FP Black flow rating changed?

Browsing the site and noticed that the Fp Black flow rating changed to 71lb per min and the Zepher is 70.

Wasn't the black at 68, am I missing something?

Looks like the did update it. It used to 65lbs/min with a 78htz wheel. Not it has the 82htz.

The 76htz in the red has also bumped it up to 61lbs/min. And the green is also now using the HTZ aero and is at 57lbs/min. Good stuff.

I have a dbb fp red and fp black here, both in MHI housings, and the compressor wheel exducers are 76mm and 82mm respectively. The zephyr must have had an upgrade to a 79htz wheel. The older wheels were HTA the newer are HTZ aero. The fp red was bought 5 years ago and has done only 800 km as it was replaced by an fp black which I modified and is now running for the past 4 years on the car. So the actual measurements have not changed for red and black, just the aerodynamic design, or so it seems, turbine wheel remains also the same as it used to in fp red and black, and now on the zephyr. Fp red is for sale btw.

FP used to list it, the turbine for the Zero and Zephyr is a touch bigger.

Damn, you mean I gots a 61#/min turbo instead of a 59#? And does that mean the new 57# Green HTZ is a better match for a 2.3? Regardless, I'll take my red with the higher Shep FD for the 6 speed.

This build has me excited

Yeah maybe it is, instead of 67,3/58,8 tdo6h wheel, it's a 68/62,3mm wheel.

Yea, found it..


"Couple this with the enlarged high pressure ratio turbine wheel which is 68/62mm vs the 67/59mm found in our Green, Red and Black models and you have made to order domination over stock appearing performance classes in both 650HP and 750HP sizes. "

I've been using fp stock frames turbos since 2007, and they have done what they say on the tin. Running a dbb fp black now and loving the power delivery and powerband. Tested against other setups, from a 2.0L to 2.3L and from stock turbo to gtx35r none has beaten the fp black lol. All testing was done on straight pump gas. I really liked the previous setup I had on the fp red and the green before that, all good turbos.
