Looking to get 200whp
- Thread starter GhostMercury
- Start date
I like your positive thinking but I don't know how possible that would be. I put down 206 Hp and 210 TQ in November at 9 PSI with these mods: DSM AFC, GHL TB (with ho-flo cat), Hiboost FMIC, AEM CAI. If I was properely tuned the hp number should be around 215. I just don't see 200 WHP out of 6.5 to 7 psi. It mught just be my car though. The dyno was on a dyno dynamics dyno. I ran 185 HP and they dynojet correct up only 11.5 % so maybe it would render higher if I were to run on a real dynojet dyno or if my exhaust didn't have the high flow cat. But good luck though. I hope you do get those numbers.low_psi said:

dam that is depressing. but one thing you didnt mention was the PG intake and that should bump us up to just above 200

He runs a upgraded side mount, hardpipes, half injen CAI, vibrant exhaust and the ATP wastegate and he is on my but ALL the time. You should be able to do that easy with those 10 PSI "TUNED". You still risk it though cause you are on stock internals. I play it safe and stick to 5.8 PSI.
by that you mean next to you, right? he(Deuce) actually stays ahead on 8psi untuned if he gets the drop or if it's from a dig.....
just trying to promote the use of correct information on the forum(RTM)

200hp or not, your gonna love it.
wait crap.. so with FMIC, CAI, 7psi, FS-ZE intake cam, VTCS removal, MSP ecu, and 2.5" turboback with high flow cat you're tellin me I might be near 200whp? crap I was aiming for 160, damn damn.. does the stock MSP clutch hold 200whp ok? I just installed the clutch a couple weeks ago when I turboed don't feel like doing it again.

the clutch has been known to hold a little over 250 IIRC.

Please don't forget to upgrade your spark plugs. I would recommend going one stage colder.
Also, it should go without saying that some reliable, well-installed gauges should be used. I am going to go with a boost gauge, oil pressure gauge, and a (eventually wideband) a/f ratio gauge. I think an EGT might not be necessary but it can be helpful in recognizing a problem before the engine is damaged.
I'd also like to suggest motor mounts/inserts at some point, although not immediately necessary.
Good luck!

i already have a stage colder plugs. and as for the gauges i like the stewart warner ones cause they are the same color as our gauges and match almost perfect. i am going to get a 3 gauge pillar with a boost, oil temp, digital tach gauge with shift light for fun and then a wideband under my radio

i'd say oil pressure and egt are more important than a fun tach or oil temp
oh if you want a sweet fitting wideband for our cars, the NGK/NTK Powerdex AFX wideband fits almost snug in the spot where the ashtray goes.. I'm either going to cut a big hole in the ashtray, basically carving out the entire thing because it's that close to being a perfect fit, or just make a new piece out of plastic or something to make it snug.
