My car saw 21psi at 2500 rpm with the JB fp green mhi housing and 2.4l.The green would hold the 21 psi from 2500-7000rpm and that is one hell of a powerband. You must have a 2.0 to spool that slow.

 

. Hella slow.

 

the ss housing flows more so the system is more efficient. i dont understand what is so hard about that concept.
the mhi housings have their place but they are a bottleneck, plain and simple.
i have a ss green. it really wasnt rocket surgery making it work with all my existing parts.
saying theres never a use for the ss housings is extremely short sighted and ignorant.

 

exactly. fp put together an excellent value for extremely high quality parts. I cant believe how negative the reaction from the community has been.

 

not all reactions have been negative and now that FP has an O2 housing, there is probably even less. however, those of us that don't want it have our reasons. for me, i want a true "stock frame" turbo, meaning the spool of a twin scroll and to fit OEM parts for when i have to smog.
you need to understand not everyone is focused only on better peak numbers.

 

But still faster than you

 

Yes. I think we're all aware that the SS flows more. But if you have a SS Green, IMHO you're ruining the characteristics of what makes that turbo so fun...a 500whp turbo with great spool.

Now you have a turbo that will spool more like a red and will probably make less than an MHI Red.

I never said there is never a case for them. I completely understand the reasons for the SS housing on a Zero and Zephyr. But putting a SS housing on a Green, Red and even Black (unless you want to squeeze out 700hp) makes me scratch my head, because you ruin half of what makes those turbos so awesome...greatvspool relative to comp wheel size.

 

my slow-spooling turbo is still faster than me. i see....

the MHI housings are all but used up, so FP had to do something to keep selling turbos, i guess?. i can see how they thought the SS one is a step in the right direction. they flow better and make more power, so maybe they figured that was a fair trade off.
for a lot of us (from what i can tell), the SS does away with the reason we all stuck with stock-framed turbos.
it seems to me: had they replicated the MHI housing in iron or SS, they would sell like hotcakes.
that being said, they are cheaper than a T3 option so i'd shop FP before Precision, etc.

 

Well, I still think they have some MHI housings available. I spent the extra $400 to make sure I got one

 

they seem to have intermittent availability, at best, and are getting more expensive as they run out (there's a reason i've been stock piling LOL).

 

Big fan of the MHI housing on the Green/Red/Black for a street car. This setup responds almost like the stock turbo but doesn't fall off. If you have proper boost control you can have a great powerband. I'm able to autox this setup or just about anything else.

at what RPM are you hitting 300ftlbs?

 

Looks like 3500 rpms to me.

 

now, that's not bad at all! and sooner than my hta71 gets there.

 

Very impressive numbers
