CrassFC3S

ok well im trying to start a project car check list as i am getting an old FC of mine back and will be slowly building a monster. im shooting for 700whp haha i know its extreme but like i said this is a long term project, ok i know the t88 could do what im looking for but i wanted something a bit more responsive, someone sugested a fp36?? its a forced performance turbo but i cant find any info on it and i havent heard anything about them... soooooo someone help me out here... whats my turbo??

Forced performance specializes in DSM's. the rear A/R's are not compatible with what a Rotary needs. a GT40 would do the trick, as would a T70,T72,T76 etc...

teknics

GT3540 might be possible as well.



700whp eh? street port or other?

You do realize that after you spend $20k+ to get 700rwhp you're going to need atleast another $10k to be able to use that power right.

700whp is possible but might i sugest c16 fuel when aproching that number, a gt42 will do the trick a gt3540 is too small but make sure the ht side is minimum 1.00 a/r.

C16 to say the least if you want to make it semi-reliable and have that kind of output to the wheels you better look into methanol injection. Seriously have you looked at the cost to this buildup that you want. Big horsepower is great and if you have the money to do it go for it. Big power takes a big turbo and when it comes to big turbos your gonna get lag. What exactly are you building it for drag racing or what? Because lag is not an issue if your drag racing well at least for me it isn't. I personnally use Precision turbos the turbo for my car is the PT74GTS .96 on the hotside look it up on their site. It's a great turbo and will be more than enough to get what you want. Like someone else has said look to spend some money maybe not $20,000 but at the least $10,000 just in the motor build up. By motor build up I mean the turbo, the manifolds, the fuel system, the intercooler, the machine work to make the motor reliable i.e. dowell pinning. It all adds up and that's about where I'm at and I do all the work myself. Hope this helps you and good luck.

I agree that the 20,000 mark is a little high. But disagree with the methanol. There are quite a few RX-7s here in Japan running over 700hp on high octane pump gas.

id say 10k-15k is reasonable if you are patient and slowly buy pieces over a period of time. I made the mistake of adding up my parts, im only aiming for 550whp at the moment, and i was around 13k (suspension, brakes, trans, motor, turbo etc...basically everything you need to make the power and put it to the ground)...nevermind the 7k in bodywork...and thats just anew bumper no full bodykit.

I'm not saying that it is impossible to make that 700rwhp on high octane fuel. What I'm trying to say is that with methanol you can significantly make more horsepower and run safer than you would with race gas. My current setup I'm running VP C16 it's less complicated than methanol and I'm aiming to get at the least 580rwhp. That's the mark I've set for myself because a friend had hit that mark with a similar setup as mine. He made 580rwhp and made 200+ passes down the quarter mile before going through that motor talk about reliability. By the way I live in San Diego, CA we only get 91 octane fuel at our pumps what kind of octane fuel are you guys getting at the pump that you can make 700hp? Sounds amazing to me that they can do that. Are they running alcohol/water injection systems and at what boost pressures are they making 700hp? Also 700hp at the engine is alot different than 700hp at the wheels.

Japanese premium is 100-104 octane
