As the title says. Is this turbo any good and does it make the power its rated to? what would spool be like on a 2 litre forged classic engine?

any info would be great

If you want 450 then go for a MD321T. It surely will make it & spool up will be good enough on the 2.0l.

 

Agree. Was going to go down the FP Green route myself but instead am going for a 321T. Supposed to be less laggy on a 2 litre and more likely to make the figures.

321T for sale in the general section, brand new for £1100. Bargain

I run the FP green on my bugeye STi running 416 bhp I run a FMIC so maybe it is a bit laggy. I don't notice as I fitted the FMIC not long after getting the car and a few years before fitting the FP green. I find it nice to drive on and off boost. Mine kicks in around the 3 to 3.5k rpm then pulls all through the range.
My choice of getting the FP green was from advice from my mapper and a few other people. When I replaced my exhaust and got it re-mapped the only thing holding me back was the engine was on 97K with standard internals. Once I get forged internals and possibly bigger injectors or run a duel injector setup, then I will be onto 500bhp.
Any turbo will get people for or people against them, speak to who ever is going to map your car and take their advice.
You show Scoobymania (AKA Area51), on this forum you will read comments good and bad about them. Each time I dealt with them I had no problems or if there were they were sorted there and then. I only used them as a parts shop not to get work done.

 

Thanks for the info, the md series are always highly rated on forums

This is 2 videos i found of a fp green on a sti 5 type R. Does it seem slow in the rev range to climb or am i wrong is that lag? in the 2nd video.

Is the speedo clock stopped or have they a gauge?

Don't forget to consider the SC46 too...

 

or s206

 

So many choices. Can anyone tell me how quick a 2 litre or 2.1 reaches full boost with the sc46?

 

I had a sc46 on my 2.1 with v4 sti heads spool up in 1st through 3rd was around 3900rpm to 1.8bar 4th through 6th around 3600rpm to 1.8bar also with the help of a Harvey up pipe.

 

Of course. But not a strict direct bolt on

 

Was that the new billet sc46 turbo or the older one? Thats good spool up

 

Im using a 321T on my litre and its a good job. My mapper wasnt too keen on the FP green i also had a mate who had one on a WR1 and it didnt stay on long.

Racedynamix use to run one on his TA car but you dont hear to many folk running them.

 

Whats your opinions on this turbo too?

TD06 exhaust housing/turbine considered too laggy on a 2.0L.

If you wanted a 20g, then a harvey or Andy Forrest TD05 20g is what you want...

 

The FP Green is a good turbo and you can get it with a 7cm housing for a 2 litre setup or an 8cm housing for a 2.5. I have been involved with one in the last few days that did 430 odd bhp, probably with more to come and it was certainly fit on a 2.5.
Unfortunately my past experience of dealing with or trying to deal with Forced Performance has been such that I don't want anything to do with Forced Performance turbos despite the fact that the turbos themselves do what they say on the label. If it breaks or needs overhaul, spares could be a major problem.

 

Thanks everyone for the help, I think i will go for the sc46

 

True, but the small amount of work reqd to fit it is well worth the effort.
450hp is a breeze and the on road repsonse is excellent, just ask a few of the owners for their own take on it.

 

Oh, I wasn't 'dissing' it because of the fitment, etc. - just highlighting that fact in case the OP wasn't aware, that's all...

 

Best thing the OP can do is pick up a copy of the latest Redline Magazine, the S206 has an 8 page feature in there and will give him any info he needs.

 

thats was with the older ones

if anyone is considering fitting one i would say you have to get one of harvey's up pipes because the difference they make to spool is amazing, in my opinion it's a great addition for those running non vvt heads

 

Killed 3 of them in 6 months

Why handicap your car by running a substandard turbo like that when you can run the real deal with a 321T for a few quid extra?

Waste of money IMO.

MD321T is the one that always delivers the results This is speaking from experience of mapping lots of people's cars with T's on - they never disappoint.

 

My experience too Harvey. Virtually throw them away when they break cos FP in the US dont want to know and Area 52 do not have the ability/facilities to rebuild them properly.

 

My experience was that the turbos, both Green and Red performed well. No issues with power output or spool but in plain languge, Forced Performance as a company are a shower of ******* and if you are unfortunate and some sort of repairis or parts are required you are stuffed.
This is not just my experience but that of other users such as Paul Armin/Iddy and others.

 

Say it as it is Harvey

 

You'll get splinters from sitting on that fence Harvey
