Scott, You and I both know that Robert can do this. Hell Robert could do almost anything... The problem is that FP can't come out with all these turbos at once, nor came they come out with the best turbo first. That would hurt business in the long run. I plan to hold out for a DBB stock appearing turbo in the future. I for one believe that it will happen. I personally believe that a DBB Black would be dope.:D How about a DBB Black on a High compression 2.2 Long Rod or a High Compression 2.4L... Can I hear someone say 600+awhp with stock like spool? {thumbup}
Mikey I would run this turbo on my stock block @37-40psi....but only if I had a built one to throw in just in case. {thumbup} Hmm....2010 should be very interesting. :lol: Thanks for sharing this test DB. I personally expected a 300rpm spool difference so this is definitely quite a shock....in a good way. :) |
nice!

I hope people don't start making "black power" stickers. :p
If only I had the money, I'd be all over one of these right now. |
Ready to send my turbo in for an upgrade when its available

why make a new turbo when the FPred still fail left and right on road racing evos?
I'd like to know what's up with the center section, not MHI...? |

fwiw, moving from a grn to a red on 91 octane was worth ~40 DJ whp for me.
Were there no other changes and did boost remain constant? If boost did not remain constant, why do you think you were able to run more boost with the red? Was it really more efficient (cooler charge air) and does the red really alleviate back pressure issues significantly from a green? |

From page 9:
The EVO8 and 9 do not share the same cartridge. Do NOT bother FP with questions on upgrading from the Green/Red or stock EVO9 to the Black. They've made it quite clear they are NOT upgrading any turbos yet, they are selling new units only for the time being. Tuning on lower octane on a small turbo vs. a larger turbo is a substantial difference in power actually. They do not run closer together as octane drops. The turbine wheel plays an important roll in all this keeping back pressure down and heat. In the case of the red/black the turbine wheel is the same size so it won't play as large an effect with just the compressor wheel being larger/more efficient. There was zero surging on the dyno with the black. Chris can give some input as to whether there has been any on the street, I didn't drive it on the street. |
To clear some things up.
Boost on this car with the black hit 20 psi at 38xx rpm. I pulled up two logs on similar built Red's on 2 liters and both of them hit 20 psi at 36XXrpm. So there is about a 200 rpm in spool difference from what I can see. Pretty minor. |
i cant wait for the FP reds to flood the market and i can snag one for cheap thanks FP
|
On the street it drives nice and smooth with no surge. Almost the same as my Red.

Hey! You stole my idea....well minus the DBB option. :D

Good info...i've always admired these stock looking turbos getting close numbers to the big boyz turbos...really looking forward to the FP black
