Awesome, any chance it will be here by saturday? :D

Re: FP's NEW 18G-6SL2 Turbo
 

Negative. Ask GoatBlower on that one. :biggrin:
Just kiddin', Steve's got my little stocker rebuild 6bolt.

I still have a few things to get on it and I'm hoping for mid 300whp's.
I don't know what to expect on it though. Guess I'm trying e85 out of 850's w/DSMLink on the 18G/FMIC.

I'll for sure bring it down to the TC area and get it Dyno'd when its together.

Re: FP's NEW 18G-6SL2 Turbo
 

tell us how it is when you get it installed dude! im also plannning to get this turbo next year with some 272's!

Re: FP's NEW 18G-6SL2 Turbo
 

It's mounted on my FP Race Manifold right now, looks pretty decent. Maybe I'll get some pics up soon here.

I am hoping to get some cams to run with it as well, probably some FP2's for the sake of not being a total parts-whore. I like to keep with one manufacturer and FP seems to do some pretty damn nice work! (And yes, I know about the comp cams/FP cams. ;)

Right now I'm just waiting on my short block to get here and a few other things, like FMIC, Fuel Lab AFPR, and then I need to bring it down to a shop and have them resurface the head for the Cometic, etc... and get it dyno-tuned.

As for the looks of the turbo, it isn't that much, if at all, bigger than my 14b..

I don't know if I'm going to regret going with this turbo or not. I figured I'd start small and learn to tune w/ dsmlink and move up to a 50trim+.

Re: FP's NEW 18G-6SL2 Turbo
 

when you do decide to move up, I would suggest bypassing the 50 trim all together since you would be doing yourself a favor and saving money by purchasing the spender, larger turbo at the time of the 50

Re: FP's NEW 18G-6SL2 Turbo
 

^Yeah. I am not sure on which I would go with. That's next fall's project. I want to stick with e85, so that's already money for 1600's, fuel pump/s, etc...

And a built block...

I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of Ball Bearing and bigger than my head.

Re: FP's NEW 18G-6SL2 Turbo
 

j/w if you got any pics up yet of the 18g. :) :) :)

Re: FP's NEW 18G-6SL2 Turbo
 

Pics coming soon.

Re: FP's NEW 18G-6SL2 Turbo
 

Brownman going back to an OEM turbo?! Awesome man! Any chance for some cams in the mix as well?

Re: FP's NEW 18G-6SL2 Turbo
 

Bad news, apparantly they dont take AMEX, so i will probably just sit tight on this turbo.
I have 272s on the way.
If i ever have problems with this turbo i will not be holding my breath to go to a 20G or 18g mitsu turbo.
I wish there was a advance to career card in life like the advance to go card in monopoly.

There is, it's a book called the Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. Buy it, or listen to his podcast.
