FP green vs FP green xl

[clipto]

Me and my friend was looking on fp site and was wondering whats the difference FP green vs FP green xl? What one would be better to get?

Depending on your set up. I would go with the Green XL, personally. It flows more.

Ya seems that way just confused why on there website that the green makes 540hp would produce more hp then the green xl rating 450-500. But I do see the xl flows 5 more lbs/min. It's just a confusing site is all.

The xl is very nice, a friend had it

Yes fp turbos are "nice", but that description alone certainly does nothing to help the op choose which one is best for him. Just sayin.

Sorry for the rant.

I recently aquired a fp green xl, pretty thrilled to see what it can do. I agree though, the site is kinda weird with descriptions. The fp green xl seems like a better option in terms of whats on paper. We shall see!

just write fp and ask them...

The green is ball bearing and the green xl is journal bearing.

The green is ball bearing and the green xl is journal bearing.

there are actually 3 different variants of the "green" for the DSM platform.

Sup.

Ones rated in HP the other in WHP.

Guess I could just edit it so it's the same.

One second.

Here is why the Green XL exists.

I had a bunch of 3" 76MM covers and a bunch of 65MM turbine wheels.

So it'll spool quicker than a red but slower than a green despite having the same turbine wheel.

It'll flow more than a Green but less than a red, despite having the same compressor wheel.

Sort-of like comparing a TD05H 20G to a TD06H 20G for those who may understand it better. The smaller turbine will spool quicker but will have more turbine backpressure which raises EGT's, something that pump gas and internal wastegates don't really like too much.

If you're wanting to run a high boost level or make any amount of power on pump gas, go for the XL.

IF you dont mind me asking Robert, What mm is the fp red turbine wheel?

So what happens when you get an 84mm cover on the Green XL, does the green XL become a Red?

 

[boostin90gs]

Reading on fp website looks like green XL and red share same compressor wheel, just the xl has smaller turbine wheel.

Great info that is exactly what I was looking for specs on each turbo.

The 84mm is the compressor side inlet, where you hook your intake pipe up to. The 76mm that Michael referred to is the compressor wheel profile on the inside of the compressor cover. 76HTA is our "RED" compressor wheel but the GREEN XL is mated to the smaller 65mm turbine wheel from our regular GREEN model turbochargers, thus making it not quite a RED, but something in between the GREEN and RED standard configurations.

IF you dont mind me asking Robert, What mm is the fp red turbine wheel?

The RED uses our 67mm turbine wheel.

Thanks for the info Amber. It should be really interesting to see what my "hybrid" Green XL does when I turn up the wick. I should have the car on the road this coming weekend. As I tune and start tapping some potential I'll report back with spool characteristics, airflow and eventually HP/TQ numbers.
