i was just wondering wat kind of mods i would need to have to run this turbo the right way ??

 

a shop that knows how to install the FP red into an evo 8 with the evo 9 turbo install kit. And 1 hell of a badass tuner.

Thats all you need.

 

really no mods to support it ? do u know how much psi and stuff i would be able to run if i were to put it on without blowing up my car??

 

You can run it on an otherwise stock car, though its potential will be limited by the lack of supporting players. At the point in time that people are getting around to upgrading their turbo, they already have many of the mods that will help them to get the most out of it (loosing restrictions in the intake track, loosing restrictions in the exhaust system, enhanced fuel delivery).

My recommendation would be to spend some serious time researching the FP Red and FP Green threads to get a better idea of the questions you should be asking of the person who will be doing the work.

 

im looking into this turbo right now too for my evo8 and what i have heard you should have turboback exhaust, fuel pump and some larger injectors too start. everyone also said to maximize its potential...a ported exhaust manifold, and o2 dump will help. and lastly some aftermarket cams and a larger intercooler+pipes and intake. i know that sounds like a lot haha but id say that stuff will help out quite a bit with any turbo upgrade.

 

ahhh thanks alot for the help.. i just got a bunch of stuff for the evo and i just wanted to know if i would be able to run that turbo sooner or later .... curious if i was on the right track to do so

 

I would say turbo-back exhaust, fuel pump, cams, springs/retainers, injectors, mbc, and a tune atleast.

 

dont think about a turbo till you get your supporting mods first and read alot and alot on the forums

 

I woud say this guy has it right. And mabey a intercooler and pipes. But do some more reasearch if this is ur DD u might want to go green instead

 

+2 but I know a handful of people who DD on 35r and even 37r's. FPRed would be fine for DD IMO.

 

the red would be my dd too. how will the stock clutch hold up if im not launching it or beating on my clutch. im sure i will have to get one down the road but is it ok if im only boosting once and a while?

 

505hp/455tq @ 29 psi on E85 mods listed below... You could probably have a very stout setup with half of what I have.

FP Red w/ 18 psi hp actuator
Kelford 272/272 cams
HKS Adjustable cam gears
BC springs, retainers
ARP head studs
Turbo XS FMIC
AMS LICP
HKS UICP
PTE 1200cc Injectors
BR Double Pumper
Evo Power Mods O2 Dump Housing
BR 3” DP
BR 3” test pipe
BR 3” catback
HKS SSQ BOV
Exedy twin cermic HD clutch
AEM EMS
Sparktech Pro coil on plug
Hallman MBC
BR ported/coated exhaust manifold

Non Mods List:

Stock intake manifold
Stock head (no porting)
Stock shortblock
Stock Turbo Air inlet pipe
Stock throttle body

 

You don't think the double pumper and 1200's are a bit much? I was wanting to run 850's with the red. I have pretty much everything you have minus EMS, COP setup, ARP's, and S&R kit.

 

He's running E85. You need additional fuel volume to reach the appropriate A/F with ethanol. You should be OK with the 850's on the Red, but I have seen people on gasoline who needed to go to 1000's for their Red setup.

 

x2 and intercooler and piping...and maybe some meth for fun
