I can’t thank Charles enough. I’m now at 24 months operating the NX2. It’s so damn fun. Was the last of all recommended mods for 93 Octane. WOW!!!! You have no idea how absolutely ridiculous fun it is! I get 40mpg at 65mph on a flat with the cruise control on. I have averaged 31.2mpg over these 24 months. Thanks for the absolutely brilliant product! And the HOWL it makes through catless MBRP race is 😎

Sorry to hear; we've been working on that, as it's been a struggle with a small staff. I'm glad to hear the GT guys show respect!

[@johnsampson7466]

Charles, As you know, I purchased the Precision Turbo / Turbonetics NX 2 a while back from you folks. I also listened to your recommendations about the intercooler, waste gate, COBB, 3" downpipe, NGK Ruthenium plugs gapped to .0236, and the catch can. I run 91 Octane pump gas. I had the car tuned by Edge Motorsports in Englewood, CO. They are a COBB authorized tuner facility. They dyno tuned it. As you said in the video, with 91 Octane, I'm producing 354.1 hp at 5300 rpm and 376.4 ft. lb of Torque at the same rpm. BEFORE the upgrade my personal best ¼ mile time at Bandimere Speedway (track elevation 5800' ASL) was 13.29 seconds at 105.7 mph trap speed. At that time I had the intercooler upgrade and 3" downpipes with a CAI, stock turbo and a COBB State 2 OTS tune. I don't know what the pre-upgrade hp and torque were. Your video was a big help. Thank you for putting it out there. Our first track day here in CO will be April 9th weather permitting and another test and tune April 23rd/24th. I'll leet you know how it does. I also upgraded my tires to Mickey Thompson Street Comp 18" 255/45 R 18. The tires that came with the car, in a word, sucked.

[@FunctionFactoryPerformance]

Wow that DA is super high and trap speed is impressive. I'm sure with just a little meth that car will dip into the 12's with ease! Thanks for the detailed review and you're very welcome for the video.

Are you really going to pushing oil into the valve cover if running 91/93 pump fuel at under 26PSI ? Im doubtful of that, thats so close to what the stock system is handling. Are you saying you need the catch can regardless ? Or that you only need it if chasing that 520HP number ?

Catch can is a must regardless. Even on stock tune with minimal boost there’s plenty of blow by getting into the valves.

Unless you are willing to sign a contract, we do not recommend going this high on the stock block with this turbo. We recommend our Full-Race turbo kit with a larger turbo to ease cylinder pressure to achieve a higher horsepower on the stock block.

[@FunctionFactoryPerformance]

They’re not even comparable. The NX2 is 2x bigger than the stock unit and even the HPP turbo. HPP is only 1 to 2 mm larger than the stock turbo. They could have literally achieved the same results with just timing and boost but decided to use a larger turbo which makes no sense to us.

[@ST_DCT]

@@FunctionFactoryPerformance I'm no expert on turbos, I'm just trying to make an informed decision, according to the specs I just read on the 2020 HPP it says the raised it to a 63mm turbo compressor, but doesn't give specs for the turbine, so it's hard to make a decision without all the info. I don't have a problem with spending to get more performance overall, and look forward to starting the performance upgrades. I've been following your content and you're giving me lots of good ideas, I appreciate the response.

[@FunctionFactoryPerformance]

@@ST_DCT to put it in simple terms The HPP turbo air’d out to the max could make around 410 wheel horse power where as the NX2 air’d out can make around 530 wheel horsepower

I already have 394 whp 396 tourqe on 91 and stock turbo with 29 psi 🤔

Any longevity tests on 500hp tuned ecoboosts?

[@FunctionFactoryPerformance]

Yes, if you beat on it, the bearings will go out at about 80k miles.

[@mynameisdeleted]

@@FunctionFactoryPerformance guess if you wish to do that get a performance rebuilt engine, get oem one fogged for storage and be prepared for 2nd swap

[@mynameisdeleted]

@@FunctionFactoryPerformance rebuilding with new bearings at 80k instead of 160k adds 2.5 cents per mile. The v8 inefficiency with heavy foot costs 20-25 cents per mile

[@TheJMan1K]

Will 450whp be a good number that’ll last 100K plus miles with proper maintenance and supporting mods?

[@FunctionFactoryPerformance]

We had 90K miles before I miss shifted. When we tore down the engine, the bearings were decently beat. I'd say 100k is the MOST you're gonna get out of it at that power level.

@@FunctionFactoryPerformance from there what would have to be rebuilt?

@@TheJMan1K The bearings go out, but if you're building it you might as well "build it" with forged parts.

@@FunctionFactoryPerformance Hi. How much whp and wtp did you have when the engine bearings broke? I’m considering that Turbo for being around 400 whp / 450 wtq, but I don’t know how long a stock engine will last by staying on the limit side of whp. Thanks

In the future will this damage the car?

[@FunctionFactoryPerformance]

No, you just need to maintain it such as oil changes and making sure you’re tuned by us!

[@RSTouch]

What’s the max HP this turbo can give you I heard up to 700hp? But ur saying 520hp

[@FunctionFactoryPerformance]

520, the Focus version is larger and you’re still at about 570 air completely out.

[@RSTouch]

@@FunctionFactoryPerformance so if I get this for my mk3 rs I can make up to 570 with the extra mods??

When are you having another chance to win one of those?

[@FunctionFactoryPerformance]

Hi Jack! Unfortunately we’ll be holding off on giveaways for a decent amount of time.

[@noskoolskate]

can't you pull like 380 hp off of 91 and tune on stock turbo?

[@FunctionFactoryPerformance]

No, 320 at most I 380 is e30+ turned way up

[@noskoolskate]

So with a tune downpipe exhaust and blow off valve you only gain 10 horsepower more than stock?

[@noskoolskate]

i guess its worth noting the stock hp have changed a bit over the years the 21 models with the performance pack comes from the factory at 330

[@steveamestoy]

@@noskoolskate the standard ecoboost is 310 crank horse power on 93 octane and 350 crank torque. With FBO's and tune on 91 320 wheel horse power can be achieved so depending on what the car puts down in stock form you will see anywhere from 40-70 hp gain. The 2020+ HPP cars come 330 crank horse power with the bigger ford performance turbo.

[@anthonyprieto1495]

Damn only 45 horsepower increase if usimg 91... Glad I watched the entire video because now I know it's not worth the money sadly :( Would rather just buy a GT lol

[@FunctionFactoryPerformance]

How is it a 45 hp increase? Baseline HP can be around 240 to 250 WHP. With minor bolt on-s and NX2, you're looking at nearly 360 to 380 on 91. That's a huge delta.

[@danielaguirre5177]

There is a difference between whp and crank horsepower 😂

[@bzmotoninja83]

Would this work for the ranger too? So far, the only turbo "Upgrade" for us is a milled housing and bigger wheels

[@FunctionFactoryPerformance]

This will only fit Mustang EcoBoost

[@michaeldrevyankosr6180]

For all the work and cost of parts, might as well buy a GT and just drive it😂

[@FunctionFactoryPerformance]

We never disagree with this statement, its the price difference between the EcoBoost and GT that is the issue.

I knew it.! It sounds too good to be true. Just like another sale pits type of a deal. Why can’t one company invent something that don’t have a string attached to it. Don’t claimed this will produce 520hp to which its gonna required a supplemental in order to achieve its goal. This killed it in terms of purchasing one.

[@FunctionFactoryPerformance]

Uh... that's not how cars work Jeep Wrangler Lover. ANY UPGRADED TURBOCHARGER will require more fuel, a bigger intercooler and a tune at minimum. Try again.

[@gunnerscustoms]

$850 for a simple catch can? 😆🤣😂

Yes Chuck, the package comes with 3 catch cans that all have a functioning job. Let us know when your ready to built a 500+ WHP eco!

[@Krotos1970]

How much bigger is the nx2 vs the hpp turbo?

[@natel4545]

I have an HPP the FP Turbo is 5% larger than the standard turbo but has a larger compressor than the NX2, but the turbine housing on the NX2 in addition to its efficiency makes a night and day difference. If you're contemplating between the two NX2 all the way. I got my HPP thinking the turbo would give me a small advantage and while its stock tune is 40% wider on a torque curve, it's simply not worth it. They are coming out with a 2024 next gen NX2 this year capable of 600+whpm I would honestly wait for that to come out and old prices will go down and then you can choose whichever one you want. The NX2 by itself won't do much. First mods should be catch can, intercooler (I went CVF Race, CVF TiAl CP's TS Raceport BOV) and then you definitely want a DP. I went CVF 3' Catted ($399). If you buy the NX2 install the TS 19psi WG before you bolt it on because your CP's and other connections will be in the way. My car comes with a quad exhaust and resonator delete and from what I know upgrading to catback/turboback exhaust doesn't gain you much power or many advantages and still sounds like shit. The tomei is a viable option only because you're reducing exhaust weight by over 100lbs. I would get a radium PCV baffle at that point and focus on reducing crankcase pressure. UPR also sells a crankcase breather that goes on your oil cap for $79.99. If you do the UPR DVCC by itself its $289 but with billlet check valves, magnetic drain plugs, clean side catcher, fully optioned out it's about $800. EMS is also selling Brisk plugs pre-gapped because the NGK ruthenium's are very firm and were a pain to get exact but they come at .30 so if you're gapping them there isn't too much to do.

[@FunctionFactoryPerformance]

Almost 2x bigger. The HPP turbo is barely bigger than stock, and Ford wasted so much money retooling. Of course, without knowing the actual motive of what they switched, upgrading to the NX2 or BNR is the only choice.
