VIII? Stock cams? Stock LICP? If so, that could be fairly accurate, I think. Maybe your VD settings are off?
To compare, I had a IX, stock turbo, stock air intake, open filter, 3" exhaust, stock O2 housing, mild cam, ETS FMIC, test pipe, stock IC piping with Injen LICP and did 330whp on 91.

 

Stock cams -Stock route ETS hard pipes. not stock pipes.

I know. Once i get the logs I will post them to get opinions on... i was expecting about 360-ish on 93 with my set up...

I have a bad pic i took with my phone of the VD screen. i can post that but only shows the curve of the final tune and the tune on WG spring pressure when i had boost controller issues before

 

Here is a link to my Evo 8 FP 71HTA set up.

necro bumping this.

i ordered a 71hta w the 18psi wastegate actuator but no oil lines. planning to keep it around 25psi. what's the chra swap process like? if i ask the tuner to keep the torque low, that should be achievable right? FP did say due to the lighter components, even though it flows more it should spool faster than stock. my stock turbo feels tired, and rather than getting another stock turbo thought i would go this route. especially hoping for a little more up top. current rev limit is around 8200rpms, but only go when i really need to stretch a gear on track.

power:
stock block
s2 cams
fic1200
spoolinup cop
blitz fmic, lower and upper icp
stm underdriven alternator pulley
deatschworks dw300
exhaust, o2 hosuing, downpipe, etc.
ported stock intake/exhaust manifolds
evo x map sensor
3port ebcs
switching from stock intake with cone filter to ETS air intake with 84mm adapter

supporting:
head studs
kiggly hla, tomei crank slicer, infinitiveevo oil pan
setrab 25row oil cooler
sheepey csf radiator
egr blockoff plate

don't care about numbers, just hoping the car feels good and pulls strong. on a flex fuel tune, will keep it that way.

 

I think its a good power and response upgrade all around. I bought 3 of these back when it was $600 my first had the small intake port, no filter and it didnt last long. my 2nd/3rd was the 84 surge port, FP intake hose and with the oil filter - its been running well, i think the filter somehow regulates pressure. install is DIY, might be a good time to renew exhaust mani bolts. The 3rd was backup and I'm on it now, 2nd was still working when I upgraded the manifold. Just let the tuner give you everything he can from that setup. torque wont be concerning

 

my setup made 400hp(mustang dyno) * 1.13 = 452hp(dynojet). then I got SD/ERgear (2degree cam retard)/ATIdamper and got 469hp(dynojet) BUT I feel it moved the power curve higher. also got 491hp with Haltech(I'm back to stock ecu now). I dont like this new setup since I autox more so I'm hoping to correct my cam timing and get back the lower end response I had before. I'd rather have 452hp with low end torque because it compensates for my lack of driving skill

e85 btw

 

interesting. I opted not for the oil lines/and the filter thing, but i did recently redo the bolts because i had to redo the exhaust manifold, which started leaking.

i'll be happy with 400 honestly. that's a 11% jump for me. i don't think the intake will do anything, just want it to punch a bit harder, especially as i exit corners.

current restritions to power, probably my exhaust which has like 3 resonators and 2 mufflers, lmao. I want peace and quiet.

 

you should consider getting the oil filter/lines. do you have an intake hose? it might make a difference later if/when you get rid of the maf. .

 

they said for my setup, the stock oil lines are fine. stock intake with maf adapter for the cone, and switcihgn to ets's hardpipe+adapters, retaining maf.

 

These 71hta turbos are reliable right? Should run like stock but with more power? planning to stay around 25psi, same as i currently am.

 

yes but more boost might mean higher crankcase pressure, which might damage seals. so on and so forth

 

same boost, but yea probably holds higher at higher revs than stock etc.

 

baffling, PCV, oil seprator catch/return cans, VTA etc

 

Lol absolutely not at 25psi.

 

I went thru all that. my first 71hta was leaking oil into the downpipe and pushing oil into my IC at full boost. depends on the condition of the motor, but I got the same when i got a buschur 2.0. on my 3rd/4th builds I already have built my full VTA setup
