FP Red SS Housing Results, might want to go Green...
Mods:
Kelford 272 cams GSC valvetrain Buscher CC FP manifold (at the time, I have a custom tubular now) FP red SS JB FP o2 housing 38mm Tial WG ID1000s EGR delete ETS FMIC kit and piping Forgot the brand of DP, but I think it was Invidia and we had to weld the new FP bung to mate to the O2 housing Results are below DynoJet, 92 Octane, we had a 497 whp run, but as you can see on the dyno, it kept spiking at the very end, we swapped back to a MBC and had to road tune to like 24 psi~ https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.evo...5a6eb6754a.jpg So I bought the FP JB Red and all the fixings during their black Friday sale, figured green wasnt big enough for me and black was too big, wanting to stay stock block. Was told SS spooled later, but nothing crazy, driving around town I feel like nothing happens til like 5-5.5k~, seemed like big turbo spool to me :-/ I am debating on trading it in for a FP green SS, I would love to go MHI, but I would have to switch everything (o2 housing, possible downpipe, etc) Driving around the country roads/hills was literally no fun. The power it made was awesome, but it made the car less fun to drive, imo. Is my lag tune related or should I just bite the bullet on a new setup? Any advice would be great.. |
I've read the SS housing turbos react like the "next size up" in terms of MHI. I.E. Green spools like Red, Red spools like Black, etc. The MHI red was on the fence for me... a bit on the "lazy" side (for my preference, not as a rule), so I can imagine the SS Red being less than fun for regular driving. Between the housing, your tubular manifold... I can see how it would seem less than responsive. If you are running a large FMIC, that wouldn't be helping, either.
I wasn't even really happy with my MHI Green, to tell the truth. But this is after having crazy fun with an HTA71, so I had different expectations. All on a stock shortblock, of course. I've never been a fan of larger turbos on stock shortblocks, due to not being able to take advantage of the additional torque once they are cranked up. We get all the lag, none of the benefits (other than a dyno number). I felt this with a 30r and FP Green. Sorry to hear you aren't happy with the results, though. That's a bummer, but I totally get it. I wonder why, with the popularity and desirability of the MHI housing, FP didn't design/build with that in mind, instead of going this route. I bet you could sell off all that FP stuff and buy MHI parts while at least breaking even. I'm back to a stock turbo and loving it, if that gives you any motivation LOL. |
Yeah I really wish I went with the 71HTA, or ran my buddies beef to **** Evo 9 turbo that he builds, 'Tyler Genari
Would have had way more fun and still be in the 400 whp on pump range |

HTA 71 with aggressive cams and E85 is an awesome street set up. I'm loving it. That being said with MHI housings now available again, I'd be curious to see how different the MHI FP Green would feel.

Damn, seeing people unhappy with the spool of a MHI green makes me hesitant about going MHI red. Lol
