I am more then likely going with a FP HTA 71 for my 2005 MR, my question is for those who have then same setup on an evo 8 do you use the FP install kit that uses oil feed from oil filter, or the stock evo 9 install kit that uses stock oil feed etc. The reason I ask is #1 Price ($350 compared to $150) and #2 I had a friend with 1g that ran a Fp green with oil filter oil feed and it ended up blowing the seals on turbo.

 

Stock evo 9 install kit should be fine. When i upgraded to the 71 hta, the only thing i remember having to get was the evo 9 j-pipe and wastegate actuator. Might have to bend the factory 8 lines a little.

 

Awesome. What injectors are you running??

 

If E85 you will need bigger injectors than if you will only be running pump gas.

 

FIC 1050cc injectors(E85/91oct) with a built 2.4LR motor.

 

Fp is out of 71 hta until 2 week of Jan. What's are thoughts about green? I have read the comparisons it really comes down to daily driving

 

Got the 71hta here with 84mm comp housing. I decided to buy the oil feed line from FP to make sure my turbo stays happy. I used my oem evo 8 turbo coolant lines, but had to bend them a little. Evo 9 J pipe was all that was needed.

Your looking at around 400hp with all the other bolts ons/cams with the 71hta/93/28psi and around 450 on e85

Running 880cc injectors

 

Only difference I have with the last persons set up is I'm running GSC S2 cams and FIC 1100 injectors and I'm making 460whp and 445 tq. Love the turbo!

 

Oh and that's also on E85!
