I pretty much decided to get an fp turbo, but i'm not sure which would be best. I can't decide between fp red, and green, ball bearing or journal. I'm shooting for 450-500 wheel with 272 cams and 93oct.

Thanks!

You should invest in headstuds and at least 1000cc, fp red will get you closer to 500 than a green.

 

headstuds should have been on the list... 1000 or 1200cc?

 

You can do 1200, you can do fic 1450.

 

I would say do a red you will make your power easy and will always have space to move up for when you get bored and want more power some precision 1200cc injectors would perfect for your power goals!

black...black..i hate the red turbo..bad experience me and others...

 

I have read about people making 500+ on the new ball bearing fp black. All reviews on that turbo seems to be good. Fp did say that they sell more Greens and Blacks than they sell Reds.

 

Please be more specific. What do you hate about the FP Red turbo exactly? What were the bad experiences that you and others had with the Red?

 

I would like to know this as well, i have a Red and have had it for over a year and its been great.

 

Just ordered the Black DBB so will have a red for sale as soon as it gets in.

 

How much power did you make on the red. hp/tq

 

its known to fail..unlike green and black..plus on 93octane i dont see how you can reach 450-500 on the red..???

 

Black is known to fail too, my buddy on here just had his seize up last night with about 1,000 miles on it. And we were using the brad Penn oil.

 

DBB black or journal? I have yet to hear about any ball bearing versions fail yet. I dont see a reason the red would fail any faster than the black other than user error.

 

If you need help getting a build list together feel free to shoot me a PM or call us at the shop Monday morning! Good luck!
