Forced Performance Green Turbo Mitsubishi EVO VII VIII IX 01-06
The EVOGreen Model turbocharger is a direct bolt-in upgrade for 2006 Lancer Evolution cars and can also be used on earlier EVO4-8 models with the EVO8 turbo installation kit (required to avoid contact with the starter). The installation kit is required for 2003-2005 year model EVO8 and includes the compressor outlet pipe, oil lines, water lines, and all required gaskets.
This turbo appears externally to be a 2006 EVO9 turbocharger. It uses the larger diameter EVO9 compressor housing and bearing housing found in the 2006 models. It uses our 700cfm 69-5 billet compressor wheel and our enlarged 11 blade turbine wheel. This combination of increased compressor and turbine flow results in a very broad powerband and stock like boost response while still being capable of well over 400whp.
This turbocharger operates very well in the 20-22psi range on pump gas, and 24-28psi on E85 and 26-32psi on C16. Customers who desire quicker spool up and don't plan on running boost higher than 22psi can benefit from selecting the 9.8cm2 housing. The penalty for running the 9.8cm2 housing is much less obvious when coupled with the larger 11 blade turbine wheel and the increase in back pressure from the smaller housing is negligible. To this end we are trying to obtain the very rare 9.0cm2 housing to gain even better bottom end power and response - we'll update on this topic in the future.
UPDATE: FP received a shipment of 9.0cm2 housings and have now run them on a few cars to see how they react. Their shop EVO9 has been running one on a EVOGreen model and a flash. The datalogged airflow didn't change appreciably from the smaller housing and shift recovery is down to .5s from .6-7s with the 9.8cm2 housing run on the car previously. As they have long suspected, all three of these housings will allow the engine to exhale easily when coupled with the larger turbine wheel used in the EVOGreen model turbo. Look at the turbine flow graph, notice that the 9.0 and 10.5 data traces are very near each other with the flow parameter only differing by approx 5% between the two sizes. The 9.8cm2 housing data line would be practically on top of the 10.5cm line. This supports the observations of many that the 10.5cm2 housing is only marginally higher flowing than the 9.8cm2 housing.
The turbine flow maps shown below shows how the choke flow of the turbine varies with changes in the turbine nozzle area.
The 18psi wastegate actuator is strongly recommended for applications where the boost pressure will always be 20psi or higher.
The turbine housing gasket match port job is recommended if using a gasket match ported manifold.
The turbine housing ceramic coating is recommended to reduce heat in the engine compartment, particularly useful if the factory heat shields are missing.
The turbo can be ordered with either 9.0cm2, 9.8cm2 or 10.5cm2 turbine housings.
Options include: Porting: Unported or Ported. Wastegate Actuator: Standard Wastegate or Force Performance 18psi HP Actuator Turbine Housing: 10.5cm2 Nozzle, 9.8cm2 Nozzle, or 9.0cm2 Nozzle Turbine Housing Coating: Standard Uncoated or Ceramic Coated. Please select below.
