I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this already, but I wanted to check cause its too sweet of a deal to pass up......

Does FP machine the hotside of the turbo on a FP green, or do they modify the turbine to fit the hotside???

I have a friend with an FP Green on a 2G.... he hates it, and wants a smaller turbo, aka my evo 8 turbo.... but I think the only thing that will work is the center cartage.... I know they machine the compressor side, but I'm pretty sure I can make that work as it is........ but the hotside I think is the deal breaker. Ideally I would switch my hotside and lines with his and be done.... but I'm fairly certain this isn't the case....

Anyone try this, or have any info?????

I did search for a while and didn't come up with much... if you know of a thread which this has been talked about before, please point in the the direction....

 

The 2G and Evo versions of the FP Green are completely different. That turbo wont work on your Evo. Sorry.

 

First off recognize that the DSM and EVO turbos spin in opposite directions. Now restate any part of your question that is still relevant

 

Well I know that, I have a first gen also.....which acctually has an FP turbo from back in the day when FP was in austin.......

And I figured it wouldn't work.... but people do some amazing things... and wanted to see if anyone had tried it.......



...... I guess case closed wont work.... crap

 

Even if it could physically work (which would require essentially rotating the center shaft 180°, among other things), now you would have a compressor & turbine designed to work with a specific compressor & turbine housing, matched with a completely different set of housings. You could certainly be the first to try it, but I don't think you would be very successful...

 

yea pretty much wont work as the above stated
