Well i plan on dynoing the car in the coming weeks (2-3), still waiting on a part or 2. Im really hoping for around 260-280rwhp but we'll see. I just want everyones thoughts as I have never had my car or any car dynoed before. Just want to know if this is feasible hp goal on 18psi. This will be on 93 octane and I will bring some extra spark plugs just incase. Anyway here is the list of whats on the car and what will be on the car when its dynoed. I will try and dyno it a 15,18, and 20psi...eh we'll see.

- Greddy manifold (yes it fits)- Td05-18g- Greddy type s wastegate and bov- E-manage (not installed yet)- 550cc injectors (not installed yet) might go with 660's- z32 maf (not installed yet)- walboro 255- profec b as soon as I can get it from my friend- forged pistons and new oem bearings- koyo radiator (not installed yet)- 2x12in permacool fans- ebay intercooler (i forget the dimensions)- custom piping 3in on coldside 2.5 hotside- Greddy down pipe (flying down pipe???)- Megan Racing exhaust 3in- ebay test pipe 3in- thinking about aem uego $250 on ebay what do you guys think?I'm probably forgetting some stuff but eh i cant remember

Just to clearify I wanna know what you think 18psi will get me and then you can say whether it will take 20psi or more and so forth...well you get it.Well let me know what you guys think. Feel free to critize and pick on my long *** exhaust tip . If you feel I'm missing something or if you have any substantial input whatsoever let me know. Thanks.

Well, if DSM guys can hit 350whp and beyond on a 16G, you better be able to make at least 280whp on an 18g.

If tuned correctly Richard, more around the 270ish mark @ 18psi of boost. Don't really know what diameter is your backhousing, but you should be up and around that ballpark.

Go with the 550's. The 660's are way too big. I've got NISMO 555's on mine, and at 14psi, IIRC, I was only at like 60% duty cycle on the injectors.

Crad- Yeah I figure the turbo is good for the power, because Im constantly skimming through post on dsmtuners. I just wasnt sure about the 18psi. Thanks

float- well in that case I will save myself a drive to boca and just stick with the 550's.

Dee- Kevin will be tuning it so I should be in pretty good hands.

Thanks guys.

280whp sounds about right, my friend with a DSM 16g automagic put down 277whp.

Yeah I figure 18psi should do it. I guess now im gonna have to invest in an lsd, tires and some decent suspension.
