I would say absolutely, but you can also buy the 2.0 in JB, and in that case they will be much more comparable.

Although based on 94awd's previous data, the blouch turbine and compressor may have less mass vs. the parts FP uses.

 

Good point. Would love to see a back to back comparison. I want this FP54 Green so badly

 

Yeah, I'm not going to lie, on paper this looks like it could be the best stock frame turbo out there.

 

the journal bearing dom 2.0 which has a larger compressor wheel than an FP red and has better transient response than the original HTA green with the smaller 65mm turbine. it also spools faster than my BB red. transient response is about the same as well. i think BB in this smaller twin scrolls is a waste performance wise. but it may be worth it for the reliability for some.. myself personally have not yet killed a plain bearing FP turbo of any sort. and i have run quite a few.

 

Interesting that the comp wheel on the BBK-B is bigger than a Red...even though the Red is supposed to flow more. (59# on the HTA and 61# on the HTZ).

Looking forward to results of this. But Jerry's comment awhile ago (I think in his build thread) that even though it spoiled quicker, he missed the upper rpm oomph of the Red vs. BBK-B/Dom 2.0 is what convinced me to get the Red for my 2.3.

 

wonder how this compares to an old mhi hta red

 

Well. There's a 2 pound difference between the comp wheels. (57# vs. 59#). This new Green will spool quicker with probably close to the same power. Green spool. Old Red power

 

Ultimate street turbo

 

The pictures of the Ross Sport turbo looks like 9 blade turbine. On paper the new green and this Ross Sport turbo sound very similar. Ross Sport has a BB option.

 

What is the estimated wait time on receiving one of these bad boys?

 

Not sure yet as I haven't heard from FP regarding the order yet (not surprising considering it was Friday afternoon). I'll update you guys when I get more information

 

This looks like a really nice turbo. Looks similar to the older Red. I have the older HTA Red (MHI ) and its well balanced for a street car. On my stock engine the red was making good power at 4000-4200 and would hold torque for awhile. Spools quick enough for some auto x courses and works well on the street. When I was shopping between the green,red, black it seemed like the green came on but ran out of steam quickly ( torque dropping out) The red looked well balanced and people complained about the transient response of the black.
This new green looks very promising.

 

FP said on Facebook this morning that they have 8 units ready to go

 

Saw that too, super tempting. I need to finish my mini X build then pick this thing up

 

Does the FP Green require a catch can setup like the red/black do?
