If your engine's built and can handle the 3586 and the boost level necessary to make that turbo efficient, by all means upgrade if you can afford it.
The FP3065's compressor wheel is rated at 65lbs/min.
Now whether it'll do that with the 30R turbine wheel and ~.68 A/R FP 30 series turbine housing is beyond me.
What fuel are you using?
If you do anything, get your FP3065 HTA'd for $600 and never look back!
I have FIC 750 inj and walbro 255 intank , also where can i find the whole Holset setup at so i can price it out?You can definitely make well over 500hp with the turbo you have now, but if you choose to upgrade it all depends on which housing you choose you'll need to get the manifold that goes with it, but before you take the big step of spending $1700 look at Holset turbo. They are much cheaper and the spool rate don't lack the HTA GT35.
By the way, what's your fuel system? Which injectors and pump(s), etc...?
+1. You can forget the Holet idea, the times page doesn't lie DSMTimes.org - Home.

I can't wait until Holsets get some real-world results and quiets all the Garrett-humpers. I guess Rau running a BW isn't enough for you guys.+1. You can forget the Holset idea, the times page doesn't lie DSMTimes.org - Home.

what is better about the fp4r's? these are actually the HKS 272'sThe 3065 turbo is a very capable turbo. Easily can crack 500. We made 520 some AWHP on pump 93 and 620 some on e85 only reving to 8000 RPM's. Power looked like it would have peaked a little more, but we had ignition issues. This is on very little timing as well. Crappy intercooler, JMF old school intake, NT TB. I'm sure with newer/better parts we could pickup 20hp or so. Bottom end is also identical to yours.
All of these newer turbos are great, but just get your car setup correctly on what you have and you'll be very happy. Too many owner's spend time switching parts out for the newest and greatest thing and wind up having more problems than anything.
I would suggest ditching the 272's and picking up a set of fp4r's. At this point it'll only cost you a 100-150$ to make the switch after you sell the 272's. This will be a very worthwhile investment.
HKS 272s is fine if you're staying with the FP3065.
Times doesn't say it all, it is probably the least effective to compare turbo to turbo. A lot of factor come into play with 1/4 mile times, like the how good the driver is or the engine mods they've done.
Correct, but this was done in a DSM bolt-on turbine housing. How many bolt-on GT35R's are making almost 700whp?You are right, lets just talk power, these only took me a few seconds to find, the most powerful holset is 684.
Yea, no one really should bother.You are right, lets just talk power, these only took me a few seconds to find, the most powerful holset is 684. Minus the one outliar like you do in statistics show most common number for a HX 40 is around 450, not quite up to par with the garrets or BW for that matter. There is no comparison.

And I could go on and on, but nobody is even going to look at one of these.

Amen! If we only went by the list, then noone would ever use more than a 20g for a 10second build. What a big pile of fail our DSMs would be then, with 99.9% of us falling terribly short. Think out side the dsmtimes. . . er, box. I don't know a 139mph fp3065, save Lucas English (awesome guy!). I do know the lower flowing 8blade hx40 in the bolton housing has done that on less setup. Click. Just as bolton, spools just as fast, but has room for about 100 more WHP easily with the super40 compressor. DSMtimes.org does not reference even 1/4 of the dsm guys using holsets.Times doesn't say it all, it is probably the least effective to compare turbo to turbo.

They go for about a grand on eBay, but let me remind you that if you're looking for faster spooling then you got to go with the FP HTA or Holset. Another turbo that may interest you if you're looking to achieve 800hp+ is the Holset HX52 87 lb/min. You can pick those up for about $500.
