i didnt want to ask this, but i would like to know if i should get my hopes up or not. i know my stock b16 manifold is hurting me as is the turbo log, but here is the set up.

84mm b16 sleeved with dartons
crower billet rods
750's with hondata, 3 bar map
braided line, walbro 255, aeromotive reg
ported head, 1mm over REV valves
gsr cams
2mm (or close) bored throttle body matched intake
3" exh with a Apex-i N1 muffler, no cat
blitz dual sbc
tial 38mm gate
i plan on using leaded fuel if need be, i would like to see 22 psi.

any idea on if i can get close to 400 whp?

thanks in advance.

 

I think at 22psi you could easily make 400hp, but i would be careful with a thrust bearing turbo at 22 psi. i would suggest a ball bearing turbo for faster spool and so you can run more boost.

 

thats cool, i was told it was a ball bearing center.
it is weird with turbo technology now, 8 years ago with my buick, no one knew what a ball bearing turbo was, and if you did it was expensive as hell, but we were running 30 psi with a non ball center. it isnt going to see 22 all the time, i just want to hit that number. then have 15-17 for "spirited driving."

thanks

 

this may not help much but i had a stock sleeve b16, 50trim t3/t04b with .48 hot side. At 12 psi i made 238whp and 174 tq. This was on a Mustang Dyno.

what are the specs of your turbo? I would think you could hit 400 with what you have.

 

i think it is a .63 cold and .50 hot, i really cant remember and the car isnt in front of me to look. i never really paid much attention to it. it was 3 years ago when there wasnt much out there i had ordered a t3/t4 but they were on galactic back order and import parts had a to4b so i grabbed it.

 

a million billion horsepower....

 

a million billion TRILLION....


no, but 400 shouldnt be hard with good tuning and some huge *****.

 

i got the *****, i built the engine so if it goes south, i can blame only me.

 

dude seriously, if u feel like blaming me you can, I'm cool with that.


400 on racegas shouldnt be a problem at all.
