i have done all the boltons,and now its either cams,or a bigger turbo..I know ill need injectors..I guess my question is if you guys had the funds which way would you go..From what ive read,cams dont gain as much on the evo 9..But,i can have my turbo built into either of these turbos..Any suggestions??And i already tried to search,and didnt find what i was looking for..Justin

 

Were your dyno numbers on 93 octane pumpgas and the stock intercooler?

A lot of people say that the switch from the IX turbo to a Green is not that worthwhile, especially if you will be running pumpgas. The Green shines at over 25 PSI. To run 25 PSI or higher through the Green on pump you'll need to pull out a few degrees from the timing table. So there is a tradeoff. So, if you'll be running pump gas then the jump from the IX to the Green turbo is not that worthwhile.

Although the Green and the BBK flow about the same amount of air(49ish). The BBK spools a bit quicker and is a better pumpgas turbo. In Cali, and on 91 octane, the BBK on an Evo IX, is laying down significantly higher dyno numbers than the Green could. So, on pumpgas, the BBK is a no brainer.

So, if I had a IX, for me it would boildown to a choice between the BBK-Full and the FP Red. Will you be running straight pumpgas in a daily driven IX(=BBK)? Or, will you be using occasional higher octane race gas, corn fuel, or Meth(=Red)?

 

I think Sparky pretty much hit the nail on the head there- have to decide what your goals is g/l with choice

 

Sparky is correct as this is the decision many of us are making. Personally, I have an E85 station less than three miles from my house, so after I get back from Iraq, the FP Red will find a home guzzling down E85.

 

I went Red and I have a IX. I also have meth though so I'm not sure how the Red will do with just pump gas. I'm working on a dual map setup so I'll find out soon enough.

 

did you figure out yet what your going to do? how is it working for you?

 

if i were you..i would do cams>intercooler>turbo

 

did you see the E85 numbers from GST on the BBK?

mustang dyno, bolt ons... 445/415

As far as I can decipher from looking at that dynograph, it is producing approximately 400 ft.-lbs. by 3500 RPM. It is a torquey little rascal.

 

Wow, nice numbers from the BBK for sure.

 

yeah go bbk if ure staying pump gas if ure running e85 or other go fp

 

lol like i said before it kind of does matter what your using your car for but look at the prices on each of these turbos seriously.
(rounded figures)

green 1695
red 1799
bbk lite 1200
bbk full 1695
tomei 1695

the pricing of each is right around each other so its not a matter of prices but a matter of what you do with the car. I personally think the red is the complete choice because of room to grow into. if you gonna spend that much turbo better last awhile and not be pushing its limits already when bought. but again that depends on alot of factors tuner mods etc. just get what you can AFFORD dont need to be buying something just to post it for sale because you cant afford it later. OR like some want more power so then want to upgrade turbo again. Think seriously about how much hp you want to get then that will choose your turbo for you. they all have there limits Good luck

 

BBK full is 1650 shipped

add 100 for port and polish
