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 :)

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
    • Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks
    • All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
