It is rather odd that most of the FP failures I read about are Reds. I rarely hear a failure on the Green. I think the HTA Green is probably the best turbo FP sells for the 8/9 IMO.

The BB stock frame turbos I would prefer personally, when and IF they come out that would be nice.

Stock Frame stuff is all we can pretty much use here in California and not have problems. You open your hood with some crazy headers and a nice Garrett Turbo there and well, your getting Ref'd and off it goes anyway. Its just a pain in the ***.

I am putting money away for a Turbo upgrade, but the OEM 9 turbo is quite good for street use. Ive been running 26-27psi on pump gas with my car for 40K miles. It makes 320awhp on the Mustang dyno with 91 **** gas here in CA and right at 400awhp on E85. Not too shabby for an OEM turbo IMO.

 

This is because FP Reds and Blacks utilize different center sections which require the stricter oil recommendations. Thus you see more of the failures.

 

wow another one.. i guess im lucky, i still have 64mm red runin 30psi for about 3 years now. used the wrong oil for 2 years and finally added their new oil line last summer.

 

Touch down for ignorance.

 

How so Milford? You say yes there will be a BB and others say they spoke to FP and the answer is no...there's nothing ignorant about it, no one knows for sure. You don't have proof so try adding something of value rather than an insult.

You have no proof they will just like other people don't have proof they won't. Until FP says otherwise, why potentially spread false hope?

Much like Sanchez and the Jets you came up a little short...

 

I understand that, I dont mean I wont ever track the car, or ever get on it. I just baby the car, but want the extra power. Im just not one of those guys who goes WOT everytime I sit in my recaro's lol. But I will enjoy the extra added power.

 

Except for the fact you don't need a separate oil line or have stipulations on what oil can be used.

 

With the intro of the HKS turbo and the natural evolution of technology.....I'd be very surprised if BB upgrades aren't next for most of the popular stock frame offerings.

 

Damm , That really sucks

Iam getting an Fp Green Soon , hope i don't have this problem

Iam currently using Mobil 10w-30 with stock IX turbo on 25psi , any recommendation of oil to use with the 1st gen green , i was thinking of using amsoil as i have found a direct supplier down here in PR

 

Only the Red and Black have to run specific Oil as the Green is a stock replacement with some work. The reds an blacks are stock frame with the internals of those of a 30r "Red" and 35r "Black" the thrust bearing are differant and thus need better oil lube properties with higher zink and Phosporus count.

 

Even if FP isn't researching/developing a BB CHRA for their turbos, you know that CBRD is...which means, it's only a matter of when (not if) FP will come out with a BB bolt-on turbo of their own.

Heck, if we're really lucky, FP will cast a larger turbine housing too while they're at it

 

Listen Sanchez you are wrong. Just wait and see. There will 100% be a BB stock frame option. Just because the girl on the phone told YOU there wouldn't be, you believe it?..wow you must really think your something special huh?

 

Now that would be awesome!

 

You know a bunch of homers would jump all over a BB BBK-B, which I think flows like an FP Red. And, just so no one gets their panties in a bunch, I would be one of those homers

 

I think you should re-read what I posted; I didn't call, it was another member who called and stated that. I just posted what he said...

Personally, I think FP should put in a BB CHRA for the Red and Black but there's still no proof to say one way or the other.

100% sure huh? Only time will tell...
