Because of the amount of options available, they are built to order. Lead time depends on the turbo, time of year, and whether it's new or upgrade. Shoot me a PM with your specific inquiry and I will get you the most current lead times!

It depends on what & how you like to drive your car.

I prefer transient response over peak power. If that sounds like you too, then:

at most, i would say fp hta grn or the 71hta if you really want to maximize response with added power.

if your running pump gas, im not sure why you need all that fuel pump.

a walbro 255 should be just fine.

what i am intrested is power all the way from 3500rpm up to 7500-8000rpms.up to now i have not see that with the fp..
my driving style is mostly long trips, and road races.
regarding the pump gas.. here in greece tuning of evos is still in premature stadium... most o the tuners still learning in our cars..... 4 years ago when i first tuned my evo this was one way(double pumps) for my ex tuner wich by the way he blow up my previus engine... NOW I AM SAFE!

v band is used for faster spool up???

All I can say is "read". This question has been answered on your thread, on the forum, in other forums, many many many many many times.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe 100 octane(greece) "Ron" = 94 US Octane!

Right now I am running an EF3 32psi holding fine until 7500 rpm 93oct. Great turbo. and this is on a stock block with not the best compression. Hope that helps.

Edit: stock tb, intake mani, and intercooler, o2 housing.

good morning patrida...

i will disagree with you to the fact that tuners in greece are still learning...

there are a few tuners with VERY good knowledge of evos.

i would say their names here but i dont know if i am allowed to,
you see a familiar forum in greece strictly bans mentioning garage names.

also that keep in mind that 100 octane is actually 100RON (95 AKI).

have you considered HKS GTII KAI bolt on turbo?

Michael.

For 450WHP on a what would be considered 93Octane here you're going to need a turbo that will flow upwards of 54-55LB a minute and the supporting mods of course.

Our Green is rated at 54LB a minute so it'll get the job done but you'll probably be taxing it pretty heavily and 400WHP is a more realistic goal with your fuel choice and mods.

The Red is 59LB a minute and would be better suited for you goal but going up a compressor size is going to increase spool time 200-500RPM but that might be a good thing if you're stock block as it'll move the tq hit to the right of the power band helping to minimize the chance of breaking drive train parts or windowing your block.

Anyway if you're interested in our products just hit me up at the address below or post in here.

V-band option for ease of upgrade for a T3 set up not for a faster spool
