Turbo Kit from Australia


Just read about this post in Australia redlinegti forum today and feel it should be share for all HT81S/HV81S owners out there. HT81S/HV81S is quite old now and almost reaching it 10 years old (For those made in 2003), so normally there won't be much shop will deal with this model especially the new Swift is much more (in number) on the road and still in production worldwide.

Ok, now the list of mod done to the car :-
1. Garrett GT2554R
2. Custom 6boost.com manifold
3. TIAL MVS 38mm wastegate
4. Full 6boost.com exhaust
5. Ford intercooler
6. Siemens 500cc injector
7. Haltech Platinum Spring 500

Since I am not the owner of the photo above, so I just posted one and the remaining photo please visit the link below for more information. The engine output is at whooping 180bhp, I think most probably is on high boost (1.1 to 1.2 maximum)

Now what I can see from the modification done to the engine bay :-
1. Relocation of air-cond condenser
2. A new location for air filter intake (I not sure what the opening at the front bumper as it is not a really good place)
3. Triple decker cooling position (Intercooler, air-cond condenser and finally the radiator)
4. Clean and nice welding on all the piping.
5. I think the exhaust piping diameter is around 55-60mm

Clutch slip in the dyno sheet during 4,600rpm, should be on standard clutch and pressure plate. Need an urgent upgrade there to control the power.

I can't comment more, hope more information will be release by 6boost.com on this project. Would like to know how the engine and gearbox will withstand this kind of power.

  1. Posted and questioned them on redlinegti forum.
    The guy just told me about the engine specs and all he mentioned was stock internals and their kit and bla bla bla and turned the topic into how much their turbo kit costs etc....Pffff....
    The 185hp are WHP!That means that the engine with the turbo kit bolted on with full stock internals maxed out 185whp(!!!!) and that's 100hp compared to stock one!!!!!Don't know about you but the whole thing sounds like a timing bomb and the engine's wear is quite possible not to mention the possibility of braking the engine...
    P.S. Posted video from the car;)Comments welcomed:)

  2. Really hard to believe that the stock internal can take so much punishment from a turbo.
    I really worry about when the engine will stop...
    Thanks for the information

  3. Don't mention it :))
    BTW i don't know your name yet:PPP
    I'm worried about it too.N/A tuning is one thing since the stock internals can take up to ~22kgr of torque so there's no way you can make that much of torque on a N/A tuned engine but turbo...hmmm...i wouldn't advise anyone for that kind of upgrade.If you lower the compression ratio down to 9-9.5:1 then there's a chance to keep it alive:P

  4. Hi guys,
    Are there any news of what the internals can take? What do you think about this project?
    Ignis 4x4 drivetrain + turbo....etc. does the drivetrain from the 4x4 ignis suit on the ht81s chassis? kind regards

  5. I dont really know much about the internal of M15. I think they can't take much with turbo. It need forged parts to take the stress of the turbo.
    I never seen a real 4x4 ignis here so I can't know whether the drivetrain can suit the ht81s.
    Sorry about that
