Also, titanium is MORE DENSE than aluminum; i.e. heavier.

To get an advantage using it, you'd have design a new compressor with thinner features to take advantage of the higher strength.

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get his
 

wow i had no idea they already made a billet 50-trim... from the sounds of it, the turbo definately does produce some power and flow, but im really interested to see how well it does with a decently modded dsm on the dyno!

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get his
 

really? ever look into diesel world before talking? i think we need to take this conversation outside of the public forums...

pm'ed to stop from polluting thread...

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get his
 

Thank you!! If only this would happen in the politics threads.

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get his
 

I just got off the phone with FP and I talked them into sending one to Curt Brown, I pm'd him and he called them now its on its way so shortly we will have results.

They held 32psi to 7k, i asked 7500 he said yeah but internal will be tough but doable then u might not be able to run low boost (i said F that). He said then yeah.
Upgrades are a possibility down the road but for now, nogo.
Other FP turbos will get HTA treatment. I said well i could do a 20G and wait.
But I loved the low end of the 16G having the TQ of V8 cars when I wanted but the ability to walk around them was awesome.

To be honest if this turbo acts as they said it has I might of found my first NEW turbo.

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get his
 

awesome!!! i cant wait to see new numbers!!! thats exactly what this thread needed...its first victim!!!

ya gotta let us know asap when you get it in!

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get his
 

I love that you're pointing kevin towards this when in fact you are one of the 16g luvahs out there! IMHO fuk it, get it, bring it home for xmas and lay down some bishin numbers at DB with it.

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get his
 

Lol well he is in the market for a new turbo a 16g.
I can say that I do love it, but I got an external gate comi for this and I am really happy with this trbo.
Maybe when I get home or once cb puts up some results.
I do wanna dyno at DB though I miss my 16g car a little bit

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get his
 

I hope they offer an upgrade. I miss top end.

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get his
 

Hmm, I'm already running an external gate off the o2 housing so that wouldn't be an issue, and 32 PSI to red line in a TD05 housing sounds pretty dang nice. I already picked up an evoIII 16g, and will probably be installing it within the next few weeks, but I might have to pinch some pennies over the winter depending on what kind of numbers this thing makes.

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get his
 

if i get a good job next year, this will be on the list right before/after the 272s. this turbo is quite amusing.

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get his
 

Praise the lord!!! I have been waiting for months and months and months for FP to come out with this turbo. To bad I don't own my Talon anymore or this bad bish would be on it within a week.

I've always been about the 'sleeper 16g' or evoIII16g because of the quick spool, low end power, and high torque. Now there is one that can hold a good amount of boost until redline on a street car.

This would be a beast of a turbo on a 2.3 stroker E85 street car. You would hardly even be able to notice any lag with the stroked engine and the extra exhaust gasses from the E85.

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get his
 

I'd rather buy a new turbo for a little extra money than one that been blown up and "sold as new" basically polishing a turd. It may be more $ at first but in the long run its probably cheaper.

sorry to get off topic

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get this: FP 68HTA DSM
 

Update! You guys should know that bananas has this same compressor wheel on his owwdee, but in a gt28rs shell.

Should make for some 280-300whp pump gas DSM's with the right handful of mods!

Now I want to see this on kevin's car more than ever!

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get this: FP 68HTA DSM
 

Haha I think I'll stick with the evo3 16g I have now, and pinch my pennies over the winter and maybe pick one up in the spring. It definitely looks like a nice turbo.

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get this: FP 68HTA DSM
 

mmmm...even better! before/after comparo :D

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get this: FP 68HTA DSM
 

Twack showed me this thread and Im pretty sure this is what I'll be upgrading to from my 14b.


Tax return season will surely be a treat. :P

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get this: FP 68HTA DSM
 

When they came out with this one did they stop making the FP18g 6sl2?? can't find that anywhere on the market. try extremepsi.com, even try FP store and can't find it. may be this new turbo scared the 18g 6sl2 away LOL...

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get this: FP 68HTA DSM
 

I'd like to see the numbers on E85. If it would actually hold boost all the way to redline, I will buy one tomorrow. My Shane tuned E3 16g is hitting 29psi at 3700 and 21psi by 6700. I'd love to hold boost since the power drops off at 6k pretty hard.

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get this: FP 68HTA DSM
 

damn this turbo is SICK

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get this: FP 68HTA DSM
 

holy hell that is insane.

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get this: FP 68HTA DSM
 

Wow, gotta love the stock frame turbos!

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get this: FP 68HTA DSM
 

Is that car an auto?

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get this: FP 68HTA DSM
 

Sure sounds like it.

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get this: FP 68HTA DSM

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get this: FP 68HTA DSM
 

Yeah, they have a link to their videos on FP's site. He's turning some great times with a stock looking turbo, still makes me think about that auto thing.

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get this: FP 68HTA DSM
 

^same here, but I have never driven an AT dsm

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get this: FP 68HTA DSM
 

Funny enough, my first was an auto back in 1997 knowing that autos and turbos were a good mix, but they didn't have any auto parts or info back then, and I got a sweet deal on some old blue POS DSM. I was beating comparable 5-speed DSM's at rock falls back then though.

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get this: FP 68HTA DSM
 

The integra in that video fails....Oh wait, let me correct myself, ALL those cars failed against that DSM. lol

That's a pretty sweet turbo. The fact that it looks stock-ish is huge plus. Personally I would buy something else for the money. Like an scm61.

Re: Damn FP, Kevin u should get this: FP 68HTA DSM
 

SCM61, we are not in 2003.

Its hard not to "fail" against a low 10 sec car.

For $800 I think the only options are used and I've seen everything from 61s to gt42 for that price.
