Default newbie/ FP green

Just a newbie saying hello, im going to be driving a wagon around for the next two weeks while my car gets an overfueling issue out, so i thought i would say hello

by the way are the FP greens popular with subaru's? and what kind of power do you seem to be getting?

cheers
Paul

The FP Green is very popular in the US mate but quite unknown here in the UK.

Scoobymania are the UK distributor for FP turbochargers and if you give Mike a call im sure he can help answer any questions you may have. I personally run an FP green (3"/7cm) on my stock internaled 2ltr STI 7.

I dont know exactly what sort of power its pushing but it feels very strong at 1.8 bar. They have been tested against the likes of the MD321T series turbos by a few mappers and have given similar power (450+/450+) albeit with a slightly laggier spool than the MD series. This slower spool is said to be approx 400rpm by some mappers, but i can say ive been in cars with both turbochargers and they feel almost identical on the road.

Personally i think the FP Green will supprise alot of people if they actually try one, i know im certainly very very impressed by it. Duncan (Dynamix) is running a Green on a built 2.5ltr for the Time Attack series this year. He said he has also had very very good results with it.


Hope that helps a little.

nice one Frayz

im i allowed to say i have an evo

Its just that i have a fp green on mine, brilliant turbo i think, strokered mine to 2.3, its torque central, running at 2.2 peak tailing to 1.8, its reaching full boost at 3250, just wanting to gauge what they were like on a 2.5 subaru

I've heard theyre very popular on the Evos too bud.

Im in the process of building a forged 2.5 and then i will change the exhaust housing to the 8cm version.

Im hoping for a good solid 450+/450+ on my 2.5

Glad you like yours too, get some pics up of your Evo, im a big Evo fan mate, you'll get no neg comments from me

spot on Frayz, just got to work out how you put pics up

I was orginally going to go gt35 but for the price, the fp green is a no brainer for me

mine made 470bhp and 520lb/ft with afew other mods

I think most on the evo forum were a bit weary, but seem to be making postive results on evo's

good luck with your build frayz
