Just wondering if anyone running the FP Red for the past months on stock internals, only bolt-ons, is having any issues.

 

still going strong

been on the car since November

 

You're good up to about 500 whp before your rod bolts start stretching, then boom you've been grenaded.

 

Thanks guys.

 

Anyone pushing more then 500 for a decent amount of time w/ upgraded rod bolts?

 

ive had my red for some time now about a month after it came out on stock internals and its running strong on e85 at 32-33psi all day everyday

 

500+whp for 15k miles stock rodbolts and stock headstuds. no problem. 32 psi 35r (not a red, but a red will do fine if it doesn't fall apart on you).

 

I am wanting to do the same set-up...good info.

 

Indirect aggression, anyone?

 

>450 awhp on 30 lbs, stock internals but i do have headstuds. no problems. on stock clutch!

 

sorry to go offtopic guys...but was just wondering how your stock clutch is holding.

thanks

 

had to go to exedy twin on mine

 

Would head studs on stock motor be the solution to a 30lb+ fp red making in the area of 500whp?

 

i run 30psi daily with no head studs. I do spray meth and have a leaky bov though. My tuner has a 35r which he runs 32 psi with stock head studs.

 

Interesting mt057, How many miles are on your car? I see you have cam gears, do you have cams?

Anyone else feel free to chime in.

Basically i would like to get a better understanding of whether running a full bolt-on evo 9 with an Fp red and meth at 30lbs+ is flirting with the limitations of the stock motor. Full bolt-ons being upper and lower ic pipes, FMIC, Maf pipe/intake, Bushur bullet TBE, EBC, 1000cc inj, walbro 255, EPM 02 housing, Ported exaust mani, ported turbo (stock as of now but would like to go fp red), Ac delete, Stock ecu, maf and cams. Now add fp red and meth to the equation. Is that "safe"? I understand it all depends on the tune, but for arguements sake lets say were making 500+whp so fairly aggressive tune.

Where would the weak point be in this setup? Cams? Head studs?
