But its not a cd/ce9a...

 

[DVSKIWI]

Yes early EVO Lover right here!!!

 

[Missile]

lol, i've never driven a late model evo, are they that bad? haha

Not bad at all, just very different.
Active diffs, ecu's controlling ecu's. You can drive and turn the wheel, and all of the witchery will talk to all components of the car to make sure the car turns without losing traction.

These comments are generally made on the aesthetics.

so the little black evo/gsr now has a new home & will be getting built up for drags & some circuit duties

it has been down to racetorque and came back with a clean bill of health with even compression on all cylinders, so now its time for a turbo upgrade, it already has a metal head gasket & head studs & was tuned for 1.6 bar on the td05

i've heard good things about the forced performance turbo's, anyone got any experience with these?

my mate wants to retain the original dump & interccoler piping & keeping it internally gated

any suggestions for a turbo that will give it approx 250kw atw?

 

[Missile]

FP turbos are good. Their biggest advantage is they make direct bolt turbos e.g. will fit up to the OEM manifold.
Downfall is their price. Poor Aussie dollar and shipping is usually a killer.

 

[evo-gsr]

100% correct there ↑

if your going to get an FP turbo the HTA are the go......plenty make good numbers with those.

[evo-gsr]

I have also heard good things about the green, red and black turbos that they now offer for our cars too....stock fitment with plenty of punch....and on special at the moment right now.
shipping is the killer but as Tim mentions.

 

[EV0300]

should do a group buy of turbos + manifolds

 

[evo-gsr]

They will still charge you top dollar.

Send them an email and see what they can do for you. I just ordered a new turbo off them didn't have to pay for freight and still knocked the price down

 

[4piknup]

Ship it to matesfreight in oregon and get him to post it on.
Get some cts-v calipers into the box as well.

Calculate shipping on the shipitto site. As a idea.

 

[evo-gsr]

Standard 2 litre engine?

Hello lag !!

 

[evo-gsr]

And then be buying another turbo shortly after...as anti lag is known to damage turbos eventually..

 

[4piknup]

You could 1/2 that shipping. I paying $90 for 15lb in about a 15" square box.

 

[4piknup]

Standard 2 litre engine?

Hello lag !!

Dont they love the fp blacks on the evo9.

 

[4piknup]

okay so we've priced up an FP black with manifold, ticked all the extra's like porting & hi temp coating, fitting kit, oil line etc, came in at $1900 delivered, may not worry about the ht-coating, saves $200, not a bad price i thought, shipping cost is $240

You will pay gst on that unless you ship them seperated into less than $1k packages.

 

[evo-gsr]

yeah after a bit of research i've convinced him to go with the fp green, should be plenty

much better idea on a standard 2l...might need e85 to get a nice fat midrange.

 

[evo-gsr]

Dont they love the fp blacks on the evo9.

usually built engines with cams etc and mivec.

no good for a stock 2l
