Thanks to Akuma Motorsports! FP Red Evo X!!
Whats up everyone? I recently had the chance to be able to put the FP red on my car. First I wanted to thanks Akuma Motorsports located in central Jersey. What I can say is this turbo is go big or go home. This turbo just loves boost, but for a stock block Evo X boosting anything over 25psi on pump was just not safe. Mind you I daily drive the car. We finally got her dialed in last night and I already got the mod bug to do the meth kit to run more boost lol. Even with the red I put down 340 awhp/290 awtq on their low reading mustang dyno , which I wasn't completely satisfied with the numbers. But I have a friend that had a red also make the same power and he ended up running a 11.9@116mph with a 1.9 60ft. . But if thats not enough proof of their low reading dyno, a bone stock GT-R put down only 380 awhp. As many people said before numbers aren't everything, boy were they right. I took the car out for a spin and this thing just pulled all the way to redline. Also the car is butter smooth from down low all the way to redline. I actually don't mind the turbo spooling a little later so my dump doesn't have to open at low rpms. My mods list and dyno graph is below so enjoy!
Mods:
Stock Block
Stock Clutch
Stock Cams
Cobb Accessport with Akuma Motorsports custom tune
Forced Performance Red
Deatschwerks 1000cc injectors

Agency Power BOV
Agency Power intercooler

Looking good! I feel ya when it comes to the dyno, our local DD is the same way. The power level you're at is about as much as the stock clutch can handle (mine has slipped once) so that meth kit might cost more than you think.

Those are some nice numbers...I hate to be the party pooper here, but if a gt-r only put down 380 whp, then im the tooth fairy....CBRD's put down like 412 or 417 stock something like that...Theres no way that dyno reads 30+ lower than CBRD's

For having the minimal mods to support the red, its not too bad. I wanted a bit more mid end power. If I get tubular equal length manifold, cams, and aquamist meth kit. I'll be purchasing those from Akuma Motorsports, and again for those of you have any needs for your evo give them a call!

I think you are wrong with the 25psi on stock block. It can take it. The FP red I heard starts its power above 25 psi. I bet if you put cams in and left turbo stock, with same mods you would get more power. You've got the turbo but don't use its power.

The stock turbo falls on its face up top which was something I hated about the stock turbo. I agree with you, this turbo loves boost and I would be able to squeeze out more power if I upt the boost. But my thing is I only have the bare minimal mods to be able to support this turbo. One I have a equal length tubular manifold to help spool and power, cams, and meth I'll be seaking for more boost. But all in all I'm happy with the gains I've seen and the tuning/drivability is top notch.

It isn't the block, it is the fuel. You can't run much more than 25psi using pump gas. I ran that on 93oct and went to 29psi on E85.
Cams only add 10-15hp whereas a larger turbo adds much more than that. Cams aren't a bad investment as the last piece of your puzzle. They improve torque across the curve and uprated springs/retainers can allow you to rev out the motor. If you have to choose, though, a turbo is much better bang for the buck.
Take a look at my stock turbo graph (in my sig) compared to his Red graph. His hp keeps climbing and mine heads down after 6500rpm, even though we have similar peak numbers. I could get another 10hp with cams but the curve would have the same shape.
