Members on here, the are in the know with FP releases have also hinted, just like all the rumors about the FP black that existed, and people saying anything bigger then a red in a modded IX turbo is nearly impossible.

Aby be the guinea pig for us and test out the ATP GTX bolt on lineup
you might have what your looking for in the GTX3076R , or not..... based on ATP's history with the Evo's

 

There are so many options already, and waiting is SO HARD when you want more power NOW!!!

 

^^Agree haha I started with a green, went to black, and now if they are coming out with a bb black Im gonna have to upgrade again lol

 

I would say the Green HTA on E85 is good for 145mph or so. I only got to make one pass with it on pump gas and went 10.8@137.7 at 28psi, the run was very flawed as I was on 235/45/17 Kuhmo XS's that either spin like mad or wheel hop so on that pass I launch it to low and it hopped so I lifted and short shifted 2nd. Later in the year it dynod 481whp on Buschurs dyno. Swapping a BR 2.3 in it right now to get a real # out of it. I also have a stock oIX turbo and a Black here I will try for a comparison. Link to the botched pass:

Curt - Would you please provide some detail on what you have done to the engine ? Cams, compression, FMIC, intake manifold, etc. ? 137 mph is screaming with the HTA Green ( I can't even imagine 145...)

Also, I noticed your head work (listed on your site). Do you O-ring your heads or would you recommend the block be O-ringed ? Thanks

 

From the thread that got closed, he supposedly did something that helped him gain 10 mph trap . He clamed it was something that rally cars are known to do or have. However he hasn't shared that info and doesnt seem like he will in the future. Having said that, I'm not sure he will go into details.

 

Aby just drop some of your doe on a Black

Mikey

 

He already has a Black...

 

^ Yep, I am already running a black-nasty!

I am just thinking about selling the turbo & running a stocker till the bb units become available or ????

 

Have you talked with Robert about that?

Mikey

 

Mark Berry is running the green and he put down 485/490 on Cobb's mustang dyno..

 

^ do you have more details?

link, build, etc?

sorry, i dont know who mark berry is.

 

Mark competes nationally in SCCA autox, his car is 2300 lbs with a monster motor in it. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/mo...tion-viii.html

I don't want to disclose too much info about his car, so if you want more information, his screen name is Evo8RA. You could always ask him.

 

I see no need for O-rings, properly surfaced head and block with tool steel A1 or L19 studs and factory headgasket is all that is needed.

I have a feeling the 2.3 will run the Green out much earlier than the 2.0 did so at the end the car will have a Red or Black on it.

 

Every real-world example I've seen seems neck-and-neck with a standard bbk full (which I owned on my 8). 430whp on dyno dynamics, 440-450whp on mustang and right around 500whp on dynojet. I personally made 480whp with my bbk on a dynojet but first weather and then an accident prevented me from ever getting the car down the 1/4 mile.

To this day I think that the bbk/green are perfect *the* perfect size for most evo owners. On e85 you can max out a set of 1000cc injectors and a standard walbro and be right at the safe limit of the stock block while still making enough TORQUE down low to make a car full of guys giggle and enough power up top to get you into the 125-127mph area.

Isay do it, powerband is what makes these cars fun!
