Not many results out for these yet huh?

 

I just did a er 2.3 motor with an ER downpipe and open dump. 464/400 on pump 91 and 631/545 on c16. FP RED with new SS housing. It works well

 

Great numbers ^ Do you have pics of the downpipe?

 

I have no doubt it works well, I'm more interested in how much spool it sacrifices vs the twin scroll vs how much more midrange and top end it makes. The comparo from Robert was about all I've seen or what R/T and ER did to Mikey's Black.

 

just got my 73HTA green with the new housing(non BB), was on sale $899 for black friday..really couldnt resist haha!! look really nice guys. i have not used a green before..so i wont have any results to compare with. i am also 2.0L ...next up i'll be fabricating a new manifold and a downpipe with open dump..i am a fabricator by trade...so its no hassle for me...

i'll keep this thread posted...

 

I have also been interested in the new FP stainless housings and what the performance differences are. It seems that additional $$ needs to be spent on a new down pipe or on custom fabrication work modifying a larger sized down pipe already purchased. I was thinking about upgrading my stock turbo with an FB black, however this option is now more expensive. Decisions......decisions?

 

Any one installed this ss housing on a red turbo , how the car feel , hp any numbers

 

I wish I could say I enjoyed this turbo but I didnt. Made good number before it started leaking oil like crazy. Couple that with horrible customer service, it's really not worth it

 

Nevermind.

 

Is this the older style before the new SS housing?

 

I had the ss style fp red. I enjoyed it till my car looked like a steam train and lost over 100whp. they said everything is fine it's just a little leaky so I couldn't allow it to go on my car again.

 

I believe what he was asking is if you had a newer Xona CHRA which you didn't you had the older cast CHRA with an SS turbine housings.

bb or jb?

i bought fp green(really green) jb with new ss. i'm scary to install now. but i bought filter with restrictor too.

 

I've purchased a BB red. Looks like a great turbo and I'm really looking forward to getting it installed. I do wish that FP offered a dump pipe that was made for the new housing as I'm really left with no choice but to fab one here in Australia. Also, I wasn't aware that you need to purchase additional clamps and flanges, only found that out after the turbo had arrived which is frustrating. I'll post dyno results after I install, hopefully within the next month.

 

FP does offer a O2 type housing that connects up to a standard 3" down pipe. Look on their webpage...
