Of course without a dyno I won't know for sure how much powe I am making but anyone have a rough estimate on how much power I'm pushing out w/ my motor and mods?

1997 S14 Black Top (T28) 220HP stock numbers ARC induction BOX ARC BOV ARC Front mount Intercooler Blitz Down Pipe Greddy Turbo 02 Extensions No Cat Trust DD exhaust (3inch stright pipe basically)

yeah it will, think about it...better IC efficency, better flow...i'd say at 7 psi you'd be at like...200whp? if you up boost i bet you could crank out a good 245 whp

Isn't 230-235 at the crank around 200 at the wheels? An like you just said, if you up the boost, you could get more....(same thing I said).

Sure ic is more efficient and there's better airflow and exhaust flow, so the quality of air going in(colder 'cuz of ic efficiency) and exhaust flow is the only real advantage, until more air and fuel is applied (up the boost).

thanks chingon

as you up the boost, i think those mods would have a bigger effect. Youre basically 'opening up' the engine with those mods to allow more airflow. So when you add more boost you can better take advantage of the additional airflow from removing the restrictive stock parts.

nitekids, how much power were you expecting??

with that $40000 airbox and I/C i'd expect they would add at least 400 to the crank and 1500 to the wheels.

how much boost? i'm assuming stock right? my guess is 200-210 whp at best at stock boost.

i just dynoed the other day and once we got the fuel right with the PFC i did 228whp/226tq on a slightly bigger than T28 turbo @10psi with similar mods to yours.
