*tried to search but it didn't work*
i currently have a drag turbo system on my b17...i am currently redoing the entire setup and was wondering if i should replace the drag t3/t4, intercooler and manifold in order to get to 350 hp everyday and 400+ for the track days???

i have been also looking at the sc61, 22 x 8 pwr intercooler and the lovefab short tubular exhaust manifold...or would it be ok to go with what i have....

i switched to 880cc injectors, hondata s200b, and 255lph pump for the fuel which should be ok there...
earl hooked me up with a freshened bottom end including benson sleeved block with some cp pistons (approx. 9.2:1 84mm), crower rods...should be pretty solid there as well...and i talked to steve sakai about tuning the hondata once i get it all setup...

i figure the motor can hold it all but i just need some input as to whether or not the intercooler, turbo, and/or exhaust manifold would be limiting factors...if not i'll go with what ive got if i do then i'll have some equipment up for sale...thanks for info...

im sure its possible...but it will take more boost opposed to using an sc61 and a better manifold.

 

ok well i got the search to work...not sure what happened the first few times i tried it but it still didn't answer exactly what i wanted...

what i really want to know is; what is the horsepower capabilities of the turbo that the drag turbo came with and the standard intercooler...

also i have the drag gen 2 (never made 3 for my car) but it comes with the same equipment as the gen 3 except the blow off valve...correct me if im wrong tho.

 

I made 390whp on 20psi standard drag 3 kit. Could have made more but we went conservative on the a/f's..

 

Ok that's what I wanted to know...I may still upgrade the intercooler for hot summer days...

Get much creep with the drag manifold?

 

according to drag its good for 450hp and 26psi

No not at all. It should be fine on hot summer days, we were racing at around 100 this summer..

 

Some guy at SFP made over 450 WHP, ran 10's

is this on the same hardware that comes with the drag system? i.e. exhaust manifold, intercooler and turbocharger?

what is the reason so many people are going with the bigger turbo's??? is it somehow less stress on the motor to have 400 whp with 18 psi than if you have 400 whp with 22 psi?

i could get a full boost at or around 4500 with the drag system setup...sometimes that felt like forever...

i would imagine that anything much more powerful than that is useless on the street...had a dsm that i would say had 300+ to the ground and that car had bad traction problems from a stop...

 

I'm getting 317HP on my drag gen 2 system and imonly at 14lbs and 550cc injecotrs - I was told i can get 20 psi and 370 hp but dont have the $$ for a stand alone and bigget injectors right now , just my 2 cents
