Well, I had a present sitting on my doorstep today (and im kinda surprized they didnt require a signature for it). Although I was definately a evo white hater, Roberts very impressive numbers for "no severe mods" and texas summer heat were so good that I had to try one.

Going to try to throw it on sunday, but I wont have track results till next friday. Going to be interesting to see what it does on a joe blow car that has average #s instead of freakishly fast for the mod #s.

Turbine wheel looks a hell of alot bigger than the stocker!

Only thing im curious about though is should i leave the FP 18psi WGA on it, or swap my Forge WGA over from the IX turbo I have now?

BTW, I'll have a IX stocker with either a forge wga or a fp 18psi actuator for sale soon.

Nice man look forward to seeing what numbers it puts out.

 

Are you tuning it with 93 oct or another strange fuel, like other did.

 

Lucky you.. what are you selling the 9 turbo for??

 

very cool phalse...congrats

 

Nice one,you one lucky guy,the difference between the stocker and the red is significant,i've got the green on tha car and i wonder whether to go red or a gt35r

 

cant wait till the #'s come out for this one good luck

 

I'll be using plain old amaco 93, and ive got some denso 720s on the way. I'll run it with and without meth.

However, the results might be somewhat skewed as I will be installing my buschur fmic at the same time, though I am kind of tempted to just try the turbo with no other changes.

Thanks mellon.. im sure itll be a different ride than my old 3s with mismatched turbos

 

congrats mines gettin tuned tues...the turbine wheel is HUGE...they had to port the hell out of it to get it in there

 

Congrats on your purchase. As far as the WG go, stick with FP wg. With 4 full turn of preload I was able to hold a steady 24 psi on the green and stock evo9 turbos. With the Forge wg, no matter what preload and setting, I can't keep the boost stable at all. It's just my own observation. Good luck with your.

 

Dang, lucky. This turbo looks very promising, GL!

 

Mellon,what's your opinion on this,i've got the green,got used to it and now i want more,should i go for the gt35r or the red? I'll probably be using the stock block untill it brakes down

 

How long was the wait ?? Tempted to ditch my Green and go Red. ; )

 

Look, I think that the 720's are probably way dinky nozzles for the Red. They are just marginally sufficient for the Green at 25 PSI(95% IDC) on a stock longblock with HKS 272's on pumpgas, according to Razorlab.

So, if they are marginal on the Green which flows 49 lbs./min., how can they supply enough fuel for the Red which flows close to 60 lbs./min.? So, why are so many Red users opting for the Densos?

The Densos are advertised as 720's but many feel that they flow more like a 680. I wouldn't use anything less than an 850cc injector on pump gas with the Red. But, that's just me.

 

red flows at 56
