Cheap Performance?

Assuming your 207 is at the wheels and 15% drive train loss, that is still less than the stock turbo (246 lb-ft at the crank).AJ'S 88NA said:
I guess it depends on what figures you go by, I read stock for the turbo is 240 at the crank, less 15%=204ft lb. But if you are right about the 246, then 246 less 15%=209ft lb. I guess I should have said "close to a stock turbo" But there again that rating is a factory torque rating which is questionable.swaq said:
Anybody have any stock turbo dyno numbers?
like most of everyone said, do the matinence first, change your plugs to ngk iridium spark plugs and change oil to 5 quarts of full synthetic motor oil, flush the fuel system with an expensive fuel system cleaner ($10) and premium gas(shell v power) to get the sludge out. check all ground wires. u might want to replace them with quality amp power lines with good connectors. change tranny and differential fulids. these will probably not add power to the wheels on a dyno but it will free up your car and make it accelerate way quicker. kinda like a smoker and non smoker runnig a marathon. With every car i ever had i had put an intake at minimum. check out ebay for intakes for about $20 shipped. or u can just drill out your air cleaner housing before the filter. but i would rather do ebay. defintely do the first three things i said.
I read somewere here that somebody had stock nos. before their mods. I thought that's what a few on this thread we're comparing the NA mods to. I know most NA's mostly stock usally dyno around 150hp. Factory rates them at 200 crank hp. That's more like a 25% drive train loss. Just wondering if the turbo's have that much drivetrain loss also? If so that would put a mostly stock turbo around 165 rwhp.swaq said:
the cheapest way to get an N/A to go fast is with a very good nitrous system.
Individual port based system with a huge shot would be quite a terror, and the torque would be there INSTANTLY. No turbo lag, no waiting, just BOOM.
But of course if you're racing on the highway and run out of bottle, you lose...
