I say 211whp, but that smic is going to hurt you in the upper boost levels (say 10-13psi).

Dee's 211whp seems a little high, I say with a front mount definately a possibility, but not with that stock sidemount, I say 190-200whp if that, but I could be wrong.

this is just my starting tune after i get the car running. I have a FMIC set up, but im not putting it on the car, i am getting custom mandrel bent piping after the car is running, and everyone will see a dyno on 15 lbs with a FMIC, later.......

THIS RUN WILL BE ON 8 LBS OF BOOST ON THE SR T25.

ps. whats up coupedevil, hahha, dont listen to him!

Why not just get the ssauto fmic kit? Its $295 and comes with lightweight polished piping. Thats what I got and its pretty nice.

I already have an intercooler. just not piping for it. that kit on ebay includes a FMIC, but doesnt look very big. 295 is a good price though, definitely worth the money if it fits.

i vote that your first run will be ~140whp, then your last run will be ~230 because the dyno tuner will scam you and cheeze both numbers to make it look like he worked a miracle (he can scam 220, +10whp for shift knob)

but your actual whp will be 182 (shift knob)

What does the clutch or LSD have to do with the power? The clutch either holds or it doesn't, and the LSD....well, that makes no difference whatsoever.

i'm going to say 182whp. i hear this and that about a 3"DP opening it alot, but that stock SMIC will probably heat soak after the 3rd or 4th run.

Honestly, probably not for two weeks. I wanted to get everyone to guess before, so I was just trying to give it enough time. the finishing touches will be done this weekend, and after getting some miles on it, breaking in the clutch, I will take it to the dyno.

Definitely together, the only thing that isnt on the motor is the turbo manifold/turbo. the motor is sitting on my nismo motot mounts, but Im getting the flywheel resurfaced, and installing the clutch/transmission/driveshaft saturday, and sunday installing all the accessories, and starting it up. Hell it might be finished saturday night. but I still gotta get some miles on this beast, make sure everything is ok.
