You have one bolt holding on a bracket that is a PITA.

 

I took the right wheel and liner off to make accessibility MUCH easier when i swapped mine.
