The guy said he was running 15psi. I was thinking like around 290hp. Something like that.
 
I think things like a boost gauge, boost controller, and at least an AFC are implied. Whenever people ask a question like this (even though it's probably not a good idea to ask) someone right away mentions one of those three. You might as well not post if you're going to mention that.
 
Actually, these questions are kind of pointless. I think people use them as some sort of morale booster. I figured I had x amount of horsepower and was confident that when I went to the dyno I would do a little tuning and turn out some nice numbers but boy was I wrong. I had a boost leak that was limiting my power and an A/F ratio that was lower than a soldier getting called out of retirement to go to war. A better way than asking is by some trap speeds from a track or dyno. Yes we could give you a rough guess but it'll be just a guess. My guess is 270. Might want to get a FMIC.
 
this guy didn't even mention a fmic .. thats a major component once we get into bigger turbos. Nobody knows how much power his car will make ... every car is different. And why get a big turbo and only run 15 psi?! I'm guessing 275 whp.
 
I was looking at it to buy. FWD. And the guy said he was gonna put a FMIC but he decided to sell instead.

My previous estimate still stands, even with no fmic. Besides, I heard the Nitto 555's teamed up with Koni adjustable shocks really do wonders for your top end. :thumb:

I only asked a simple question, dont got to be all ### about it.

Sorry you took so much offense. I see these guesstimation questions a lot and there's no simple answer to your "simple question". The answer requires a look at how much tuning has been done and whether or not the car has been around the block a few times. Your guess is a bit on the high side considering the mediocre boost set on a not so mediocre turbo which lacks some supporting mods. You ought to do leakdown and compression tests to see if the motor is on its last legs. Otherwise, whatever money you have saved up for mods are just going to go to repairs. Not the answer you're looking for but it is something to think about.
 
As was mentioned in your other post, just dont buy this car. Anyone who thinks he can run 660's with no fuel tuning is a moron. Also, running that turbo on the stock sidemount wasnt too bright either. Just take your money and go elsewhere.
 
yep the guy is a moron don't buy the car. And don't ask these "how much power" questions anymore either. If you really care then give him $50 to go do a dyno run and SEE the actual power on paper .. not just rough estimates.

And where did you come up with this number goofball??? My estimate is dead on at 723.4 whp. If you would like I can show you the correct formula to get this number. Mass Dsmers are the worst at Math
 
between 250 and 400 HP...

honest.. thats about as much as can be told.. Tuning + motor shape + unlimitless unknowns..
