Time for a turbo upgrade.. 68hta or hx35?

[Joe' GSX]

I now have my eclipse sitting in the garage with more time to be worked on since I picked up a new Ecoboost stang to daily. I'm looking to achieve close to 400AWHP , I already have : Aftermarket ebay manual boost controller, Injen air intake, Godspeed FMIC, GReddy Type -S recirculated bov, Stage 3 EFT Clutch & light weight flywheel. All maintenance is up to date.

I got the stock 7 bolt engine at the moment. Thinking of starting off with a Afpr & a turbo upgrade first along w/ dsm link. Stuck between the HX35 & FP68HTA.

Any recommendations?

Also considering a GST in my area that has a 7 blade HX35 already installed and running well w a 6 bolt built engine. Might be worth buying and swapping.

Any pointer for my power goal are welcome

Either one will get you there if you're running e85. You'll need a good fuel pump. I know a guy in Houston who may be selling a 68 so let me know. Also, remember that the v1 and v2 HTA68 perform differently so look into that.

^^ This is true. I'll have a freshly built 8 blade hx35 in a bep housing up for sale shortly as well.

I've run all. (hx35/ v168hta/v68hta) and the hx35 is my favorite with the v168hta being shortly behind. all of the above will hit power goals with e-85.

What sold me on the holset (inner ricer coming out) is the sound of the turbo spooling is intoxicating.

Im running a bone stock 7 bolt with literally only headstuds my 95 awd auto car with a t3 twin scroll hx35 at 35psi on e85, @MorrisonFab consolidated runner twin scroll t3 manifold and FIC 1220s. I have less than $4k in the whole build including buying the car . Have ran a best of 11.55 @ 120mph in the quarter and 7.43 @ 96mph in the 8th mile all while cutting horrible 1.9 sixty foot times from spinning all 4 off the line. Its making VERY good power and keeps up with 600hp domestics ALL DAY .

There's a guy in the same town as you that needs your help getting his car back together. He blew the engine trying to impress a girl. Claims the "crank bolt fell off". I'll PM you details.

Glad to see MY SON posting up some results from his last outing to the track, which is making dad jealous!!!!
