Post 108 you said your self 71mm. I also see you got some posts edited in that thread. Any reason you said that? Just honest mistake. Any reason I was told over the phone 71mm? Just another honest mistake? Any reason fp posted evo dynos comparing the white "68mm" to the 71hta and showing a power increase? Are you saying the 71hta for the evo was always a 68mm? Wouldn't that make those hp gains impossible? Sorry man I'm still a little confused

Are claiming the 3lb min extra flow from the dsm 68 to 71 is due to the down firing housing?

I made a mistake, I had only been with the company 3 months and probably shouldn't have been pulling numbers off the top of my head. If you were told 71MM by someone here I don't know why they would have said that other than just thinking 71HTA and saying 71MM. We're only human after all.

There was a change from the White to the 71HTA which was an inducer increase which allowed for the gains in air flow.

Thanks for the replys Michael we are all human and make mistakes. I personally will not do future biz with you guys but everybody can take what they want from this situation and "typos" on the site. Wish you guys more success and innovations in the game
 
It's cool no hard feelings we don't set out to mislead anyone and the website descriptions have always been clear on what you're buying. It's even more clear now that it's listed in the new format where before the information was in the product description. I knew it would create some confusion and there would be hiccups switching to this new format on the website but going forward it'll be easier for people to get in the info they want without having to call.

Anyway if you have any questions regarding a specific product I'll be happy to answer them.

Adding pictures of my FP 68HTA turbo for the records.
It's built on the EVO3 16G frame.

I got this turbo in march/april of 2011.
I am very pleased with it and it pulls hard from low RPM all the way to redline and does not creep at all. I have HKS 272 cams, and the FP race manifold also.

Here's my 68HTA, purchased this past December as part of FP's $799 sale.

Measurements match the FP site, or as far as I can tell with my crappy calipers:

CW Measurements - 51.2MM Inducer / 68MM Exducer
TW Measurements - 60.8MM Inducer / 54MM Exducer

Have yet to install it, but I'm expecting it'll be a nice bump up from my old FP Big28. :)

I purchased a lightly used 68hta (under 500 miles) and after reading this thread I am very curious as to what the turbine wheel specs are. It is in the mhi compressor housing and has the fp 8cm2 housing which leads me to believe that it is a later build. I haven't cracked it open to pull compressor or turbine specs but according to this thread it should have the 51 ind and 68 exd compressor. I am more curious as to which turbine wheel was used. This entire thread is new information to me and depending on which turbine it has it will change the direction I had planned on going with my setup. I have been out of the scene for the last 2 years so it was my assumption that they all came with td05h turbine wheels.

So I have a question for Justin, or anyone for that matter. If mine does have the "fp" turbine wheel, what would the spool characteristics be like on a 2L. It appears to be very similar to the td06sl2 but I'm sure the blade count and fin design is different. So if it is comparable to the sl2 what rpm could one see 25+ psi.

I currently have a stock 8.5 cr bottom end and an evo 3 intake manifold so more then anything I'm looking at a decent match for cams. I was looking at the kelford 260/264 but if this new wheel is more of a top end bruiser I might buy something more aggressive. I drive the car for the streets and not the 1320 so I like midrange. I just wouldn't want to make a bad cam selection per turbo. Looking forward to this weekend to crack open the turbo.
 
None of us can even begin to guess what spool is going to be like for you. Two identically-built cars can spool worlds apart simply based on tune let alone variations in cam timing, supporting mods, intake manifold, head, etc.
 
I kind of figured. I suppose I am just going to have to hold off on cams until it's installed and go from there. It's frustrating because I had everything planned out the way I wanted it based on what the old 68hta came with. I can only imagine the frustration an autox guy would have. I do believe in forced performance's product though and it does bother me to hear any bashing of a company that has been such a game changer in our community.
 
I'll be installing an EVO3 intake manifold with my 68HTA as well (also stock 2.0L). For now I'm just gonna run the stock cams. Then once I stroke it to 2.3L (next year), I'll take a look at upgrading the cams.
 
Thanks gofer. I just pulled the housing and I do have the td05h turbine wheel. That makes me a little more happy because until people have tested the fp wheel, I would like to stick with something that is known. Plus housings are an easy swap. My intentions were to make low end torque (below 4000k) and a broad mid range and I feel like the td05 tw will get me there. This allows me to not rev the stock motor out past 7500-8 and still have useable power. I am still going to mic out the comp wheel but have to wait until Sunday.

That 9 blade wheel is the same measurements as a td06sl2 wheel.
 
I have water / meth injection. :D

FYI, Tom posted a great video on porting his new FP 68HTA: [ame=http://youtu.be/kTsqrMbUxgo]Tom's Turbo Garage: Street Sleeper Turbo Upgrade - Part 1 - YouTube[/ame]
 
Id really like to see what she does on 93 pump when he gets it up and running. Id like to get one of these, as I wouldn't have to get rid of my powdercoated intake with my -10 an bung welded to it, but I want to see what an average setup on pump will do before I buy another "small frame" turbo expecting a miracle power band from it.
