lol neg.

I was being cheeky and emailed to ask if they can provide their DSM Green with a T3 housing ($1,000 turbo), to which they tried to up-sell me an FP30 ($2,000 turbo).

I am really just testing waters and want to know what is out there and at what cost. Obviously wanting to know what can be cross compatible too. I have a couple of things to build soon and am stockpiling thoughts and numbers in prep.

You know you wanna though ;) I recall seeing something that bolts onto a T3 somewhere? ?

LOL you referring to my manifold or that FP have T3 options?

I am pretty happy with the performance and customer service I get from my hypergear, which may lead me to get another one for my next turbo :) We will see.

Definitely a benefit to having local support, at least for you guys haha. They are mostly cheaper, too - but FP ftw if you want the best :) It's handy that FP are pricing to compete with Precision at the moment, too.

Only their custom made stuff though, isn't it? 2K is a fair bit more than the average DCBB Precision, but the FP journal bearing/custom items definitely go for a nice price.

Obviously the price is higher on the FP30 due to the purchase of the Garrett core before they even begin construction.

They have been saying that they will match Precision prices for equivalent Precision DBB turbos on their Facebook page

Any idea what the inducer sizes are for the 73 and 76 HTA wheels?


PT do a 5130 and 5430 which are 56.5mm GT30 cores. If the 51/54mm inducers match it would make a good comparison and price match difference.

HTA GT3071R = 51.2mm

HTA GT3073R = 52.6mm

HTA GT3076R = 54.8mm

:)

And from results we've seen on here, 34GeeTeeTee's HTA GT3076R spools substantially better than and makes more power than a PT5558 which should put some perspective on it

Bit late to the convo, but ive got a jb fp red on my evo 8 and it hits 25psi by 4400rpm or so in 3rd on a stock manifold and not a full 3" tbe. So on a 9 with mivec, cams, aftermarket manifold and decent exhaust it might come in a little earlier. The trade off in spool is pretty minimal compared to a green but if I had my time again id go the green and run a bit more boost to push it to the 330awkw mark on eflex.

Ive got a new exhaust, some gsc s2s and a new manifold to go in soon before a retune with more boost so ill report back and see how it changes the response and overall power if at all.

So what sort of revs does the red really start pulling hard in 2nd and 3rd Mitch? Im still deciding on reds and greens on my car.. Think you have seen my setup yeah? What would you choose in my shoes?

If youre not adverse to boost on a stock bottom end and its mostly street driven id get the green, unless you have plans to stroke to 2.3L later on. They can get into the 300+kw area on e85 with a decent amount of boost.

My red starts to pull pretty hard around 3700 or so in 3rd, but the power is a lot more linear in delivery.

Have you looked into gtpumps turbos at all despite them not being bb?

Oh I don't mind pushing the boost into my motor mate :)

What kinda power did you make and are you on E85? I know the red really needs ethanol to bring it to life. 3700 still doesn't seem laggy. I wonder since that I have mivec a toxic fab manifold M2 cams and a free flowing exhaust how much response id gain including hta and DCBB? Hmmmmm the red may just win me :D

I have looked at GT pumps turbos but to be honest im not really overwhelmed by their products.

Thank god I didn't need to say this first...

Mitch what state are you in? Take Mick for a wrap!

    • Hi everyone, Apologies in advance if this feels like a topic covered multiple times. I'm only asking because some of the old topics I found are missing images now. I'm in the process of getting a manual boost controller (BC). Nothing fancy, just getting a manual one for now as I don't plan to go crazy with it and would not go over 10 PSI. My car is not jacked up on boost steroids to do crazy numbers. I want to understand the OEM setup of the boost solenoid and vacuum lines on the R34 GTT so I know what needs to be changed when I do install the BC. I sketched the current setup to the best I could see and it's on the diagram attached. If the boost controller 'Wastegate Arrow' goes from nipple 1 to 2. My understanding is that the red vacuum line's "F" connector-end should be connected to BC nipple #2? Nipple #1 is meant to have the "pressure source" so what vacuum line would that be? Is it the green vacuum line?  From what I have read here, the OEM boost solenoid is not used at this point. So that can come out and then I can just plug the nipple that usually connects to the blue vacuum line?  So would the final setup look something like this?   Thanks in advance. I don't want to already be knee-deep into pulling out vacuum lines before understanding this. I'm a noob when it comes to boost setups so trying to learn as I go.
    • Initial/early bite is a feature of.....generic pads. Things that work cold. Just put Bendix Ultimate in it. If you don't like them, it's only $3.50 wasted and an hour to change them. I've been using Intima SR, and they seem to be a good performance pad. Street friendly and able to take at least a little beating.
    • This is my first post after registering.. I hope i can find useful resources on this forum. Great forum. 
    • As I implied in my post, I have NO idea what the were. But in case I didn't make it clear, the way they performed was brilliant; whatever the brand was. I think it was the compound that made the difference. And if they were Bendix, then sign me up, I want another set. I did drive down mount Ousley (just outside of the Gong) a few times, and they showed no untowards performance.   Its not the low dust that I am looking for NOW. At the time I needed low dust, but now I have no issues with dust but want the initial/early bite of the pads that were used. Yeah, the early cold squeal may of been due to a missing shim or such.  And to repeat, its not the low dust I am seeking, its the initial bite of the pads and increase in bite as  the warmed up during each breaking. As soon as I let off, I don't remember the breaks being extra sticky if I used them again soon after. But I also did not test that theory.   Thanks for the recommendation, But I would prefer to choose something specifically with the behaviour I described.   I assume that they didn't use the default compound off the shelf, as we discussed the dust issue at length. And the early squeal when cold, I have seen the sound is more of an issue with some pad compounds. Mostly ceramic, which also are said to produce less dust.
    • Well, in 2007 he must have been charging about $1800 an hour. He only looked at the car for 5 minutes. And another 4 to write the report wrong, and another minute to correct it. Mind you, this was for a car that was: Stock engine, fmic (hole in drivers guard), all alloy intake and custom air box, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, lowered, and a set of 17" Advans (255/40/17 rear and 235/45/17 front). It was nothing crazy. The blue slipper wanted the "hole in the guard" engineered. But that was because he got the shits that I wouldn't "relocate the battery from the boot, back to the factory position in the engine bay"... In an R33 GTST...     Also for emissions, E85, and don't go wild on timing. It's amazing how the closer you get ignition timing towards max torque, the last couple of degrees really throw NOx counts right up. And for the huge increase in emissions, it's only a small increase in torque.
