FP HTA GT3076r. Hell any HTA FP turbo. I guarantee your next post says well thats xxx much more money, but you pay for what you get.

 

When you described the turbo's you thought to be better I was going to say show me. That is what my next post was going to be. What does your guarantee come with and what is my next post going to be,lol.

 

stopped by the shop today, it's not going to be finished until next week... got it up on the rack and he got some of the stuff done, but he wanted to run the return into the block where it should be, so we're going to do that instead of into the oil pan.

boring pic



here's a cool pic.. this is his wife's car he's rebuilding, outlaw 8.5 class and this thing is prepped properly



here's what it sounds like lol

FYI the zzp downpipe does not bolt up properly to the hahn catback. shop is making some "adjustments"

not sure exactly what it was, he's fixing it now though... should know tomorrow

 

it idles and revs smooth as could hope for and the hahn exhaust went from sounding like complete **** to earlobe sex

put out about 320whp/330wtq @ 22psi

didn't run it out but to 6500rpm, no reason to rev it out any higher. the a/f dropped off about 5500, and that was evident on the torque curve, so i'm gonna send the logs off and get it leaned out a wee bit and see what she can do

 

very decent for mustang numbers, and the circumstances.. i would assume you will pull quite a bit more out of it with the maf spot on.


that turbo @ that boost level is good for a easy 350-360 on a conservative tune on a mustang dyno which is getting close to 400 on a dynojet.


what was your afr, idc and your timing up top?

 

it bottomed out at 11.6 afr, idc was 80%... think it popped 81% for a split second and timing was 16 across the board, then hit 17 for about the last 200ish rpm and iat2's were right at 100 degrees at the end in 75 degree ambient temps

i did like the hp curve on it, it was pretty flat all the way out from spool. hopefully if i can ever get in touch with area he can do some tweaks on it... haven't seen him around for a while now

 

one last q

what was the lbs/min? about 32-34? that 80% idc matches with your numbers and your afr perfectly.

when you see 38-40lbs/min and 100-110 idc on the 60's your right @ 400whp


none the less thats a perfect street car i think, anymore and traction is a major issue! right now that motor is probably fat and happy too. the tvs would of never pulled out those numbers withough hrs and hrs of tuning and RG

 

yeah i'm talking with byt right now, he said he can see some compressor surge on the logs, i really don't have any idea where to start on it cause i can't hear it inside the car on the street and the boost gauge doesn't flutter. but you can hear it on the dyno run and he said he seen it on the logs without even watching the vid.

dunno if i need to just go ahead and yank the LIM and install a saab, or if by some strange way the turbo wasn't pulling enough air from inside the fender cause there was no fan on it.. just one on the fmic. the BOV was cranked all the way down, so i did loosen it up. bad thing is the turbo has an internal wastegate so not sure if maybe it is causing it either.

 

awesome build man. haven't really read everything but seems like everything is falling right into place.

 

got the lsd trans and act clutch being put in as we speak, should be finished on friday... no one had any trans fluid so i had to buy some near $20/quart royal purple lol

also doing some changes on the system, someone is working on an intake similar to the 2.2/2.4 which will be better than modifying my setup for a log style intake. waiting on that to be finished,

and also up in the air between getting a custom cast turbine housing that has an external wastegate provision or having a segregated turbo elbow with a 2.25" and 1.5" pipe coming off the turbo and into the exhaust. right now the cast elbow chokes down to a point just a bit bigger than 1" and i think that may be causing the boost fluctuation issues... you can only put so much air through a little hole

 

installing act clutch kit and the tolerances are extremely tight. called up their tech support with measurements of all the stuff and they are supposed to be getting back to me.

has anyone else installed one of these kits, and if so did you have problems with the install?

 

i have that same exact SC delete kit from ATP. I love it.

 

What tolerances are you talking about

 

that seems a bit low for a 3071r but not bad, going to be a fun as hell car
and on afr's I usually shoot for 11.4 on pump gas for a little safety. 16-17 degrees of timing on pump gas is nice and conservative too, I've been able to get away with as high as 20 on 22psi on pump gas (bigger turbos) and usually get away with it on 93 octane

 

man i Want to already change my turbo i have a chance to get ur old turbo paul the 60-1 but idk lol

 

bolt holes on the flywheel

yeah we've figured out 2 things. i gotta get this stock cooling system off, and the cast garrett turbo elbow chokes down one point about 1.5", it was designed for the 2.2 and lower boost, not 20psi 300whp+ lol

once the clutch and trans is back on, i'll be getting a divorced elbow with separate pipe for the wastegate and exhaust and then run both of them back into the downpipe

 

there ya go. I don't like the stock intake mani, it was choking me setup down for a while, as for that cast elbow, that's terrible lol. That would help explain it


and rico, you should get it, kinda laggy below 4k rpm, but god up top that thing is a monster

 

just got back in the office and ACT left a message, they've already shipped me a new flywheel. he said the measurements were just a bit off and would work, but they'd like to get the unit back because they don't like any questionable parts floating around.

ACT follows through with great service as always.

 

^ good to hear thats good customer service right there and you know they care about quality.
awesome build just sucks cause im so confused on parts etc. if i ever decided to go turbo.
Someone needs to make a full optional parts list and were to buy for a complete sc to tc setup lol.

 

There already is quite a few, just search

 

Let's see some of this in my tune

 

Oh im sure there is i hadnt done the search yet i guess because im not to that point yet for the whole swap. Guess i will find all that i need when i reach that point. Thanks,

 

search for infe's posts he did an entire build thread with pretty much everything listed.
I deleted mine
