BR goes 9.6@151 on 35R

[scheides]

HTA GT35R to be specific!

This thing is making freaking ~640whp on buschur's low-reading mustang dyno, and while I bet he doesn't drive it as much as I drive my DD, he calls it his DD.

[HiImBrian]

Sweet! That thing moves

[JET]

Fucking WOW!! I may have to get an HTA next year!

[scheides]

Rumor has it FP is working on an HTA "37R" aka T67....that'd be the ticket for you JET! You'd eclipse 500whp with ease and probably keep a similar powerband..... Yowsers!

[JET]

I'd be all over that! I was going to go 4088R, but we will see what happens.

[Goat Blower]

Not bad.

I'm completey in the dark about these turbos. I'm going to read up about them when I have some time, but anyone know what's so different about them?

[FattyBoomBatty]

Nice vid. I like how he's really proud of how it's mostly stock, but does that trunk stay open by itself? I bet there's some lightening elsewhere that he didn't show.

Nothing against Dave or his impressive numbers, but I never understood why it's such a badge of honor to claim "full weight" or "no weight reduction". I look at reducing weight as just another mod. Less weight = less stress on the engine and the rest of the drivetrain. If you can tolerate driving around in a tin can go for it. Same thing goes for race gas. If your wallet can tolerate $10/gal. race fuel, great! I could really care less what you're burning.

empty box in the back??? Mmmm....

Custom compressor wheel on an otherwise standard 35R built by FP, makes similar top-end power to a std 35R but much more low end torque. Check the FI section here for a thread I started a while ago.

There is, but nothing major. swapped rear ebrake drums for a hydrolic system, a few crossmembers have been modified/removed, etc. Nothing crazy though.

I think his point is that its his street car, he's unwilling to put a cage in it, and he's done nothing but good streetable power mods to run 9's. He also has a mostly gutted drag evo that runs 8's.

I'm pretty sure its empty, he's adamant that there was no nitrous used.

I still think there is NAAWWWSSSSS under there.

[FattyBoomBatty]

lol, nawz. Bah!

[YiNYaNg]

I wonder what's his powerband with that setup?

[scheides]

It's huge. I'll copy paste from evolutionm:

[JET]

There are links to a dyno sheet in the other thread Scheides is talking about. The HTA seems to be a Borgwarner style compressor wheel, from what I get out of it. It sounds like FP designed the wheel and someone makes it for them. It uses extended tips and seems like it may flow a bit more up top too. It doesn't seem to be down on power anywhere compared to the stock wheel.

[TwoTalons]

Dave has come a long way hasn't he???

Anyone else notice the spark plug error? Whats the date on this article?

Yeah, that's old school right there! I remember studying the HKS upgrade path over and over again. It was pretty much all we had back then. HKS and Archer was about it.
