OK, back to the FP RED, its a direct swap of your old turbo, meaning your not required to upgrade the hotside, the only application you need to get is the FP Evo 8 Install Kit.

With all that said, starting shopping and update us with your power gains.

 

2006evoixmr

so i need to buy a 10.5 hotside then????? thats basically what your saying. the br o2 requires a core right. when i take that section apart i want to replace everything then not have to wait. So i guess i need to buy another cheap 02 off somebody?? so kelford 272 is direct drop in no upgrading required and they are better than the comps 272 and hks 272. I also just read and was told by Mellon that Br(brian) under preform for the money. So can i get those camgears i showed you last post and kelford 272 im good till 500whp??? im thinking about getting the FP red now does not matter to me either that or the HTR 35 one(again if i said it incorrectly i really dont care you know what i mean)

Simple can the FP red put me to or very very close 500whp on pump gas or would i have to do injection which according to you i would have to upgrade my internals??

there a guy selling a 10.5 hotside BNIB i was gonna buy that if i need it for the FP red. so at least i have that in waiting now and work on getting timing belt kelfords and those greddy camgears

 

do they make the 270's for the evo ix? i am also looking for some quality cams that you do not need to replace the springs and retainers?

 

i thought evo 9 cams don't lope because of mivec? most of the cam'd evo 9 vids i saw on youtube have smooth idles. there's one with an m3 that has lope but that's the only one i noticed

 

some tuner are really good and make it seem like the car is not loping at all. like they say its all depends on your tune

 

The 10.5 Turbine Housing is not needed for the O2 housing. I actually got off the phone with BR and they verified that as well. Also they were able to tell me the comparison different with the Invidia O2 versus their BR Ceramic Coated O2 and as I expect the BR O2 is better all around, by way of testing. Just thought I share that with you.

Again, if you want 500whp be prepared to spend $3,000 and up on a nice Turbo Kit. But most people who go that route usually have their motors build to withstand that type of power. Its only so long the stock motor will run at its best in that high HP stage.

Everyone recommends the 400whp range for people who plan not to have their motors build to prevent other components (like transfer case, transmission, etc..) from wearing out. I was on the same goal as you.

Back to the FP RED, it will get you closer to the 500whp range without paying high $$$$ on a turbo kit. Bottom line, the FP RED is a direct swap on the stock EVO 8 (with the EVO 8 Turbo Install Kit) and EVO 9 Turbo.

Look under Mitsubishi.

 

I recommend the 35R if you want to do 500awhp on pump gas, I'm not saying it CANT be done with a Red but that's a very tall order that few will be able to fill.

 

Thanks Mellon, +1 on that.

 

Mellon!!!!!!!!!!! what happened to you buddy???? i sent you new emails with updates no response from you. I guess you been busy. Kind of got lost without you lol. you see my new pics of the install i did. now i have a boost leak i have to find in addition to the first one lol. im gonna take my evo to this classic ford place and let them boost leak test it and find this leak i have no ideal where to begin lol. Time to get this boost right. you told me about that 35r. i been reading up alot on turbos etc. i see the Fp red sounds pretty good actually. better then the green in all factors. who know i might get both just swap out. whats the max power i could get out of this red mellon and 2006ixmr


im gonna check out that kelford cams sight right now. whats your opinion on those cams mellon??? Also im gonna order that o2 you sugguested 06mr. now is it a direct bolt on or do i have ot do some modding like the invidia 02??

 

I'm alive hehe just been a busy lil bee, expect a response from the e-mail tonight though.

I have a customer on a Red at 471awhp but I've only tuned a few others and they aren't making that much power. They might be able to if they hurry up and send the log files back so we can finish So I don't know yet if that 471 is a freak or going to be what every customer can expect. I know the 35R customers with good supporting mods almost always get close to 500awhp or more which is why I feel more confident about that.

I have a few customers with Kelfords but again we aren't done tuning so the jury is still out. Lots of other shops are seeing success with them so I think they are going to do very well. They sure placed well in the AMS cam test they did a while back, but that was on a 35R and low boost on a race head. I'm not sure a stock head will see the full benefit of a larger cam like that.

 

The BR O2 Housing is a direct bolt-on. No additional modding is required. Trust me, you won't regret the BR Stainless Steel and Ceramic Coating O2 Housing, it works like a charm.

I would like to see your gains as you start bolting on parts, have Mellon tune it for you and send out the results. Good luck deciding which Turbo set-up you 'll use. Either way I think you'll be satisfied.

 

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THATS FUNNY. because mellon knows the deal. i have not even tune my car period. all that stuff i listed is on the car. My nearest tuner that i trust would be him 5+ hours away from me. Maybe Kevin D but i have no ideal who he is i just know he is in texas somewhere. Could be wrong. Why do you think i ask so many questions and was worried about idle i have to make that aggressive drive. Not to mention im doing all this work myself. just me and my moms boyfriend. then on top of that im also working on my beatiful 350z. So swapped off on one to the other. im doing outside and interior in the 350z then engine on the evo. then ill swap. check out my 350 body kit came from germany lol. nobody rolling like it.

so back to the story after the mits dealership royaly screwed up my manifold job and did not even bolt my turbo back in place and had to ship me evo out of state to get it resolve i do all the work myself. so any job i take on better be worth my time and not require to much heavy modding. Now i do have access to a full blown shop with lift etc i just have to do the work. NISSAN DEALER LOVES ME!!!!! they let me use it as i please just have to let the 350 sit there attract customers lol. so i was gonna go see mellon after i installed cams camgears and its looking like kelford 272 then tune it. I can give you numbers then. Ill then bolt the turbo on and retune. Hell i might just put the whole damn car together and then get it tune in one setting. the reason i feel this way is i dont have the luxury of getting my car tuned constantly or completely screwing up a job. i have to fix it and if i dont understand something im asking question till I get it. ask me about changing radaitor hoses LOL. crack the top of the rad and had a nasty nasty coolent leak. then i had to replace the rad lol. AND mellon said the facotry rad is great does not need replacing lol if you change hose chances are your gonna crack the top like i did but you live and learn

so thanks for the information 06mr and mellon want it done right no shortcuts that way im not rebuying parts. I think im sold on the 02 housing ill get those next check and then in january im gonna get the cams and camgears. im trying to go for a chrome blue engine bay lol im on my way there. now just waiting on my blue perrin catch can coming in tomrrow sweet and my rainbow spark cover. i need to find a blue radaitor cooling plate that i can buy now

 

nice looking z and ease up on those radiator hoses on the EVO haha

 

LOL does not matter now its replaced as you will see in the email i sent you. Gone. MELLON how about we build the first 500 whp FP red evo LOL. sound intresting.
