wondering what turbo to put on my evo 8 i want a good street turbo but i wanna be able to make 450-500hp and have quick spool any help would be great

 

Fp red, im sure others will chime in as well.

 

Depends on the motor and fuel type. Stock block 500 whp is pushing it, especially with the stock frame turbos that hit really hard. A 2.3L will spool faster and could make those numbers easily with an FP Red or Black. Running E85 makes hitting 500+ a breeze on any turbo FP Red or higher.

 

Maybe you should provide us with some more info, like stock motor vs built...fuel type...current mods etc.
I just made 515hp w/FP red on my stock block IX.

 

I was thinkin just doin a stock block with hks 272's and arp studs and a jm intake manifold and a stainless tubular manifold

 

I don't wanna do ado a crazy build for now I just want something I can drive everyday easily

 

Your not gonna make good power using HKS 272's they make nice expensive paper weights though.

 

Seeing that NJ doesn't have E85 avail. everywhere let alone anywhere, you will need to get a larger turbo for pump gas.

FP red, BBK-B, etc..... but you will lose some spool up..

Good Luck

 

500whp is not pushing it on stock block. I know a lot of people that are 600whp on stock block. It is all about keeping tq below the 425 mark. The FP Black is the best turbo for stock block imo. The Black and Red almost spool identical, no reason to do a red. Go Green or Black, period. The Black will also give you some room to grow when you build the block

I made 540whp on my FP Red stock block and ran that for 1.5 years and never had a problem.

HKS 272/280 vs Custom GSC cam. Straight back to back. GSC FTW
