urfsin Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Ok, for real. Is this FP green some sort of freak of nature or are all FP green's like this. (with the same mods that is) Because if they are, why would you ever go with another turbo? I know that I am a quick spool freak, but I would strap this turbo on any day of the week.

MiniStiGuy Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 fp greens cost more so the other turbo's are cheaper. OEM HID's Rx330 Retro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyan Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Dave, that was the green on the 06 WRX that was there on saturday... it is a killlller setup! Greens aren't that much in the grand scheme of things... ~1400. EWG and supporting stuff costs $$$$ tho SoCal Duck Hunters Club - Unit 52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urfsin Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I guess what I am asking is this turbo the "norm" for FP greens? or is this some sort of magical set up to get the quick spool and nice top end. Slide It Sideways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostjunkie Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 Nothing magical at all. A strong car with a well chosen set of mods and a solid tune. Of course the alky helps a lot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowBound BP5 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 He already has those goodies and the FMIC is basically a must especially with an LGT setup. So nobody has done a Green / TD06-20g swap with a top mount with good result? What's the biggest / best turbo upgrade you can run efficiently w/o having to go front mount?

SnowBound BP5 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 "the FPGreen is fitted with FP's proprietary severe duty bearing system which increases surface area to deal with the loads of high boost pressure found in racing applications. No other vendor can offer this thrust bearing system" Is that a fancy way to say it's not ball-bearing type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HB Speed Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Yes, its a fancy way to say that its not ball bearing. I think the FP greens now are oil and water cooled. But the one I'm running is only oil cooled. Its an older version. Really It was a lot of research of supporting mods to get these numbers. Having realistic goals and knowing who needed to tune it. Thanks for the interest guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyan Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 i don't think a TMIC + Green is a good combo.... and in Cali, a 20G + TMIC needs meth as well. If you're sticking TMIC, 40BB or 18G Mike SoCal Duck Hunters Club - Unit 52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous1 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 The 40BB is IHMO is the best TMIC(no meth) compatable turbo available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowBound BP5 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 pardon the ignorance, but I don't believe I've heard of "40BB" yet. Who's the manufacturer and what are the specs? I'd probably pick up the alcohol injection option if I were to go w/ an aftermarket turbo. I'd just rather keep the top mount set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably pick up the alcohol injection option if I were to go w/ an aftermarket turbo. I'd just rather keep the top mount set up. the 40BB is a turbo that Blouch makes for TDC. It has a VF22 (ball bearing) center section and an 18g compressor wheel in a VF40 cover. It's a bolt on turbo. Not a big boost of stock, maybe 20-30 whp, but it spools pretty dang close to stock. It will also work fine with a TMIC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowBound BP5 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Thanks for the explanation Paul. So basically the 40BB Blouch by TDC looks identical to our stocker on the outside eh? That'd be a nice stealthy setup for sure! Is a TD06-20g going to generate that much more heat than a 18g that nobody would recommend staying with the top mount setup?

Just a bit more WHP than that, there have been a couple members who have seen over 320whp on the 40BB turbo with full list of supporting mods.

mikeyan Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Will, 20g+ meth would be very nice.... 18G without meth would be pretty good too on a TMIC. Mike SoCal Duck Hunters Club - Unit 52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they have on a generous dyno and 93 octane. They won't see that much on 91 octane. On 91 octane about 300-310 whp it what I would expect to see since that is what most 18g's end up with. The stock turbo with just about all the bolt-ons available is good for about 275-280whp on 91 octane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
