TOP 10 Dyno Proven N/A & Turbo Proteges

Wow. Did he build up the tranny to support it too or did it just go BOOM?!

The tranny can take a few runs before it snaps. Theirs the guys in PR running nearly 700hp and just run them till they break.

BTW...CWILL was beat by Miguel with a car put together by TBK Performance.
 
i think these people need to post the mods they have

That's what I'm thinking. I'd love to see what all they have done to make that kind of power. I might just up my boost and see how long it take to blow the tranny. Sounds like fun.

unless you're built the engine will go way first before the tranny does.
 
how much horsepower does the dyno say a stock 2.0 liter protege has?

This was with a short ram intake, nothing else...

what are some of those guys with higher hp na proteges putting in their cars?
 
Cams, pistons and engine management. For a build like Installshield's, you'll need a boatload of custom parts. But 150-160 whp can be done with off-the-shelf parts (cams, cam-gears, standalone engine management, high-compression pistons, intake and exhaust mods, stiffer valve springs, etcetera)... you just need to be enough of a sucker for punishment to foot the bill for the build. I'm halfway there. All that's missing is the high compression pistons, a better intake manifold and a reflash or module to remove the rev-limiter. Currently stuck at 148 whp (down from 152 after we tweaked the torque-curve with cam-gears). If I can hit 155-160 whp without revving over 6500 rpm, though, I'll be ecstatic.

By the way, I'm running catless. Local regs only require me to pass emissions... they don't care how I do it. ;)

High comp pistons, built cyl head, microtech, intake manifolds, cam gears, light pulleys. Thats the main things for high power N/A FS-DE's.
 
I have updated the list, and put up which dyno they used, if supplied. I also added the torque specs as well, if supplied.

Remember, if you submit numbers, you must have the printout. Lets see some more, I know that there have got to be better N/A and more turbo since then.

Getting the engine to rev is perhaps one of the most important things. Also getting the engine to breathe at higher RPMs. By doing this you skew the VE equation in your favor and 'big' power becomes possible.

You need all what Niky has suggested, plus perhaps longer conrods to curb the piston acceleration which becomes astronomical as you go north of 7500rpm.
 
wow i do not miss those days of 100 whp lol

My p5 dynoed 115whp 125wtq on a dynometer

had intake, OBX header, PG catted midpipe and RB catback.
