Anyone running a FP Green?

[696]

Just wondering. I looked at there site last night and they say it's a "streetable" turbo. Think about getting one, I liked the power they were showing.
696

most of the people around here locally live by FP they wont put any other turbo on their car, i know 3 people that have Greens, and some others have the smaller FP turbos... FP is definatly a well built, turbo and is well worth the money....

I myself am building my 1990 Talon up to support a Green...

 

[doug]

Dude, did you do ANY searching AT ALL?

Green

BTW, also consider the new AGP turbos-- they're supposed to be sweet.

 

[Rez90]

I just took off my Super 16G and installed a green two days ago. the turbo isn't tuned and it's pretty rediculous. at 14.75 pounds it pulls way harder then my s16g ever did at 20lbs

 

[larryd]

yeah the green is sposed to be a hell of a turbo.. if AGP didnt come out with their new turbos Id be running a green

 

[90tsi]

I'm going with the Red w/7cm after my motor is finished.
The green is definately a good street turbo, I've heard no complaints what so ever.

 

[GSX4LIFE]

The Green is a great turbo. That was also my turbo of choice, until the AGPs came out. The L2R is the hands down winner. But the Green is deffinately no dog. And you can probly come across a good deal on a Green.

 

[4ged4G63]

The L2R is the hands down winner.

as far as what? If you never ran the green then how would you know that the L2R is "the winner"?


I detect some benchracing here

 

[GSX4LIFE]

Look im not gonna get into a flame war. Im going by the compressor and turbine wheels. The L2R compressor wheel is 54lb. per min. The Green is I think 49lb per min. The L2Rs turbine wheel is a GT30(10 blade.) You know what that means. Probly not. Im going by flow #s here. Or maybe AGP is lying. Is that what your insinuating? Dont post when you have no idea what your talking about. Oh perhaps a 16G is much better than a 20G? Yeah. Benchracer :laugh: Thats exactly what I am.:laugh:

 

[TRBOTSI]

Not to be a dick but I just love all the people who jumped on the agp bandwagon. And now everybody is saying the L2R puts the Green to shame. I'm not knocking the AGP turbos, but until I see some numbers that are even close to what Greens have put down, I think everybody should STFU about the AGP turbos being a better turbo.

 

[GSX4LIFE]

HAHAHAHA:laugh: !!! Youll be one of the guys buying one pretty soon. Ive already run into a few people like you. And thier all going with AGPs now. HAHAHA! Some of you are such SHEEP.:laugh:

 

[GSX4LIFE]

Oh. And for those that want to start flame wars, Go back to DSMTALK!!! That crap doesnt fly here. I came to this site BECAUSE I found out that people arent FLAME WHORES here. But there are always some from the other site. LEAVE THE NONSENSE WHERE IT BELONGS! NOT HERE!

 

[TRBOTSI]

Oh you're the guy who paid Extreme Motorsports $7500 to rebuild your engine and then have it crankwalk 700 miles later...... Looks like you enjoy throwing your money away...enough said!!!

 

[GSX4LIFE]

OH, your the guy who keeps trying to flame me. Enough said. I wont respond to these childish statements anymore. If you feel you eed to get the last word in. Then go ahead. Its cool. GOODBY!

HAHAHAHHAAHHA, you #@%#@%#@%#@%#@%

You know what that means. Probly not.

Yup, you caught me Hey I can read information on the net just as easy as you can.

No, I am not insinuating that AGP is lying. But as of yet they don't have solid numbers that have bested the Green. Is this bad, no as they are pretty much a 4 month old company. But when you say "the winner", "hands down" based on some #@%#@%#@% information to back up your #@%#@%#@% statement then you look...well, you know.

Oh perhaps a 16G is much better than a 20G? Yeah

In what terms? You are a tool. Both have their pros and cons. If I were you (which thankfully I am not) then I would shut my mouth asafp cause you are coming accross as just another tool who thinks hes the #@%#@%#@%#@% cause he has X amount of parts from X company, but then you go on to complete your "profile" without including a 1/4 mile time.

I came to this site BECAUSE I found out that people arent FLAME WHORES here.

What do you expect when you say stupid #@%#@%#@%#@%?

LEAVE THE NONSENSE WHERE IT BELONGS!

Then please go back to DSMtalk and post there.

For the record, everyone can I see a show of hands(posts) fi you think that this statement was stupid?

The L2R is the hands down winner.

Again, as far as what?

 

[mlopez]

yeah that was pretty stupid.

Its like saying that the Bridgestone SO3's are the winner hands down over the Michelin Piolets in a road test when the Piolets have been out longer. But better, or "the winner" "hands down" in what terms. Everyone has differnt needs.

One person may want better wet traction another person may want better cornering and one guy might want more dry grip. It varies, thats all I'm sayin

 

[Black95GSX]

Ok Children......

I happen to know someone who switched from a FP green to a L2R....... He said he noticed less lag and some more top end over the green. Unfortunately due to other "issues" with the car, he never got to do a full pass with the L2R -- and now he has switched to the L3R in hopes of low 11's or high 10's with ease.


Do I trust hype? No... If I did I would of bought a Mutt a long time ago, but instead I let them prove that there turbos sucked.

Do I have an AGP Bolt on Garrett turbo? No... although I was one of there first customers, I purchased my turbo prior to there bolt on line of turbos.


Yes, Time will tell which turbo is better -- but keep in mind that everyone's setup is different. Furthermore the FP Green and Red serries have been out for over a year now, and have had enough time for the users to "learn" them and dial in there car's accordingly.

Anyone here who knows Sean Ivy's 1g -- knows that his L3R dynoed at over 450hp to the wheels with major tuning problems -- the car was NOT dialed in for crap. -- and he didn't use the bottle.

yes I do understand what your saying but do you understand why people say the L2R is the better turbo?? its a bigger turbo with a more efficient wheel that flows more then the Green so is it going to be better.. well it should be according to the stats alone.. its like comparing a 16G to a 20G and asking which turbo would be better?

 

[BatmanGSX]

How about this: "the L2R is bigger"

Everyone happy?

yeah, thats better

 

[GSX4LIFE]

That works for me. The L2R is bigger. But you still ahve to add "Capable of flowing more to a higher RPM, and at a greater efficiency level."
I appologize to anyone I may have offended.
