looking for 400hp help me out

[Malkavia]

hey guys im lookin to get 400hp out of my 7MGTE heres the thing
how close would i get using the following:
KN FIPK intake
3" downpipe with elbow
3"Test Pipe
Blitz Nur Spec 3" exhaust
stock Ct26 say around 11psi
and about a 60 shot of nitrous

mark at suprastore said that 11psi with a 60 shot of nitrous is all he would recommend before i go upgrading rods and what not naturally i have to replace my HG my current one might be blown but i duno id have to test it i have my theories, but yeah to run a 60 shot of nitrous what kind of MHG would u guys recommend and torque wise would u say 80lbs would be fine? with this setup how close do you think i could get to hitting 400hp?

i am aware with the downpipe and test pipe it would technically make this car off road only but i live in florida and the cops here dont care

what u guys think?

it WILL kill your engine.

:werd:

 

[Malkavia]

yes i am aware of this lol i just wana see it done otherwise im just gona keep my stock HG and torque it down more but say without nitrous and i have the KN fipk 3" test, down, exhaust running 11psi on stock CT26 how much power u think ill get?

im only lookin for like 300-350rwhp since i live in orlando and everyone here is pretty much a ricer

 

[Nomad707]

probly be hi 200's

 

[Malkavia]

the engine was just rebuild about 20k mi ago and the turbo was rebuilt as well about the same, i dont wana run past 11-12psi in case it blows on me, however they previous owner said he rebuilt the turbo and spend 1000 bucks on it so i think he either got ripped off or got it upgraded, only problem is i dont know what trim and i havent removed the turbo to check for machine marks but if it is stock and rebuilt running 11psi and i get hi 200s as you say if i went to like 13psi what u think id hit? i dont wana go much higher because of the fact that once u go much higher u gota spend massive $$$ that i just dont have right now

i wouldnt run more then 10.. if its a stock turbo, you eventually will regret running high boost.

take off the accordian hose and see if theres any play...

 

[Malkavia]

will do thanks, 300rwhp would be perfect for orlando cuz everyone is either in a civic or integra so not much of a challenge

Wow....... N20 won't "KILL YOUR ENGINE" if your motor is in good condition/well maintained and you fit a good quality kit and aren't a total tard with it.

Please don't make statements like this unless you have some personal experience with the subject and can offer intelligent facts.

 

[Malkavia]

i believe my engine is in good quality so to speak i mean i am just overheating with a coolant leak atm no BHG symptoms and the engine pulls hard it just heats up and chirps due to the speedo cable being broken, but if i were to put in N2O id have to replace the HG anyways cuz the stock one wont handle N2O i dont think, correct me if im wrong however

 

[IJ.]

ANY power upgrades on a 7M require the motor and car to be in good condition to start with from your description yours isn't and I wouldn't do a single thing to it until you correct the faults.

 

[Malkavia]

i dont have any BHG symptoms ive read about other then overheating and i have a coolant leak but it all seems ok, if i had a BHG wouldnt the temp gauge be going like to maximum really fast and leaking coolant and milky oil everywhere? from what i can tell the only problem i see so far is the coolant leak and the speedo cable being cut. sure enough im gona have the car checked out and the coolant lines replaced before i consider any upgrade in performance, however i already have the KN FIPK from the previous owner so thats woohoo to me 1 less thing i gota do but yeah back on the BHG bus what do u think?

 

[maitai69691]

your pro going to whant to do a fuel system up grade also.And id whate till you cold get the head gasket done also thats what i did just wating to install fuel system and a good tune.Where in orlando are you im in kissimmee

 

[Malkavia]

im near the airport 436/lk underhill i gota do the compression test to see if the HG is blown if not im gona retorque it to 75lbs if i can find some help because i have no clue what im doing, and after that is done and my coolant leak is fixed speedo cable fixed, and running 100% ill add a DP TP and a 3" exhaust and turn up the boost a bit to like 10-11 i duno atm most ppl here are rice acuras and hondas its rare to see anyone with 200rwhp

 

[IJ.]

It's NOT a compression test it tests the Coolant for Combustion gases

 

[Malkavia]

yeah well you know what i mean lol

 

[Malkavia]

are ricers abundant in kissimee?

 

[7MGTEsup]

Listen to IJ he knows what he's talking about. Your car needs to be 100% befor you start trying to make power because that little problem can turn into a big one very quickly when your trying to push 50% more from the engine.

 

[Malkavia]

yes yes i am aware of that and i do appriciate ij taking time out to help me out i wouldnt upgrade anything relating to performance until my engine was 100% operational

Good story, guy with a 3000gt sohc 3.0 ran 175 shot on a bone stock motor, he put the nozzle facing the wrong way in the intake tract, BOOM. end of story. Nitrous is interesting, If a motor is in tip top condition, it can take quite a bit and aslong as you keep plugs in it(copper and probably a 1 step colder heat range depending on the amount of nitrous) and a good AFR, it can be used pretty safely. If your a tard and dont know how to use nitrous, find someone that does to help you out.
