You ever your beast on a dyno? What numbers are you making? I just glanced at your set-up and i kno your ge is making more than 200rwhp.AJ'S 88NA said:
200RWHP
- Thread starter lil_dcb7
- Start date
Look at AJ's mods if you have less than him you have less than 215rwhp 
(it's NOT as easy as some are making out as the 7M is fairly highly tuned to begin with)

IMO, Those are the only things on that list that would give your more horsepower. Chances are, you're not anywhere near 200 RWHP. Hell, the gains with this custom cold air intake are slim to none I bet, unless it's properly designed.

But my engine is fresh and has a lil more juice than most because of how fresh it is and it was built correctly
OK boys and girls, time for new vocabulary words.
STREETABLE: A motor or car that has been modified, but is still usable as a daily driver vehicle without too much effort, discomfort, or risk.
What's the use of a fast car when you can't drive it on the street and it's always in the shop getting repaired, replaced, rebuilt or re-tuned. The more power-adders you put on your motor the more that can go wrong. Let's not forget fuel economy. The more power you put out the more fuel you will use not to mention having to use a higher octane level to stop pinging and detention.
Power band:The range of operating speeds under which the engine is able to operate efficiently.
When increasing your horse power you shrink your power band and move it to the upper RPM range requiring you to rev your motor higher to get to the power you want to use.
If we really want alot of HP then we all need to get rid of our precious 7M's, 1j's, and 2j's and start looking at V8 swaps. I've helped build motors that would would put you in the back seat. But the main problems with them are reliability and maintenance.
So I'll leave you all to ponder this question. How much horse power can you make before your motor is unstreetable?
Hey Defiant, how about taking a 351W and stroking it to a 396 and dropping it into a mid 90's ford ranger. Where were those "OH SHIT!!" handles again?

Streetable...Me??? Have you seen C16 sold at Shell or BP
Powerband...I might be alright????
one more:
Lunatic.........Yep 100% going to try both of the above.
Hell who needs "OH SHIT" handles by the time you grab them it too late. Need to get in with the "Depends" already on and enjoy:biglaugh:
And EVERYONE who has built a fast turbo motor will agree a turbo ain't shit without a good motor behind it. Personally I can not help those who wasted money by "Lego building" or throwing parts onto a motor thinking that they will get the same numbers that the companies claim. Those who don't do the research are the same ones whining because they messed up their motors with a half ass build. Do they research before even touching a bolt on your motor
You need to forcibly remove your head from your ass and wake up. Most of these fast cars your talking about can not be driven on the streets on a daily basis. I laugh at these guys who brag about their fast cars and can't even drive them to the store and back. If you read anything about turbo motors you will realize they have issues with keeping the motor cool, oiling issues, fuel issues, maintenance issues, and keeping the motor in tune so they can use the HP they crank out. N/A's are plain and simple and easier to maintain.
Take your childish anger someplace else. Try a Honda site. You are most ignorant person to disgrace themself I have even seen here.

I'm sorry for going off. I'm the poor SOB that has to rebuild someone's "Lego Build" or half ass build at the custom shop. I'm just tired of people thinking that a turbo is God's gift to motors when in reality they are not. They have their own set of problems that adds to the problems that a motor already has. Too many wannabe fast and furious read a couple articles without realizing what all went into building the motors that they are drooling over and think they can build one just like it in less than a weekend by throwing a bunch of high dollar parts together and expect it to last.
I've seen too many of these high HP motors destroyed by little things and stupid mistakes. But most of them are destroyed by ignorant owners who think their +400 HP motors are daily drivers and end up blowing their motor. I've personally seen a 600HP motor destroyed by a .10 cent bolt that got sucked into the intake manifold and bounced around cyl 1 and 8 until it was small enough to get past the valves and destroy pistons and crack the block. The heads were cracked and the valves were missing pieces. I had to do the engine autopsy to find out why the motor failed. The owner voided the warranty by adjusting a bolt on the carb.
Once again sorry for going off.
I'm outta of here like a crackhead with a car stereo.....

Meh, ma70Ent. will (please) clean out all the non-specific "data." I'm glad he does a good job of keeping the good tech threads clean.
Totally agree with your last tech post, though. See "custom(read half-assed)" work all the time in customer's vehicles. Then they wonder why it doesn't run right, cool right, warm up right, etc. Sometimes I want to beat them with their own tools(usually elec. tape, wire cutters, and vice grips, seemingly)...
