Awesome - sounds good, so it has met your expectations without even leaning on it then? Hope the power delivery/response is good too :) I had figured it could be good for 450kw+ @ hubs on the right setup, but Dyno Dynamics are a bit of a mystery to me - never had any direct exposure to them so really I wasn't sure what to expect on one of those, though I had expected 370kw should be pretty doable.

Wow so it's not going to be driven at all until race day? No pressure :mellow: Hope it all goes well!

Back to the FP3794HTA - apparently Forced Performance have a prototype "FPxx94HTA" which uses the same compressor wheel as the FP3794HTA but has different housings and a different turbine wheel, the initial indications are that it is expected to spool quicker than the current PT6766 and FP3794HTA - but make more power than either.

The car that the testing this thread is about has had one of these units attached to it and will be getting it tuned soon - and no doubt they won't be holding back. if it If it does turn out to be a better all around performer than the best of the 6766 and 3794 combined then it is a hell of a thing :)

It is Boostin' Performance's AWD Eagle Talon - it runs a high compression 4G63 with lots of headwork etc etc. It has run into the low 8s at >170mph (ie, quicker and faster than plenty AWD cars with GT42s/GT45s etc have run) with both the PT6766 and the FP 3794HTA, so it is a good base for taking such a turbo to it's limit :)

More on this GT3794R HTA prototype, it is now released as the Super94HTA and apparently spools better than and makes more power than both the PT6766 and the GT3794R HTA... it has been tested on a Mitsi AWD drag car which has run the previous turbos and on a slippery track this weekend it ran 8.4 @ 177mph - huge MPH for a car running a T3 based turbo.

So anyone certifiable who was looking for something in the 6766/3794 size range - they are now available to buy:

First 7s car I am aware of running a single T3 turbo, using a .85a/r FP Super 99HTZ:

And an AWD DSM ran a 1000ft test run this weekend and lifted to hit 8.2 at 153mph also using an HTA - they only had an 8.5 certified cage and had suspected they MIGHT go too fast, hence lifting at 1000ft.... but were kicked out due to still going way too quick. Seems like there may be a couple of 7s AWDs and a number of low 8s ones running these turbos in the near future :)

Agreed, just pointing out it is still a large turbo - but it is SERIOUS business... especially when no one has pushed a 99HTZ to it's limits, yet.

A Supra owner in the US has upgraded from their old Borg Warner S467 T4 turbo to a T3 flanged FP Super99HTZ and picked up 15% more power with a huge increase in spool - they run a Powerglide and usually use a transbrake however they are testing for an event this weekend where the class they will be in doesn't allow transbrakes, so they did testing using a foot brake starting at low boost to see how much they could hold back with the foot brake and have already laid down a 8.97 @ 151mph... I suspect when they get to a meet they can use the transbrake and wind up the boost a few eyebrows will be raised - not that running 8s on a T3 based turbo with a Supra isn't pretty unreal as it is!

Not with the new turbo yet, today it was it's first runs - the turbo seems to have maxed out at about 36psi (with 280deg cams) but I don't know what boost it was running for the 8 - definitely not 36psi.

Here's a dyno vid (unfortunately they only uploaded to FB): https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=194348620749465&set=vb.173984302785897&type=2&theater'>https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=194348620749465&set=vb.173984302785897&type=2&theater

Dyno numbers will be a bit messed up due to the loose Powerglide - but a Supra running 8s at >150mph is going to be making north of 900hp to start with, it isn't running NOS and it did it off the foot brake with more boost in it.... so safe to say that it's already a pretty stout result :)

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
