I dynoed the car the other day. My best was 223.8whp. I thought that was good for a pretty much stock engine.

CA18DET-SR T25 -Custom 3" down pipe.( sweet as can be... longer than usuall. Extended almost to the mid of my car.)-Dual prof exhaust. 3" tips & two 2.1/2 pipes connected to the end of the downpipe with two test pipes. I hvae never seen this exhaust before. Sounds nice. It was taken off of a r32.

What do you think.

actually that's not a 30rwhp increasestock they come 175 at the crank which is around 145-150rwhpso that's like 80rwhp increaseand i assume your t25 from an sr flows morei assume you have an intake and exhaust and a boost controller....you should consider yourself pretty lucky and fortunate because for the mods you have those #'s are very respectable

I figured stock ca is 165 whp stock. If I put a sr20 t25 turbo I should be @ 195-200whp at 8psi.

I currently run 11psi

Thanks for the respect. I had to dyno my car asap. When I beat a Mustang Bullet and an SS Camero in one day:)

Are you sure you dont have a computer or something in/near your ECU for those numbers?

you know if you pull the valve rocker arms and the pole they rock from a USDM CA18DE out of a pulsar and get some more torque numbers right away.

Could you please re-state that, as it didn't make any sense....

sorry, im stupid at night.

You can use the rocker arm assembly from a USDM pulsar ca18de and put it on your jdm ca18det and get some better torque numbers right away. (i think like 20-30 ft/lbs)Just a simple bolt-on upgrade.

I THINK you mean take the CA16DE intake camshaft..I got one the other day, haven't installed it though, I want to dyno a baseline first to actually see if the mod REALLY does give any gains, but since it actually has 8 more degrees of duration an nearly 1mm more lift I suppose it might..

Our wonderful CA's don't have a rocker assembly, it's direct between lobe and the valve's "bucket" (not sure it's the right term)

CA myth. might add a little because yes they do have different lift and duration, but this has been a long debated CA issue. it really doesn't add a noticeable ammount of anything (no way in hell it adds 20-30 ft/lbs! tomei cams aren't going to add 20-30 ft/lbs)
