im really curious to know if i should go with the FP Red turbo or a 30r? my mods are : Injen Upper/Lower IC pipes, TurboXS FMIC, Forge mbc, HKS carbon ti exhaust, HKS test pipe, Greddy rs bov, BC 272/272's, Walbro 255 fp, ACT hd clutch/flywheel... right now im making 330whp/324tq @ 24psi...

i also have these parts in my garage waiting to be installed... im waiting to choose a turbo first and doing this project over the winter when the car is in the garage: MR manifold, Invidia o2 housing, ams fuel rail, ams 1000cc injectors, BC springs/retainers, HKS cam gears...

how much whp/tq do you think i would be able to make with a FP Red using all those mods and being on a stock block? also would i need anything else to run a larger turbo other than what i have? i heard i would need a double pumper setup but not sure...

could really use some opinions on this, this would be my 1st build i have ever done... btw i have an 03' evo VIII

 

how many different sections are you going to make a thread in?

 

30r

 

do an fp red, they are bigger then a 30r and bolt on, its between the size of a 30r and a 35r its spools alot faster, just ordered mine yesterday, good track turbo as well

 

you should search

 

I already made a thread which has covered this.

 

import junky: 1st off i posted in the newbie section by accident... why would i ask noobs about which turbo i should get when most of those guys just upgraded from POS honda's?

hella jdm yo: my bad i didnt see your thread when i was looking for answers so i decided to ask myself...



has anyone else had the same setup that i would be using? i was told to go 2.3 kit if i was going to use the red, or just jump to a 35r and stay stock block i would be able to push 460-500 safely...

 

easy choice fp red.. no comparison..

 

FP Red FTW

 

if u stroke the motor u loose a lil top end go with a fp red and a built 2.0 lt

 

im on a tight budget though so i wont b able to do a 35r and a build... i was thinkin the red with a 2.3.... i think i would need to build since i have almost 60k on my motor

 

fp red

 

i'm going to go with a fp red

 

RED. Search the other thread and read why, since this has been beaten.

 

red, intercooler, and a walbro
