FP3065 Efficiency question?

[treimche]

I've got the FP3065 and I'm wondering how much boost this thing will put out and still be efficient? I have all the supporting mods I'll need, I'm about to do a dual fuel pump setup so I don't run out of fuel up top. The motor is a built 6 bolt with Ross 8.5:1 pistons and Eagle rods.

Part of the reason I'm wondering is because of the 2 fastest guys running this same turbo that are on the dsmtimes.org page. Dan Cokic is running 9.69@142 and Curt Brown is running 9.41@146. I'm wondering how they are doing it at what boost levels, or are their cars super light weight?

There's Brett Burch who also creeped up to 9.99 @ 141mph a few months ago in his 1G with a small shot of nitrous on the 3065. He put his car up on the classifieds a couple months ago and it should have a complete rundown of it's setup. I hope that helps a little. Oh, his S/N on here is fast89lx if you want to PM him with some Q's. Bust out the search cannon.

That car is also very impressive, I have the 9.99 video downloaded. The fact that the 2 I posted about earlier don't use nitrous really makes me wonder though.

Pressure ratio and boost pressure are not the same, you much account for the low pressure before the comp wheel, the more restrictive the air filter the larger this will be. You also have to account for pressure drop in the IC pipes. Don't argue with real world results because of what a compressor map says though, run what works best for you.
