Hi, I need some opinions on wich turbo would be the best for my set-up, I have a IX with Intake, 3" TBE, HKS 272, IC piping and walbro pump @ 22.5 PSI on 91 oct

I want to drop my 1/4 mile times, Best ET is 11.9 and best MPH is 115

FP Black or Red ?

FP Green

You should include what your ET goal is. Also what else are you going to do with your car. If you just want to go faster switch to E85.

I'm a big fan of my fp red. I have it set at 26 psi on 93 and she pulls very well and its not too laggy. I do however see most people going with the green or the black though. Like the previous guy said it depends on your goals.

Forget about E85 we the highest grade we have here is 91... I would like to trap 120 MPH and run 11.5 steady, it would be for a daily drive car

I daily drive mine and am getting 19/23 mpg. I haven't run the 1/4 with it yet though. I think with a good tune and good driver of course you could achieve your goals.

The red will hit your goals with the driver mod....even an fp green will hit those as well.

I think either will be fine. You are going to be more limited by your fuel than anything else.

FWIW, here is my car with an FP Red
IX
Stock cams
3" exhaust

93 octane - limited to 26 psi


E85 - 33 psi

if you cant use race gas, meth or e85 I would stick with the red. The green is better with the 91 fuel.

use meth, safer for the motor. and there is no "can't use meth rule" when you have cams and full exhaust.

with 91 gas and a stock bottom end motor your better off with the green or possibly the red with a good tune. for 91 i stick with the green and work on your 60ft times and driver mod. be a super fun DD esp with the new DBB center.

if you plan on building your motor, doing meth, or getting other fuel for racing, just go with a black and be done. IMO, if your going to do red, might as well do black.

I love my FP Red! You're not giving up nearly as much RPM's in spool that you would with the Black. My car is stock block and made 428whp on 91oct and 535whp on e85

Wtf are you talking about? Cams and exhaust have absolutely nothing to do with the problems meth causes. If you are using a single nozzle for meth injection the chances of insufficient meth reaching a cylinder are pretty high which causes catastrophic engine failures. Just say no to meth, kids.

I'd say if your not going Green go Black. It has basically same spool as Red with a lot more power potential

For me I would try to pick the smallest possible turbo to reach your goals. That is why I suggested the FP Green. The problem with making power is that most of the time you end up wanting more.

For me having a big turbo and dealing with the lag is just not very fun on a street car. For me the choice would be between the Green and the Red, I would never even consider the Black.
