No T4 divided from forced performance direct..

We can do a T4, but we only have T4 Open. We used to use a T4 divided, but these housing were never made for the GT35R wheel, so we had to have the housings custom machined to fit, and we never really liked the way the CHRA sat in the housing. The T4 open that we use now are genuine Garrett turbine housings that are cast and build specifically for the GT35R turbine wheel. They are available in .63, .82 and 1.06 A/R.

Good info, thanks for sharing!

Yeah I reckon! The new Super94 (which basically outperforms the 3794/PT6766/pretty much any 67mm turbo in spool and flow apparently) is actually for sale for a REALLY reasonable price considering what it is capable of, here's hoping there are other turbine housings available on request for the bigger motor guys as the .85 seems a little small - though the Boostin Performance DSM trapped at 177mph so it would have to be putting out near >1000hp with the thing, so maybe the flow is suited and conventional wisdom could be overlooked in this instance:

I'd expect it would be totally streetable on a 3litre - imagine of street/drag weapon something like that could be? :wub:

yeh you have me going, ive been trying to talk people into buying 3794's and the 4294's for 2 weeks..lol

Both would be so good for both applications..Id love my old setup but with a FP version of the 4294..would be EPIC!

cheers

darren

Sport 2s better than Super Sports?! WHAT lol

Well why are the PS2's so much more expensive than the PSS's?! I just bought a set of PS2's for my M3 and looked everywhere to get the cheapest price, and the PSS's were cheaper than the PS2's everywhere. Cost me a fricken fortune :(

maybe a bit off topic but ive been looking at finding some sort of traction control system that would help putting down the power without losing too much traction

Yeah staged boost by gear etc...

They produce some awesome results and it's great to see that you're happy, Matt! The drivers seat is the best dyno after all.

I managed 375kw ATW on my 3037S with a 1.12 A/R housing and that was ringing its neck on 25psi.

What deters FP from more sales other than the price is the limit as to turbine housing options, FP can be hard to deal with and they barely offer a trade discount no matter how big of a company you are.

It's a shame because they have some great products with great quality control but being a small company also comes at the cost build time as well, maybe they're just happy with their nieche after all?

I have heard some historical stories about that kind of thing, I wonder if they are trying to improve that image? They got Mat his turbo within a week and had a bit of reasonable input (I think?) and recently posted on their Facebook page that people could send requests regarding sponsorship based on a few requirements. They have also been seeking input and providing Q&A on the US EvolutionM forum. Hard to say though.

The housing options are just what is posted on the site, unlike Precision the universal FPs are mostly Garrett based which means you can essentially use off the shelf Garrett (or 3rd party) GT28/GT30/GT35/whatever turbine housings with them - they will probably also do hybrids or a preferred turbine housing per request. I would hope so, but I guess I can't speak for them - though seeing as they have made people HTA4094s, HTA3073s, HTA2868s etc I am guessing it is true.

Yeah definitely happy PJ, it's a totally different car :)

Wow, huge result with the old 3037, I know Adam punished mine but it had no more to give, was still impressive BUT the HTA is another thing again :yes:

Amber @ FP was really helpful but when I asked technical questions or for info, no replies were given... Anyway, I'm happy with my result...

You would think pushing into a new market by sourcing distributors would be a smart move... Maybe the results are known and the product sells itself? Who knows.....

Have seen that, it's one of the most flawed comparisons ever - it kind of sucks that people can put that kind of data out there to confuse research people may be doing.

Major flaws with the testing or data:

- No boost plot

- No tuning done to suit each turbo

- Putting a large a/r divided housing turbo on a open manifold in a comparison against two small a/r open housing turbos. Wtf? I don't know why you would go to the effort of attaching that turbo to that manifold and expect a decent result, let alone try and pass it off as a fair comparison with three turbos actually suited to that layout.

    • Unfortunately haven’t taken pics yet after it was finished. All the edges are hemmed nicely, just had to cut holes for the gear shifter and seat bolts and seat belt bolts in the rear. The molds seem like they’re done with steam and a layer of glue on the underside to hold a bit of shape but still soft enough that it’s a good fit when it’s all pressed down.
    • When's the rear mounted turbo kit coming? Needs dose and V8 chop idle lol.
    • I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. I'm told as a chain breaks in it ends up regarding back about 0.5 a degree as the chain breaks in, making it bang on. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.
    • I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
