FP Black Evo 8/9 Ball Bearing Turbocharger

Well there's been a lot of rumors circulating. Speculations and expectations, today the wait is finally over.

Forced Performance is proud to announce the debut of our 100% brand new, patent pending, dual ceramic ball bearing design within the FP BLACK™ Turbocharger for the Lancer Evolution 4-9 vehicles. This new design virtually eliminates any limit to allowable thrust load within the turbocharger while simultaneously reducing drag and rotational resistance to spool up. The increased thrust limit significantly extends the longevity of the turbocharger when operated beyond its published flow and boost limits and eliminates the turbochargers sensitivity to lubrication interruptions due to hard acceleration and cornering forces. Recent performance testing at the MHI Research and Development Laboratories in Nagasaki, Japan verified that the design dramatically exceeds the normal allowable thrust loads for TD05/6 type turbochargers and allows for a significant increase in the available airflow from the turbocharger without bearing damage.

Internally very little is shared with any previously offered turbocharger anywhere in the world beyond the description of "ball bearing". This patent pending design is 100% blank page and will have an important impact on turbocharger bearing systems for years to come. The races and ceramic balls of the turbocharger are the highest grade components available anywhere, period.

The FP BLACK™ for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 4-9 is the most fully evolved stock appearing variant we offer. It features an 82mm HTA™ compressor wheel with a flow rate of 68lb/min with our 84mm Flow Advancement Port™ compressor cover. The turbine side features a large 67mm turbine wheel.

The turbo comes standard with a 25psi wastegate actuator and our Evo Oil Filter Housing Line Kit. You may select a lower pressure actuator if needed, but the unit is intended to operate above 25psi of boost pressure. This turbocharger will produce 500-600whp results readily on well prepared engines.

PORTING: A t the bottom of this page you will find the options of porting which is HIGHLY recommended and also to add a turbo outlet pipe. The porting is standard and will be automatically selected so you will need to select that you do not want it if you do not. The turbo outlet pipe will be needed if you do not currently have a Evo 9 based turbo on your Evo 8.

WARRANTY - This turbo features a 12 month complimentary repair policy. You must activate this service within 30 days of purchasing this turbocharger by returning the registration card included with the turbocharger and a copy of your receipt if purchased from a supplier other than Forced Performance. Please contact us directly if you have any problems or questions regarding your turbocharger, dis-assembly of the turbocharger or modification will void the Complimentary Repair Policy.
