What are your thoughts between these two turbos. FP Black vs a turbo kit with a gtx3076r? Which would you all think is better for pump? Which is better for e85? I haven't seen an Evo X with a GTX3076R yet... perhaps I've overlooked it. Thanks in advance!

 

It all depends on what you want to do

 

fp Black. I had a 30r nice but there is more power to be made with the black especially on e85 just look at the dyno threads.

 

GTX3076R > FP black, and its ball bearing...

 

I personally like the black over the 30r as I ran both

 

Yea... but I'm assuming that you were using a GT not a GTX... not that there is a hugggge difference, but some difference at least.

 

Yeah it was a gt3076r on my rb25det in my 240 but it didn't give me the power that I wanted

 

T3, T4, ? Single scroll, twinscroll, ? A/R?

 

In reference to the first reply... which would give the most power on pump? Most power on e85? I think spool would be fairly close between the two.

 

FP black on pump and e85

 

My guess is the black would make better power on both pump and E85 as it does on the 8/9 always..

I would probably say black...but personally without seeing any gtx30r's on the X yet...I couldn't say for sure. I would think it would be a great turbo with a broad power band...but I still think the black would make more power.

 

uhh.... I will disagree w/ everyone on here as I think they're missing the all important X in that turbo name. A gtx3076 flows hella more than a gt3076, so those comparisons are void and useless. Just look at this map! A gtx3076 flows a real 65 lb/min, which is what the black claims to flow. And its BB. It should spool faster.



For $, a black will be cheaper. For spool/power, the GTX should win.
I'd still say go with a black, but the gtx should make more power.

 

That's what I've been thinking! Granted I'm not a turbo guru, that's why I've asked. But I thing the gtx 3076r should be a good turbo. Hmmmm

 

How much is a gtx3076r? The blacks are already $2k, lol, are they really more money? I mean overall it would be more because you would need to buy a whole kit to run it.
