so last night my poor little FP white rabbit decides its had enough boost in its life and takes a dump on me... well i made around 400whp on pump gas and never got to e-85 it... my motor is still pretty much stock with cams and all bolt ons.. what would you guys do if u were in my boat..? upgrade to a bigger turbo and let the rods fly, or maybe a slightly bigger FP turbo ?

i just want to see a 10.99999999999 pass on my DD is that too much to ask for haha

 

I can tell you that there is a guy on here selling one of these turbos for $400.

You could always have it rebuild. FP has a rebuild service on most turbos even if they dont offer it anymore.

 

Can it be converted to a 71HTA?

 

Theres a guy on the dsmtuners forums named justin who rebuilds turbos relatively cheap and does a decent job. I go through a guy named austin who made my 20g for my talon out of a 14b stock turbo. Point is I would search around and do a rebuild. Idk if cost is an issue or not but it would be cheaper. Down side is your car would have to be down for a little bit. Turn around time is usually a week with a rebuild depending where you go.

I'd look into this option. It seems as though the 71HTA has replaced the white in FP's lineup.

 

no, i believe the 71hta is based off of the evo9 turbo, this is based off evo8 with the 9.8 hot side.

 

the "FP White" is no more...go get the 71HTA...im sure you wont be mad about that turbo.

 

Are you sure? I was nearly positive the FP White was also based off the 9 turbo. I thought it was a 10.5 hotside with a 68HTA wheel on the compressor side.

*edit* answered my own question. Thanks for the info. You learn somethin' new every day!

 

FP White is based off a IX turbo. The White Rabbit is off an VIII.

 

mine is a evo 6 tme turbo... has already been sent off to FP once for the white rabbit upgrade with titanium wheel...

im pretty sure im deff gonna go with the rebuild from FP, after looking around.. now im tore between 71HTA or the Journal Black...

 

Fp red BB

 

they are completely different powerbands. how did you get stuck between these two?

 

im torn between the 2 because my white rabbit was like "instant-on" the spool was insane fast and it had pretty good top end.. but im considering the black strictly on more HP... im just not sure if my daily driver/all around racecar needs as much lag as i predict will come with the black.. nor if i have intrest in a 100= mph powerband... i kinda like the 0-100mph powerband, or its what im used to... hahaha i dont know what i want
