Default Power expectations.

Hey guys. I'm looking to push for 300+hp using my setup.
Let me know what you think and any suggestions you might have. Do you think I can realistically meet my goal with what I have?

I have a b16a2
Srp low comp pistons
Eagle con rods
Acl race main and conrod bearings
NPR piston rings
Cometic HG
Arp main studs and head studs
0.48a/r garrett turbo
Cheap eBay turbo manifold
SARD r2d2 bov
550cc turbo rx7 injectors
3"turbo back system
Hondata s200 management

I also have a large holset turbo if I need it.

You could. Gotta be more specific with the turbo. .48A/R is only a turbine housing size. We must know the rest of it. As for parts components to the engine.. short answer: Yes

you'll be pushing that turbo to make 300. It will be the choke point of the setup especially with a B16. But fun!

It will take 15-18 psi minimum to make that power... the turbo only flows 35lb/min at its limit so you're going to be at the end of the turbo to make 300 at the wheels

Thanks for the info guys.
I have a holset h1a turbo also.
It's similar to a holset h1c.
It's massive in comparison.

Use the holset and get more than 300 or tune it to close to 300. Im running a COMPLETELY STOCK b16a stock block stock head stock intake manifold. I have arp head studs and cometic hg. Im runnin a 50trim turbonetics and peakboost ramhorn manifold at 8psi making 315whp on 440 rc's and a walbro. You should have no problem making 300 running the holset.

Depends on what kind of power delivery he wants.... bigger isn't always better

The gt28r will deliver a much more broad, flat and linear torque curve... making for a very fun street car

The holset will be much more laggy and a lot more "peakier" in comparison, especially on a b16... it would be much ,more suited for top end power production and aggressive driving I.e. highway pulls. Especially if its got the 12cm turbine housing, which most seem to do
