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!

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
