hello everyone my fp red is still on the car, but i am thinking of selling it for something with a little bit quicker spool up. it has about 5k miles on it and i am the second owner. the first owner bought it and used it for 1k miles then bought himself something bigger. i rarely punch my car and the turbo seems to be in great condition. i have used the new fp oil line as well so no oil starvation!!! if someone is willing to buy it for $1200 i will take it out as soon as my other turbo comes in and you can pay me once it is removed and i send you as many pictures as you want. the turbo is also ported and comes with the standard fp actuator. i also used a bolt instead of a stud for one of the exhaust manifold to turbo holes for an easier install!

i can also include the oil line for an extra 100.
pm me if you are interested!

thanks, Mike

 

GLWS. Any idea on what turbo you were looking on switching up to? BBK, Green...?

Again, free bump for you and good luck selling it!

 

i think im gonna go with the bbk full....i drive my car mostly around town and stuff so i would like a little more power down low and i am scared to run meth or e85 so i would like the best pump gas turbo i can get! thanks for the bump

 

when are you hitting full boost?

 

i would have to say 4200rpms which isnt bad at all but i just dont need such a large turbo like i thought i would

 

shame, turbo is great. Good luck though

 

sounds like my 20g is for you then comes on like stock hits hard a pulls up top the average green makes 410 to 425 on the dyno i get tuned on my 20g made 420 let me know if you are up for a trade

 

im really looking for the CBRD bbk turbo though, but thanks!

and yeah i love the turbo but i like switching things up all the time

 

ever consider the HTA GREEN??

 

That sucks your getting rid of a sick lil turbo that's capable to run 9's and 10's with no problem..My red spools at 3.800 full maybe you wanna check your car for boost leaks and have jr maybe refresh your tune..

 

yeah but what gear can you get that boost spool in? 4th? 5th?
1st gear in my car with the FP Red sees max boost at about 6000rpm,
2nd gear is about 5000rpm...

alot of people dont post results like that.
they always just talk about max boost when it's being loaded up on the dyno etc.

The FP Red is a physically heavy turbo (internally IMO), so the transient response isn't the best. I'm sure that if the BBK turbo runs smaller comp and turbine wheels, it will boost alot faster, and should have full boost in 2nd gear before 5000rpm!

just my 2c

 

The pull was done in third gear and in 4th it spooled faster cause like u said more load.......It has to do with part combo and the tune!!!!!!!!!!

 

i love the fp red...i just change my mind a lot and im looking at quick spool and definitely the transient response. plus i am looking to stick with pump gas so i feel like the bbk full is the best turbo for me.

pm's replied

 

there is only about 500 rpm between spool in first and forth. you have a problem. 6000rpm in first is no where near normal. 35r boosts faster than that.

 

+1

Thats exactly what i was thinking.
