If you had to guess on hp....

[7M-GTE]

what would you say my car with the following mods would have...

mods...
1.2mm hks mhg (head was resurfaced to match)
GM MAFT (w/ 3in GM MAF)
RC550's
4:30 rear end (I'm not sure if that makes much diff in the hp)
Apexi AVC-R (usually set to stock boost and then sometimes 18psi)
stock turbo
random cone intake


I just kinda wanted to get a hint as to what I'm going to be lookin at when I get to the dyno...thanx...

I'm gona guess around 280, simply because it's not really over the top yet. Good fuel, good flow, but nothing much else to warrant high hp.

i wouldnt run more than 15 pounds on the stock ct. after that you may be making more harm than power.

Why will this rumor never die?

Same reason we believe in ufos, we like to think there's something beyond what we know now...

enlighten me !

It's not as bad as it used to be though. About two-three years ago people were saying you couldnt run more than 12psi on the stocker. So it's getting better.

I ran 16+ psi on a stocker for over a year. I know many other people that ran 16+ on the stocker also. I had the stocker up to 20 psi on multiple occasions. You dont wanna do it without a nice intercooler and gas, but it can be done just fine.

At 17 psi the stocker screams.

i was just always under the impression that it's past it's max efficiency rate after 15psi. though, i a good intercooler would most definately help, as you already stated.

how come u list stock turbo but in your sig it says 60-1? jus curious.

 

[SP 7M]

I've ran 1.1 bar (roughly 16.5 psi) on an occasion or two although I didn't mean to run any more than 1 bar (14.7 psi). I've ran 1 bar here and there over the span of 2 or 3 months. I don't think I'll be doing much of that anymore since I've got some minor shaft play. I think I'll keep it below .9 bar from now on since I really don't need it to take a shit on me. I need it to last until I get my SP61GT installed and I'm not sure when that will be.

I have ran 1 bar before I installed my HPF IC kit and I don't even know what the turbo was putting out-beyond 20 psi, I'm sure. I would really not recommend doing that. That was dumb on my part, but at least the CT didn't shit while I put a hurtin' on a '04 S2000 from 60 mph.

You have to remember that aftermarket ICs and piping make a significant difference in getting the maximum efficiency out of your turbo. The stock IC isn't too bad (about 70% efficient) but the piping is really shitty. A turbo doesn't have to work nearly as hard to get the desired boost at the manifold with a nice IC setup.

280? I'm thinkin a little more than that... c\ I stuck next to an EVOIIIV up to 120mph with out the injectors intake maft and boost controller... I would think/hope I'm at a little more than 280...

 

[mullenc525]

Probably 300 rwhp, maybe a bit more.

 

[americanjebus]

well wut psi... u said two

18 about 310 iffy jiffy maybe. tune it right intercool it and wut turbo, is it the stocker or the 60 trim?????

cant answer without details.

stock turbo and 18psi... and my mods are listed below minus the 60-1 turbo...

agreed! ran 18psi daily and it was pretty nice. only down side was it died shortly there after (bout 6-8months) w/ 87k miles under it.

 

[gixxer750]

If you had to guess on hp......

88 turbo...
walbro 255lph pump
550 RC injectors
Lex AFM
SAFC2
Profec B boost controller at 17 psi
57 trim CT26
fidanza flywheel, ACT clutch
Redline fluids throughout the driveline
BIC ceramic coated divorced downpipe(open)
Intake
2.25 inch hardpipes, 3.5 inch AFM to turbo pipe.
Ported exhaust manifold
mildly ported intake manifold and intake ports on head


thats about all the power making mods I have. What do you guys think, properly tuned... It runs in the 12's through the quarter, and is full weight.

 

[supralover2000]

Gixxer- I'd say that at 17psi with good a/f's you should be somewhere around 325rwhp. 330 torque. Now shoot on over to the dyno and tell me if Im right.

Just dynoed this past weekend at the suprashootout.
368whp and 343trq ~18psi

3in elbow - exhaust no cats
RC550's
VPC
60-1
1.2mm hks mhg
4:30 diff
