FP Raising Prices / 16G Turbo Price Increase

[Alex42590]

Damn, i remember i bought mine last christmas for 700 shipped for my evo 16g, race manifold, fuel pump, and gaskets it was a sale they were having at the time and it was a great deal

 

[92AWDHX40]

I remember that sale.

I remember that sale.

That was a great buy.

I'm glad I have a FP 68HTA now, just in case the 16g can't flow enough for my compound setup.

Hey fyi guys, Dsmparts.com still has the same lower prices on their turbos.

Holy crap. My bad. I guess I was mainly looking at the 68hta.

I saw around a 30% increase in a majority of my Mitsubishi transmission parts a couple months ago and had to increase prices to cover the costs. I had several parts that increased well over 100% in price as well. Regarding the Evo 3 16G, I am looking into the Japan inventory currently with pricing and availability timeline. Japan Mits warehouse was also closed for December - January mid-month for inventory updates and repairs.

The cost of OEM Mitsubishi stuff WILL INCREASE, it is inevitable. The downside is that they are also discontinuing manufacturing/production/stocking of numerous parts as the vehicles become obsolete.

Justin, can you confirm your part number? I have the Evo III 16G turbo as MR239346 with a PNC code of 12510A for a 1994-1995 CE9A. I have an Evo 1/2 (small or big I can't remember) 16G as MD191317, and a DSM 14B as MD168040.

What specific JDM applications came with the small 16G and big 16G?

I remember reading the other day someone saying that turbo's will be going up in price. But i never thought this much. Wow!

Forced Performance Turbochargers: Mitsubishi EVO III 16g Turbo

Kind of sucks since i was thinking of trying out the evo3.

How many of you have to change your build plans now?

 

[92AWDHX40]

Lots of items are increasing, many can get evos rebuilt still, and on ebay.

Thread already up; tells you why as well.

I think it's funny to see some people affraid to run a rebuilt turbo. It's as if there's some performance difference between a new one and a properly rebuilt/restored one.

If you really care about what you spend on parts, then there's really no need to be buying a brand new 16G anyway (unless it's dirt cheap).

Omg I hope that is a error in list pricing on FP's end. $1450 for an of the shelf evo3 in beyond insane. The 68hta isn't even that high.

I saw that, but the 68HTA is still $925, think thats because they have a few on the self? I know FP raised the price higher than that so thats odd they are still selling them for what they are! And why is the e316g $130 cheaper than the big and small 16g?

 

[92AWDHX40]

Wow my dsm didnt cost that much for the evo that is crazy price, i had to call to make sure, thsoe are harder to come by i was told.

 

[JusMX141]

Looks like the donor parts for the 68HTA will likely be outsourced at some point in the near future as they were for the 18G-6SL2.

The 68HTA were all MHI-based when 16G's probably cost FP $400 a pop....they'd install their billet wheel, machine the cover, rebalance the turbo on a VSR, and sell it for $900. Now that the Evo III's are $1450 alone, they'll never sell a single 68HTA if they add the same $500 to the price tag of a 16G that they have in years past.

Its sad to see things like this happen! :/
Thanks for the response.

Jeez, I paid about $1100 this past FP Black Friday special for a Green, manifold and a fuel pump..shipped.

 

[twicks69]

I got my pricing back from Mitsubishi of Japan for the E3 16G, it is wholesale at approx. $1250. Dealer cost is $1160.

I would suggest looking at different turbos for our application outside of the Mitsubishi flange. Thankfully, Holset, Garrett, PTE, Borg Warner, etc are still available. I am forseeing T3 and T4 manifold production becoming a very profitable market to be in.

Why did you post a link of this thread in this thread?

Because it used to be in another thread and got merged to where I linked

exactly, considering almost any t3/t4 combo you buy as well as most other hybrids are just rebuilds from parts of other turbos that came in as "cores" i'd say unless you're buying new technology it's a 90% certaintly when buying any of the "old stand bys" that you're getting a rebuilt turbo anyway

Makes sense. Carry on.

 

[donniekak]

Thought this was interesting.
3000GT / Stealth / GTO - MHI has a dozen Evo III 16G's left in stock... Shortages here we come

 

[turboglenn]

Just bought me a small 16g core today, gonna look for some wheels to go in it. Either EVo III wheel or 20g probably.. Hell at that rate i might buy the other one, buiild another EIII16g from it and make a thusand bucks

i'm lucky to have the knowledge and machinery to machine the needed areas for the wheels too, hell i might start buying up every core 16g i can get my hands on at this rate

 

[silicosys4]

A few last places that you might have luck getting them for the old prices, for anyone looking.
