Just wanted to post some updates for anyone who was curious what the FP 68HTA turbos can do.
First off, my setup -
Forged bottom end with Wiseco 92.5mm piston and BC Rods
DR Stage 3 heads with Kiggly Beehive springs
BC 264/272 Cams
FMIC
AEM EMS V2
AUS 1400CC Injectors, dual AEM 320LPH Pumps
UPP Manifolds with Tial 38MM Ext Gates and open dumps
After doing a refresh of the engine and spending several weeks tweaking and fitting the manifolds, re building the dump tubes to fit right, re working the IC piping, finally got it on the road just about 2 months ago.
First trip to the dyno I was on PTE 780CC injectors
That day we hit 545 AWHP on 91 octane pump gas at 19 psi
and 616 awhp on 101 octane race fuel at 23psi Ran out of time so we didn't push it any further that day.
About a week ago I fixed some electrical gremlins and as a result my tune had changed a bit. So instead of keeping on the same ol 780cc upgraded to some 1400CC EV6 style injectors. Got her dialed in for driving on the street and then hit the dyno today.
Results were
555 Awhp on 91 octane 19psi (pretty much the same)
712 Awhp on E85 and 28psi at conservative timing (15 degrees advanced at this boost)
All pulls were done at PSI in Tucson AZ on a Mustang Dyno, which apparently is one of the heartbreakers in the area. Since someone is going to say it, I plan on hopping on a local shops Dynojet here soon to compare numbers for a benchmark, not going to speculate but it should be more from what I have been told.
So far I am very impressed with these turbos, full boost hits around 5k, coming on strong early 4K, not bad for a pair of turbos that sold for $600 Ea during the holiday special.
Compared to my previous setup, same 780cc injectors, IPS manifolds and E16G's I was tapping out at about 600awhp on race fuel and aggressive timing (19 degrees) at 26PSI, that's more than a 100hp increase at just 2psi more and less timing, that's impressive!
Im pretty close to my goal, I have a few more lbs of boost I can push and a few more degrees of timing, I am also re-working the intake filters and some other plumbing a bit, but until summer is over and the cool weather returns I am going to stick with it as is. I do plan on switching over to the larger 3" inlet 2" outlet housing however which should open up flow a little according to FP.
But that's my review, FP 68HTA well worth it! Having E16G's previously, I do not notice a ton more lag. These are badass turbos for a 3.0 with upgraded heads, or even better with a 3.5. There are a ton of vids up on the FB group, I will post the dyno sheets here.
