You don't buy a manifold for how it looks....you buy it for how it performs. With that mentality, I'd get use to wasting a whole lot of money for little to no results. Especially on a dsm flanged turbo....I can guarantee that a well ported evo3 or better yet, fp manifold is going to outperform...
While, yes....I do agree that you probably should've went with link if you can't even figure out how to hook up your aem, I will at LEAST try to give some constructive input instead of the first completely useless response to the question.....To answer this, you have to provide a little more...
Agreed. I don't see Dave's record going anywhere for a while either. Aside from the obvious weight advantage, exceptional tuning and just overall combination of parts, I think one of the things making a big impact on how well Daves car runs is that cylinder head. So much to the fact that I will...
A mechanical pump for anything less than straight alcohol or methanol and under 900awhp is just stupid. Do you have any idea how much over-run you'd be putting on your fpr and return??
That is the $600 104mm valve that USE TO be made by JGS for RPS. Not sure if they still are as the sight now list Jodar as the manufacturer. I can tell you that JGS supply bov's and wg's to some of the fastest turbo and blower guys running 2000+ whp today. RPS doesn't sell junk. I wouldn't...
Amen to that!! I admire your confidence but REALLY bro..... I always see sooo much bench racing...."well, when I dyno'd this, I had a boost leak so I probably COULD have made xxx horsepower....with that much power I COULD have ran [email protected] on some slicks I COULD even run xx@xxx..."...
So I'm confused..... Why is Jake Montgomery, a well known fabricator who makes a top mount t4 manifold and sells them, not be building his own manifold?
Gotcha. And just to clarify, both yours and his are HX52's in those modified housings? I understand using the bullseye .70 t3 using obviously makes sense, financially, for someone that's already runnin running a hx40 in one but for someone just starting off with the hx52 and purchasing a...
I still don't understand why your focusing on me? Im not the one asking for help nor did I start this thread. I don't need a shortcut getting balljoints loose because I have no problems getting them loose by simply using an impact splitter fork, and hammer. Just as you and others said.....the...
Heh??? I think you might want to go back and read.... I never said I had any problems with balljoints..... That's the op. I was saying that its NOT that difficult to get them out.
Well, I don't know what to tell ya bro. All I know is I worked for 2 tire shops, a brake shop, 3 dealerships and 2 performance/chassis fab shops over the last 16 years, not to mention all the maintenance with owning 3 dsm's along the way, and I can say I've done hundreds of balljoints using...
So you're hitting it with an impact right? I'm guessing you've loosened it to the point that the balljoint is out of the hole enough that the "splined" part at the base of the stud isnt pressed in, keeping it from spinning with the nut? If so, you should be able to either wack it with a hammer...
I'm assuming by some of your posts so far that you already have a t3 manifold, so with that said, I would suggest either a FP3586 or PTE6466. If you had the opportunity to go t4 twinscroll, however, (which is what I would do for your goals), then this is my choice for a daily driver to full time...
This seems like a no-brainer to me. The awd talon is not even in the same CLASS as a N/A fwd dsm. Go for the blue car all the way! One question though.......why would you even consider the 99 N/A car when your profile shows that you already own a 99 N/A???? If its because you're bored with your...
I agree with both of the responses above and ALSO feel that there MAY have been a leak that went undetected. At the same time, I have to play devils advocate here. Devin Shultz went 8's @ over 160mph with an adapter JUST LIKE the one pictured FP mani and a 35r with a t3 .82 housing......once he...
I keep seeing "my buddy made x with x........I read where someone did x with x......a guy on here did x"......you need to lose that mentality when trying to optimize YOUR setup for YOUR goals. Sure....its great to see what a turbo is capable of on someone's combination but that doesn't mean its...
No doubt that it works, as you've had awesome experience with with it. I just know FP had countless hours of r&d in designing it so I think it could maybe help even more with spool and transient response.... I could be totally wrong though. For the price, it might be worth trying it out. If...
Are you going to still run it with the Black on there? I know the dnp is good in terms of quality, but I think for a stock dsm flange footprint, there might be a slight performance gain to be had with a properly port-matched FP manifold?
I didn't have a plan but I have lots of parts laying around including a bare 35r bearing housing so I was curious about retro-fitting. How does FP make ball bearing greens, reds, and blacks?
Thanks Justin! That answered my question anyways, as I was just curious about fitting this to a jb HTA88 I have laying around that needs a rebuild. Oh well.
I found these while poking around on Pure's website. I was always under the impression that GT ball bearing turbos could not be rebuilt and that's why they've always had the chra exchange program? Is that no longer the case?? If so, could this kit be used to convert a Garrett journal bearing...
I'm using an FP housing on my holset but its a t31 and the turbo is a h1c/hx40 pro hybrid so its using an hx35 size turbine and therefore, not really helpful to your question.
Actually, this is very much incorrect. I USE to think the same thing.....that a different turbine would affect the a/r but Justin on here and Paul Volk explained to me with a much easier to read illustration of how a/r is measured and showed me that regardless of the size of the wheel, the...
Out of curiosity, have you hauled 10's yet and at what mph, if so? Not tryin to be a dick or anything. I just didn't know if you had been to the track with the current setup.
Ever since I test drove my first awd car, I was sold. I haven't owned anything BUT since then, nor will I ever own a fwd car again and even with rwd, there's only a select few that I would consider. The PLAN is for a GTR to be the next car once some used models get down to something of a more...
In my stroker in the evo its just above 550 so I'm not a good example but I know that Oliver stands behind their 1000+HP claim and I know they've been pushed well beyond that. AMS and JAM would be two good sources that have first hand experience with pushing them to the limits. What pistons are...
I don't really have any supporting data other than that I love my olivers and I'll stick with them for every build from here on. May I ask why you're discounting Al rods? If its just for the maintenance/life of them, I wouldn't be too concerned at the level of a build that you're talking. With...
That was for the first tune. He didn't say who did the latest, which it would be quite feasible that it was a different tuner if he picked up 40wtq. Maybe you should do some reading as well...
Listen to these words of wisdom. You need to change this thread title to 350awhp and go from there in the learning process. You are talking like you're STILL a 16yr old highschool kid. Hell, I've seen 16yr olds with more sense than "I'm gonna go from oil changes to a 750awhp build". The plus...
Can't disagree there..... even if their products gradually improve, their customer service or there lack of still continues to struggle. I still have to confess that I would gladly run a 6466 setup at the right price with my stroker because I think it would be a killer setup.
