going with the FP Green turbo

[95TSi_AWD_717]

my friend is selling me his fp green turbo for 400 bucks, i've read up on em seen nothing but great reviews and how much they cost brand new so i feel pretty lucky. i hoping to get this injector issue done this weekend so i can have the turbo in by next weekend. has anyone seen anything bad about them? and if anyone who has used or use the turbo how is ya'll results?

 

[95TSi_AWD_717]

ok i see that but then look at the fp green dsm turbo that i posted under that bullseye it looks diff that one but is on many trusted fp sites

 

[little-razcal]

ok as i said look up on google for force perfomance green turbo dsm. that's the one they made for the dsm, then if you go on the site, they have a new model one, if mine isnt it isnt it's whatever, i'm just doin the research, and from what i've gathered it's not a bullseye, they took it off his old girls car, in which the manifold is fp, the intake i have is fp, and the turbo has fp on it so did the research and saw the fp green dsm and that's what i came to believe, like i said when im done with school and i get this job i'm sellin the car, and i'm going to get the new nissan gtr took a look at one and liked it except not into the paddle shift thing but it's o well

my boy wolfe deff knows what he's talkin about he's been doin his awd spyder on his own, works on all of our cars and always fixes them as he helping me out with my injector issue in mine right now and i can actually say his girl most likely knows more about dsms than anyone on this site, i came here for help with stuff, and im not taking what ya'll said and throwin it out, i'm still goin to do more research, but like i said i've done the research from what i've seen on the internet from many other pics and threads i came up with the probabilty that it's not a bullseye, but i could be wrong, it could be an fp it couldnt be i have people telling me it's not i have people telling me it is, so be in my position right now with all this mass confusion, instead ya'll like to bash

Please , just stop. Your post is one huge sentence. Go get your GTR and leave the threads for people that actually need them.

schools already paid for i know how to shoot guns and kill people, hinse im going into the dea spec ops team that does the poppy control in afghan it will be home for me, this is a hobby for me i was into the dsm thing early high school, thought i'd get into em again since im getting money and there's always something wrong with these cars so your always spending money on it but they're fun, it's not life people need to chill

i was cool with everyone i was informed it was a fp green so i posted it on here found out it wasnt people started bashin, i'm sure there's many here like me if someone starts bashin on you, you bash back

 

[kidtsi]

Nobody is bashing , we are just trying to help, if you knew that it not an FP green then accept it if not your gonna get bash for posting miss information in the forum.

I have a to4b v trim on my gst right now and it looks just like the one in the OPs picture with the polished compressor housing. Everyone is just saying it is a bad deal for 400. I bought it from slowboy on sale a few years ago for like 550 or something and luckly havent had any problems. I've seen alot of post where people have broken exhaust wheels or had leaks at the compressor housing, both problem occuring with low miles. You asked for input and you have alot of people telling you the same thing.

 

[95TSi_AWD_717]

im not saying it is or it isnt till i get it in hand, then i can look at it better and show ya'll better pics, except with 3 blades showin and judgin off something that can barely be seen, im still gettin the turbo eithr way 450 is still a good deal for the "unknown" turbo the fp manifold and fp intake, and if you ask why he sellin that turbo cheap my friend who i'm getting it from got it out of the gsx he bought his girl and put his old one in hers which has a faster spool and he did a motor build on his and putting a bigger turbo on there, so he's just getting rid of it, any turbo can blow surge leak, doesnt matter who it's made by, as informed from one of my friends who said they dont know what there talkin about, they just put the turbo on and hook up the oil line with out using an oil regulator for the right amount of oil that goes into, and people have messed up, blown, or bov that arent meant to handle that turbo, it can last me a day months years who knows, if it blows then ay that's my luck, i'll just get another turbo, just like i bout my car drove it for about a month all the injectors decide to go out to find out there's a bad wire somewhere, shit happends with anything

 

[kidtsi]

We can barely see it but i can see the bolts that are on the BEP housing, FP Green used a clamp in there and they didn't use a BEP housing. The center section have and type of flange similar to the drain in the oil feed which FP Green didnt came with, the compressor housing looks like a PTE or BEP turbo or similar, oh and about your friend know more about DSM than anyone in this forum i think Shep got some competition, whach out Magnus Motorsports you too. (sarcasm)

Hope you mark as helpful the link i provided because you can clearly see all the components on the FP green, nah seriously i don't care if you mark it helpful or not.

 

[95TSi_AWD_717]

it is helpful, and i didnt say anything about shepherd or magnus, i said more than most people on this site, i've posted problems about my car people told me what i should do tried them it failed called up my boy he comes out it's fixed within 5 min, just like my injector thing, people would post stuff up sayin try this tho in the posts its already been tried, some people stuf has been helpful, just sayin is all, i dont really care what the turbo is its big ran good in my friends girl car, so now im getting it, if it takes a shit on me it takes a shit like i said i'll just buy another turbo, this is my hobby for me since i cant surf in pa, and i hate the snow and cold here, it keeps me busy, i hate sitting around

 

[kidtsi]

Shep have an account also magnus they don't count as people? Anyways your friend fixed you previous problems faster because we are not there, you just provide us info on whats going on, it could be your fault for not telling us exactly what are the symptoms on your car and that why people in here are just unable to help you.
People that really know a lot in here are not helping any Noob these days because of responses like the one you made, also if people trying to help you give you links of what you already saw is not their fault you never said you saw it already, so it is your fault.

 

[95TSi_AWD_717]

look at one of my post possible/motor sensor trouble and see if you can answer the last post i had in there, no one has yet to answer that one, and again i said most people most doesnt mean all, that would be dumb for me to say ### there are some people on here that know a lot on these cars, but i can say that there is probably a lot of people on here who can do an awd conversion on a spyder and piece the car back together part by part including with a stripped motor and piece that back together without having to look it up or look in a book, but what i meant by the post thing is that someone will post something on us to try, then some posts later, someone will post the same thing as it's been posted, that would not be my fault if someone wants to help with out reading the previous posts to see if it has been posted

im not a dick or anything far from it, if someones going to talk about which there are a few posts in here, i back my self up, as in the one guy saying go to school my grammer is bad, it's a computer, i can see on the before you reply thing to use proper grammer and all that, but when your typing fast and wanting to get it posted, you just type, if i wanted to use proper grammer, i will, and to the guy who told me to go to school, i am getting my aa in criminal justice, ba in homeland security, and masters in forensic science, and i can proudly say i have a 3.9 gpa as of right now. but i have nothing against ya'll, i just question a lot of stuff, ### i have some people saying one thing then another saying something else, and i can't say anyone is wrong till i'm exactly sure, the guy who had the turbo before us couldve mixed some things with, fp and bep, who knows so i'll get a lot more pics to show you all tomorrow on better views of it, i can now say i do believe you all it's not a green turbo, and that one guys post who said it looks like his bullseye i'll take that as helpful, but also makes me think it could be a diff fp turbo seeing that the casing is stamped by fp, sorry for how long this is

 

[kidtsi]

I didn't read all the thread slowly but i posted some that might be helpful on the other thread.

 

[snowborder714]

OP - Warnings handed out. Please use proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, etc. from now on.

 

[JusMX141]

if i wanted to use proper grammer, i will

Why does everyone come back with that statement.


DOOOO ITTTT! IT'S IN THE SITE RULES!

i am getting my aa in criminal justice, ba in homeland security, and masters in forensic science, and i can proudly say i have a 3.9 gpa as of right now.

I can honestly say I'd hate to be the Professor who has to read your Master's Thesis and try to decipher what the hell you're trying to say when the entire paper is tyepd liek ths kk with absolutely no punctuation or paragraph structure.

They give people degree's now that can't formulate, and express, complete, coherent thoughts, and ideas.

 

[95TSi_AWD_717]

Haha I can type really well when I need to. I believe college is a lot more important than a forum on a website. That's just my opinion. Is this proper enough for you? And I should be laughing at you. Your paying for me to go to school, and my expenses with living. The 3 grand a month. Then when I'm in the DEA who do you think pays for there checks?

 

[95TSi_AWD_717]

When I get it in hand tomorrow, I'll take more pics to help better understand which turbo it is. On that FP DSM green turbo I didn't see the C- Clamp on that one, that's what made me question it. Why would the casing be stamped with the FP logo tho? It's not like someone can do that themselves. I'm not arguing that it is I'm just curious.

I've yet to see personal proof of this.

Normally if FP were to rebuild a turbo they will scribe the date, the name of the rebuilder doing the work, and the journal oversize (if any) behind the compressor wheel. FP never built any T04B hybrid in a Bullseye Power turbine housing, though....so you've got me there.

 

[95TSi_AWD_717]

Alright, I get it tomorrow afternoon, so I'll post some more pictures of it so we can get a better understanding of it. The reason why I didn't agree with the bullseye turbo, is because those blades on the one picture the guy posted are like twin blades per blade. The one on this turbo are just single strait tipped, if I'm saying this right, like the one on the FP Green. But it's been a couple months since I've seen it so I could be wrong on the blades.

 

[JusMX141]

All T04B wheels (including the 60-1) and the T04E46 and T04E50 have compressor blades with straight leading edges.

The T04E54, T04E57, and T04E60 wheels have rounded leading edges, like these:

You must be logged in to view this image or video.

What you need to pay attention to is the blade count. Since I graduated Kindergarten, I have the ability to count properly....and the compressor on the turbo setup you displayed in post #12 has 8 major blades, hence it is a T04B compressor....not the T04E50 found on the FP Green.

 

[TurboATM]

take a peek at this thread-
http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/private-hangout/391054-bad-habit-collecting-turbos.html

Then take a peek at some threads started by Jus141...some of the 5,000 posts made of 5,900 that relate to turbos. Or see some of the turbos being run built by him, with record times.



i think he knows what he is talking about, a little better than you think....to say the least.

 

[95TSi_AWD_717]

I blew it up and from what I can tell yes there is 8, but as I said it's been a couple months since I've seen it and said I could be wrong, so it looks like I'm wrong. I'm not really caring if it's a FP Green, BEP, or whatever. Everyone thought it to be an FP Green, as I knew nothing about those turbos. I'm still going to use it. It's not going to be put on my built 6-bolt. That's where the GT35 will be. I need something to do other than going to school then coming home, so I got back in the DSM scene after I got out of it bac in 03-04ish when I had my first gen. After a numerous amount of problem I went through that I gave up on them and got me an SUV since all I did was surf. So now I'm here in PA unfort. nothing against to anyone that does live here, just don't do snow or cold, and have nothing else better to do. I remember when 20gs use to be the thing now they have all this new stuff and I'm out touch and need to refresh so just bare with me.

I still get more inquiries about 20G's than probably any other turbo. They're still out there, and they're by FAR my favorite street turbo for someone looking to get their car easily into the 12's at 20-22psi. Nothing hits harder and pulls stronger in the midrange than a TD05H 20G with stock cams while retaining OEM reliability and direct bolt-on capability using OEM oil and coolant lines.

The T04B V-Trim is actually old tech, probably around 2002-2004 was their peak because so many guys were worried about fitment with the newer T04E wheels and larger compressor covers. You'll actually have to dent the water pipe a little to fit that T04B- a T04E user has to get pretty friendly with a ball peen hammer, and that makes some folks uneasy.

Side note: Wow, another member from Mechanicsburg. I swear we keep getting more DSM's there (where I'm from and where my DSM is stored).

 

[95TSi_AWD_717]

I was saying that was back in the early 2000s and when he ran that, that's when I fell in love. I'm not trying to start a quarter mile thing, again something that was posted and had nothing to do with what I said. If wanted to do that I could pull out my friend Kyles 1st gen that's running low 8s.
