Anyone want to make a newbie make some good power?

I wouldn't worry about the Walbro if you're only going to have a green. If anything just do the high pressure mod to it. Pretty sure Kody should know how. I know 1000's were plenty on Bryce's green + 35psi, Maybe just get some FIC 1150/1250's to be on the safe side?

You honestly do not need the head gasket and studs, but if you really want to spend the money, I would go with a stock headgasket and L19's of some sort.

Thanks Mr. Goodhart! That's pretty much exactly what i was thinking. Do the fuel pump mod and if i run out of pump have Shane throw one in on the dyno, I'm hoping he has one in stock. Last time we tuned, Shane said my wally may be a knock off and that one of the seal rings or something was missing, so may just get the pump to be on the safe side. Same with the studs and gasket, may just do it to be safe. Is FIC the best brand, and could i go bigger injectors on a low duty cycle safely, with room to grow in mind?

How about the 02 housing and screamer pipe? Which ones have the best gains/sound/fitment??

Thanks, yet again!

[goodhart]

Megan O2 housings are nice quality and dirt cheap. Lots of people run them without issues. Plus you won't get the nasty sound of an O2 dump on a small turbo

Ok ya I've seen a lot of setups with them, that was my first guess on a good choice.

Would you not suggest doing the 02 eliminator screamer pipe with the FP Green?? And if so, how come?

[Murlo26]

O2 elim downpipe with atmosphere dump is good for more power on almost any setup regardless of what people say.

It's just whether or not you want to deal with the noise. if you don't mind a loud car get it, if you do get a nice divorced setup, like MAP's.

Thanks for the input Murlo!! When I talked to Kody today he asked if I had talked to you, so thanks for your input! Don't think I met ya at the Style opener at DB?

And yes I heard the open dump/divorced wg are good for keeping the shuttering and between gear boost drops low and make power as well. And as for it being loud as hell?? Well I'll admit the main reason I'm getting it is cuz it screams, call me a ricer I guess ;)

Here is my confusion: I've heard them called wastegate dumps, divorced waste gate down pipes, screamer pipes, 02 eliminator down pipes, what's the difference?? Or are they all the same thing with different names?? And how will it work with the green, what kind of waste gate comes on it and what psi spring should i select when ordering the turbo??

480 to 500.. Must be maps dyno and not shanes..

Yeah man, you need some form of a built motor to be safely in that ballpark, on db or rs motors dyno's. On Maps dynojet that is doable

[GGcloudIX]

Ya sorry, thought I clarified, 500 corrected, roughly 425 on DB..... I am going with someting similar to Bryce's old setup on his red 9.

What do you guys suggest, for that power goal, good use on the street, and plenty of room to grow: FP 73HTA Green or a used journal bearing Red? Presuming the red is in good condition.

[evotuner]

Probably the green, thats gunna get you to 425 no problem and give you good torque. Take a peak at MAP's turbos too, They have 3 stock frame turbos (EF2,EF3,EF4) The EF2 is about on par with the Green. EF3 gives a little more than the Red and littles less the Black and of course the EF4 is a bit much lol.

Well guys part of the setup is on the way! ACT 6 puck clutch with HD pressure plate, 60k maintenance, and Maperformance external 02 housing dump ordered and on the way! FIC 1250cc injectors are on the way to DB. Just waiting on Josh (bramagedained) to get back to me on his fmic and FP Red! Woo hoo very excited!

Thanks for all the advice along the way everyone!!
