Love those guys at FP! One other really strong point everyone should pay attention to is always go with the oil supply line kit. This is really a must for any turbo really, FP or not. If we are talking about getting the most life out of your turbo - this is it! No chance of starving the turbo of oil.
Plus you are looking at fresh oil right after the filter (instead of possible dirty oil from the crankcase) and then a second filter to ensure nothing else gets in.

Can't stress that one enough -

All great info - maybe one of those sticky type threads?

 

Sticky for sure, I don't see how it couldn't be.

 

I am curious as to what motor oil Mikey is running in his Black. Mikey, are you out there dude?

 

I sure am buddy, I run Brad Penn 20w50. I am thinking about switching to AMSOil Z-rod https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...-oil-line.html

I'll think about the Sticky...

The main thing is the right oil, Kiggly HLA, and BR oil pan mod or AMS oil pan and you will NEVER have a problem!

Edit: Made sticky for now.

Wow that "NEVER" is pretty bold!! LOL. I have the Kiggly...guess i just need the oil pan now.

Thanks for the intel. Came in very handy.

 

Very informative thread. My Fp Red lasted a few years and about 60k mi of hard abuse. I never ran it below 30 psi and it even ate an exhaust gasket, a year before giving up the ghost. I had been running it with the first gen oil feed line with no particular oils. That turbo was a champ.

 

My first sticky!!! I am so proud.

 

good timing too sirr!!! just got my RED and now thanks to you I have some very useful information to keep it in good shape for a while!

 

good info

 

great post! this is everything i was looking for, for the past 2 hours -_-"

 

You are welcome!

 

so far my 3 month old green is still working strong.

 

Just got an Evo 8 with the FP Red peaking 30lbs and dropping to about 26lbs by redline. Is this too much for this turbo?
