Default The popular "how much power" question.

Aight a little over 2 months ago I popped the rings in my trusty B18A1. After about a year of faithfully untuned service and regular beating she fiannly gave up on me. I could have went the cheap route and just swapped in another LS bottom-end, but I opted for a build-up. So through 93LSivic and Fuzion performance, I aquired some nice shiny parts to put "humty dumpty" back together again <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emsmilep.gif" BORDER="0">

Anyways here is the run down, I'm looking for estimates on how much HP I can put down with about 14~16 lbs of boost.

~Block~
B18A1
*edited*

~Turbo~
Drag III for a 94+ LS
T3/T04E (.63 A/R Stage III wheel/54 trim compressor)
Ported out turbo mani and exhuast housing

~Techno/Chassis stuffs~
Zdyne SECU Standalone
FJO Wideband O2 + Datalogging
720cc Injectors
Walbro 255 lph Intake
3" DP & Exhaust

Perviously my engine was pretty much the same as the above aside from the increased displacement and forged internals. It made enough power to @ 10 psi to tap out a set of DSM 450's...

I think I may need a bigger turbo

YOu spend all that money...then you write:

Drag 3 turbo etc etc etc.

Sell that thing and get turbo kit that makes WAY more power. That thing is made for like 230 WHP.

Get one 2x as big, and youll make more power, Way more.

I think you'll be alright @ 16 psi with your current turbo, up to about ~370 whp. Judging by the compressor map it looks like it runs out of breath after that. Just my amateur turbo hobbyist opinion.

BTW, my WHP prediction still stands

Thanx dude! to you. I think 370-ish whp in an 1900 lb CRX will be decently quick enough
