You have way more research to do so;) Sorry is is not" just bolt on huge turbo and get 1000 hp" Besides the turbo you are also going to need supporting mods, plus witch I would recommend is a build engine. Yes, there is one or two supras out there with 500+hp on stock internals but that is with a ton of tuning on a dyno.

HP all depends on the tune of the engine.

your right about the supporting mods and i have plans for that i have je forged pistons purchased and the block is all set for them 83.5mm bore and i have the arp main stud kit and head stud kit so far but i have a long list of modifications that i will be doing. i plan on a stand alone ecu and bigger injectors and fuel pump. i will be purchasing eagle forged rods and would like to have 22 psi of boost. there are many more mods i just dont feel the need to list them unless it would help answer my question money really is not an issue for me with this car cause i want it to decimate and i dont care how long it takes to get it there or how much it costs because ive been in love with it since i baught it. really i say 800hp mostly to have it be a goal but if i only get 600 or even 400 out of all my mods i would be happy i appreciate the time spent on my question already.

it isn't as simple as just useing forged pistons....to have an unrealistic goal of 800 hp than you should atleast have a clue what turbo will get you there.


Advice...set a realistic goal of around 350hp...when you reach that, by then you should have a clue what it's gonna take to get your 800! Just so you know, the people here who have reached the 800hp mark probably spent so much money to get there that they could be driveing a dodge viper....and they know it....think about that...power isn't cheap...and the more you want the more it will cost you...

For example...IJ here has about $7000 invested in his headwork alone!! He is around 400hp....$7000 fucking dollars.....I'd probably shit out my mouth if I knew what his bottom end has invested in it.....not to mention his standalone and all other fancy shit he has to keep his moneypit moveing....

Good luck...but with good intentions I say "get real"!

Lets not discourage the man so soon. Its def. possible. If the man wants to spend that kind of (apparently expendable) money, then let him.

Just make sure you know what your doing or you will "decimate" your engine.
