hey all, like the title says im sorta turbo torn.
no my turbo didnt tare.. i just cant figure out which turbo i should dish out my $$$ for.
im not sure if i should go with a FP Red, CBRD BBK-Full or the new
CBRD BBK-B-BB turbo. im shooting for 400whp on pump 93 and 450-500whp on E-85. with all good bolt-ons, GSC S1 cams, tuned stock ECU, stock block and all that yada yada on 93 pump gas for now and E-85 later down the road.

its is going to be a daily driven evo/weekend warrior so i need a good fast spooling turbo that can easily hold 30lbs of boost(maybe more), i want to be in the 400whp area.

so what are your opinion os which turbo would be best for the set-up that i want to go with??
im now to the evo world, so bare with me! im still learning =)
thanks alot guys!!

 

Im a fan of the fp red, can make good power and not to much lag.

 

im about a purchase a bbk full ported off a buddy and he made just over 400whp on 93oct with a similar setup, most of all dynos ive seen on here people make right around 400whp with all three of those turbos on pump gas with bolt ons

 

an HTA green would get you there without a problem

 

I was leaning towards the full for awhile, and then I found a lot of stuff on the Fp red. They both seem to be close to the same. I guess im going to have to just research a bit more. I might just go with the fp red now, seems like the fast spooling power maker that I'm lookin for lol. But i heard its hard to get a brand new FP red. Is the true?? Like turn over time is long as hell?

 

A full will out-spool a red every time. If you want area under the curve on a stock block 2L on 93 it would be between the HKS7460, the BBK Full or FP Green HTA/DBB. FP turbos seem to be designed with higher pressures in mind. The BBK is made for 22-29psi range on pump and is more of a road racing style response/area under the curve turbo as per Chad's comments.

CBRD should have some BB versions coming out soon so unless you get a great used deal maybe hold off to see what they are like.

 

any of those turbos will get you there. best bftb will be a bbk full or hta green. both are in the $1700 range. the green is good for more power. i suspect the bbk will have slightly better transient response.

 

Spool, I would say the Full esp in BB form.

I have a buddy with a red and he loves the power.

The only thing you have to keep in mind is if your getting a New turbo FP/BBK in Ball bearing form or a used one.

Good Luck as they are all great Turbo's. HKS,CBRD,FP,and MAP EF's

 

Not anymore!

 

jb hta green is $1695, and jb bbk full is $1895. any points for being 50% correct?

 

+10 to mrfred! Lol.

Yea I have been reading up on the bbk bb turbo too. I heard it should be coming soon if it hasn't already.
and yea I'm taking my time with the turbo decision until I'm 110% sure lol
. Thanks a lot guys!

If anyone has any good info on these turbos or dyno sheets with any of these turbos then please post! I'm interested!!
