power on rb20

[TheRb240]

this is a rly dumb question but i was wondering how much power a rb20 would hav with a aftermarket bov, fmic, intake, open dp, and boost raised to 13psi... the reason im asking is my 240 is finally in the shop and the dude said he is expecting 320hp... im just wondering if thats realistic cuz i dont wanna think im all cool and hav like 2 hp or sumthen lol

LOL 220 is more realistic.

Stock turbo I don't think so. I'm thinking more like 220-240hp

[TheRb240]

wow that sucks lol.... i guess switching out the turbo would be the best way to get anymore power out of it?

[Cjmartz2k]

How much more power? Yeah, that turbo sucks, but you can get a lot more with just a tune.

[TheRb240]

i want in the end i guess about 400hp... i know thats alot harder then it sounds and i would probaly have to do internals and alot bigger turbo and all the works... but 4 now i just want enough to beat the v8 camaros and mustangs... what do u mean a tune though?

[Cjmartz2k]

I mean the factory tune sucks and there is a good bit of power to be had with just bolt ons, the stock turbo, and a re-tune, which is easy to do on a RB20 computer. I stock turbine RB25 bolted on and tuned in an S chassis should be able to take out your average GT or F body. Not sure what kinda numbers RB25 turbo's make on 20's though.

Tuned, with an RB25 turbo and boltons an rb20 should make around 280-300rwhp...I've got an rb20 w/ an rb25 turbo and boltons with just a/f ratios tuned and it rocks mustangs and f bodies.even with the stock turbo and boltons (like you're talking about) it should still give mustangs and f bodies a good run for their money...you've got to remember, the 240s only weigh around 2500-2700lbs...versus the typical stang or camaro weighing well over 3k.

thanks guys... i guess ill be searching for a rb25 turbo and retune it as soon as financially possible lol... ill keep yall updated
