FP green red black..experiences please

These are on sale for black Friday...wanted some real world experiences! Who's had one? Did you like it? What RPM to hit 20 lbs? Any info you have:) should I buy one
Thanks

Realize this is a pretty dumb post.. got most of my answers doing a search..

Can't edit my own post? Please delete the topic

What did you decide?

Evo3 16g with billet comp wheel...I need the low end/mid range more than max HP..and if I run the piss out of it it'll be a blast also sourced one for 400$ less than the FP's on sale

Got a link?

It's a private sale

Hello Brett.

I bought an Old FP Red (internally Gated) with a 8cm Housing 3 years ago. This Turbo is rated at 65lbs/min. This is probably the best Turbo I ever bought. It has a little Lag but I use ECMLink to control Boost; the thing push Air pretty good.

I see 20 psi by 5000rpm and 62lbs/min and 32psi by 7500rpm.

Go FP or go home!!!

Ghislain, I rememered you had DSM link
I'm sure I'll ask for tuning advice when I get ecmlink for this.
I need to more torque down low to get the boat out of the hole...and want to try and keep the RPM down as much as possible...

I know you got your answer, and made your mind up, but I'll add my 2 cents for whoever comes across this. I had a Green on a stock 6 bolt and it was a great street turbo for a daily driven, commuter AWD DSM. It kept out of unnecessary boost just cruising around, but on meth and 25+ PSI it hit pretty good and nothing ever got in my way short of a couple full on drag cars at the track.

I also had a small turbo DSM (14B lol) and that was a completely different animal. Ready to go at any point in the RPM range, a lot of low-end pickup around anything past 2k rpm, but ran out of steam hard up top. It was a great turbo for around the city.

The turbo you decided on should be a good happy medium between a 14B and a Green get the best of both worlds. I have yet to ride in a properly setup E316G car, I would imagine it's a blast for a street car.

Remind me and I'll take you for a spin in the Talon next Spring/Summer

I am definitely not at the level I would call properly setup but it's definitely a blast, and I am sure I can get it to that level for next summer!!

me too! me too!

I was running mid to high 11's @118-120 MPH all day on my E316g full weight/full street trim. Had to have been the most fun street setup: ~450 WHP with instant boost in any gear.

still new to my small 16g and even at internal wastegate pressure and maxed out 510s on a stock pump rewire so much fun

careful Manny the most fun you'll ever have is right before it burns a hole in the piston

it's going into a boat! putting it into a jet boat i need the outa the hole, not top speed...and i need to pack weight and dont want to be at to high an rpm for to long, just up on step and throttle back, sit around 3500-4500rpm

Id love to see some pics of the boat.

Did you know that Hakcenter... One of the original developers of mmcd and DSMap is tuning a boat with dsmap??

When I scrap my truck I should keep the 6BT and find a boat shell to put it, probably need a monster lower unit though with all that torque lol.

Or you can give it to me for a rat rod!

I had no idea...I'll post a pic up from photo bucket later

6BT is way to heavy for a shallow water boat...when you hit bottom, that extra 500lb will rip the bottom open..some guys are using VW 1.8t

I would think that a diesel motor would be better for a wider stronger torque power band.

Yes they have that advantage for sure..you also need either a huge pump OR more RPM on a smaller pump. 99% of jet boats in NA run Mercury Sportjets 200hp,400lb or v8@ 300hp/300tq,650-800lb... the Sportjets are what most smaller or shallow water boats want because they can drag the boat off the rocks when need be, v8s are to heavy and it's NOT fun....this is where the 4g63 shines...v8 power in sportjet weight

Interesting.. Thats real shallow!

Ever thought about running a Saturn 1.9l from the early 90s.. All aluminum block, stock 9:1 pistons, 8000rpms no prob. Will handle a little boost. And alot more of them aitting around n junk yards. The rock crawler guys used them all the time.

Ya here it would be in lakes if anything, not much for shallow water around here.

In all reality, I'll probably turn it into a backup generator, blackouts are pretty common here and my little 4000w generator gets it done for the most part but having 20+ kw on hand would be nice.

Costco has a Champion 7200/8500peak for 900$ taxes in. Not a great one put big for the $

I want 20kw or more and would love to make a project of it. The engine is worth more than the truck as a whole at this point.

Not to mention diesel for longevity. The last time we lost power was for 6 days.

Is this just so that you can continue welding during a power outage? Or do you have Griswold-style Christmas lights?

If I feel like melting some aluminum at 200 amps, I'll do so when I damn well please

Actually in that last outage, our house was the only one lit up every night for several km haha. I have a generator transfer switch so we had full electrical amenities except for hot water, just not enough generator for that. It was all fun and games until Videotron's network went down after 3 days when their backups ran out of power. Good thing we still had the PS4 and phone tethering haha.
