Well,

it's like running the stock IX turbo with 70 more hp Spool, recovery, part throttle response all the same or so close you couldn't tell a difference

 

did you run the same boost levels with the stock ix turbo? sorry if you mentioned it somewhere already.

 

Yes I did within 1 psi or so. No comparison in performance. IX gives up above 6500, red just pulls till rev limit.

 

wow... i think you really hit it with the minimal mods.

i was telling people all you really need are injectors and a fuel pump to run this turbo. way to prove me right!

 

 

awesome vids man, I never got sick of seeing that red glove coming up to wave!

 

Great vid man, love to see the road course video

 

LMAO!!!!

 

not that i wasn't but i am even more sold now.

I is confused though, you say you dont have cams but have S2s listed as mods? And what is and isnt ported.

 

very nice! what suspension are you running?

 

I will clarify first post. The ONLY mods on car right now are Red, fmic, licp, k&n drop in, 3" tbe and injectors pump of course. (aem truboost controller) wideband)

S2's springs retainers O2 housing, exhaust manifold porting is not done yet. waiting on all the parts to get here........ (another story)



Megan Racing track coilovers. so 12k /10k springs?
Perrins RSW (set middle)
275/40/17 A6 hoosiers

3.2 camber front
2.0 camber rear
.04 toe out front
0 toe rear

That should be everything. Oh and special turbo bolts! ( disclaimer: NOT Robert approved )

 

I think one of the biggest observations that guys make when they put the Red on is that the spool up is still there, no big turbo lag really. Even though we are moving away from the dated 60mm TD06SL2 and now running our larger 67mm wheel with new aero, the lag is not appreciably worse. We are starting to recognize the limitations of the TD06SL2 turbine that we have been using in the Green model for the last few years (has it really been that long?). It has been a great turbine, but only once we made the new larger turbine have we been able to see what the old one wasnt doing for us. Of course years ago when we had nothing but the stock 54mm turbine, the 60mm TD06SL2 was a great choice (only choice), I mean it reduced the back pressure some and let the WR evolve into the 420whp Green model and the rest was history after that.

But comparing the older 60mm against our newest 67mm Turbine shows the complete story. Our first hint of this was when we realized that the 67mm turbine could spool up practically as fast as the 60mm one. This shouldnt have been possible, but there it was. This was a clear indicator that the eff of the short stubby little TD06SL2 turbine blades was quite low, lower than anyone realized. It did flow more, but it was no rock start when it came to putting power onto the shaft. Turns out the TD06SL2 was actually a low pressure ratio turbine aero, not made to work best at higher turbine pressure ratios. Now I am wondering what else we will learn about our new larger 67mm turbine. We completed a very extensive study of different size compressor wheels recently, but 80% of that was on the old 60mm TD06SL2 turbine wheel. I kinda think it might be worth it to repeat the whole thing on the 67mm turbine, maybe more surprises await.

But in the meanwhile, Tim and everyone else out there rocking the Red will enjoy the surprisingly fast spool response of the FP Red turbo.

 

how do you like them? do you have any experience with other suspension setups? if so, how do they compare?

 

Hey great numbers. Unfortunately I can't see the vids or any attachments as the only internet access I have is via blackberry. On what dyno was the numbers made, a mustang or dyno jet and what was ur torque figures.

Again great results with little mods, can't wait to get mine

 

Great road racing action, seems like a very cool set of racers that attend as well. Nice lines BTW
