I recently ordered this and it shipped from FP yesterday but since then changed my mind and ordered a red, it's and internally gated 56mm stock appearing HTA68. It arrives here Monday, got it with the oil line and was 949 plus shipping. $800 OBO shipped, so I do t have it sitting on a shelf in...

Since the journals are up I figured I would transfer my build thread here to make it easier to follow. So we will start from the beginning.This car came to be after my previous 92 suffered from the hood not being pinned and damaging the roof and windshield. The car was primarily setup to...
Well had plans this afternoon and could not go racing so I decided to verify the tune in the car before running it next weekend.Last time it went down the track it made 875awhp and went 132mph in the 1/8 mile. Today in its current state pulling it on the dyno it made 96X at 44psi. I had...
Went back to the dyno tonight and found a few interesting things, the 1.01 - 1.28 housing swap cost me 150rpmish spool but at the same boost level picked up 50whp. Onto the good stuff, car made 1033hp/658tq STD it made 1021hp 651tq uncorrected and 1007hp 641tq SAE, so no matter what way you...
Finally got the car on the dyno today, found the limits of e85 on my setup. Car made 832awhp 567tq at 38-39psi and 13* of timing peak. Air fuel in the mid to high 11s, we will go back and try again on e98 and if needed VP import. Should have more room to grow with more octane. I do think I...
Well after racing with Reichen at the mile for the past three years I decided it was time to take a shot at it myself. I started by picking up a clean 1G shell from Bean at Turbotrix (thanks again man!) and have had little time until lately. Started making some real progress last weekend so I...

Well today was interesting to say the least. Car seems to want to fight me every chance it gets. So on with what happened...First pass of the day I thought I had the nitrous on to spool the car so I didn't really make a huge amount of boost on the line 2 step only at 7k, well the ground to...

First pass car run fine but Brian let off before the traps, [email protected], only half clean pass of the day with no breaking up. This was the first car to run and for some reason the printers where not on so, no slip. That...
Well I decided to take the car back to the track yesterday and had originally planned to run on some Quicktime Pros. Drive 50 miles to get there and see that the track seems to be sticking pretty well, so I figure what the hell. Pull onto the track with the Falkens on the car, car feels like...
I tried searching but all the results I found I couldn't find an answer. The 7 bolt motor I have no exp with, so does anyone know if the pistons and rods will swap over or not? I know the 7 bold rods are smalled but I haven't had them in my hand so I have no clue if there are interchangable...

This weekend finally got the wheels and tires on and car done. It was running extremly good at 32 psi. It started raining and I headed back home, on the way a dog runs out in front of the car i swerve around him, car goes sideways, plenty of room to correct but car turns out and comes head on...
Well get the car back going good and last night decide to tune it in at 30LBS. Car was pulling hard then I started getting what felt like bad blow out. I noticed the headlamps started dimming at this point. SO we turn it around to head back to the house and in the process stall it on the side...
After finally starting up the car for the first time Saturday and taking it out it was popping and missing under boost. Of course it was a boost leak, but I was suprised at where I found it. It is leaking in the car at the brake pedal. I assume the check valve for the brake booster is bad. I...
I heard FP mention this turbo on a post here a while back; and at the time I called the shop. The guys on the pone said it was being worked on and was not being sold. DOes anyone know if it is available yet. Iw ould be very interested in getting rid of the 3065 for this turbo depending on the...
