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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
