The ET 50 trim did not make very good power as I said. The story doesn't end there but with all the BS I have been attempting to tolerate on here lately I got sick of posting.

Here is the rest of the story, well most of it.

I put another turbo on the car after the ET 50 trim. This was another turbo of the same basic design, the only thing that had to be changed was the turbo itself.

The power went up around 20 whp. Regardless, called Shaun and told him I still was not happy with the car and didn't feel right about charging him for anything we had done so far.

That night I had an idea. I wanted to swap camshafts and see if it made a good difference.

Well my hunch was correct and the car gained 57 whp with the cam change. Don't bother asking what was in the car or what I changed to. That information isn't ready for release.

Called Shaun and let him know I was happy with the car now, it made 405 whp and it was done.

A few days later I get a call, Shaun wants to try the 20gLT/Green.

As of today the car now has our dual muffler set up on it to quiet it down and the LT/Green turbo on it.

Next week it is going to get dyno'd. This is actually an awesome test as this is the 3rd turbo on this car, back to back.

As for any type of non ballbearing non watercooled turbo kit coming from us for under $2,000...............forget it. Not going to happen. The idea has been aborted as I am not happy with what is available or the power it makes.

I think this change is going to prove just how great the Green turbo is.

Last turbo that was on this particular car was a DSM Red from FP. I was not very happy with the outcome of the dyno results. The car made 405 whp on pump/alky. This was up from the ET 50 trim. This increase in power from the 2nd turbo came from a cam swap. These are the cams I was speaking of, 57 whp change.

So, Shaun and I spoke, he decided that he wanted to try the LT.

Put the turbo on the car re-dyno'd this week. The LT made less power than the FP Red. Maximum HP was 375 but torque was up to 405 ft lbs. In the low end of the graph the LT made 160 additional FT LBS over the Red. But at 5600 rpm the Red just took off from the Green and by 7000 rpm was making over 30 more whp.

Here are some things about this particular build.

The car is a 2.3 liter engine. The cams are big.

The Green didn't have enough wind to supply the car with the air/boost it needed. The power/torque down low was great but up top, even with the HD actuator the boost fell from 29 psi to 22-23 psi at 7,000.

The DSM FP Red turbo held a perfectly flat boost line of 29 psi.

The DSM FP Red turbo has had great results on DSM's for years. It worked well on here too.

Latest scoop. Shaun has decided if he is going to have to loose some low end torque by running a larger turbo then he is going to go larger and get it over with. We are putting a GT3065 on the car next

I do have the complete FP Red turbo kit from this build off the car and ready to sell. The turbo worked very good on straight up gas too and the internal gate controlled the boost perfectly.

PM me for details on the red turbo kit.
