If I keep my stock 13g turbo and do everything that is listed in the tuning guide stage 1( http://www.dsmtuner.com/tuning-guide/1gturbo/stage1power.php ) what kind of horsepower could I get? 250? I'm not trying to make this a really fast car I just want a fun daily driver with a little extra power.

How much torque does a stock 91 gsx auto have? Everthing I've seen so far only lists the horsepower.

Thanks
 
Ditch the 13G. I have a 91 Eclipse GST automatic and I swapped out my 13G/390's for a 14B/450 combo and it makes a nice improvement. Its also nice to swap to a 2G exhaust manifold when you do this.
 
Woud I gain any horsepower from a 14b 450 injector swap or would it just be a better turbo for performnce after other mods?

Isnt using a 16g the same as swaping to a 14b(lines etc.)? If I used a 16g what injectors should I use? Any other supporting mods I'll need?

Thanks
 
A small 16G could get by with 450's if boost is kept to 14 psi. I may have a 14B for sale for $100. and I dohave a set of 450's available. PM or email me if interested. Mark

yes you would gain hp if you raise the boost on the 14b and 450......
 
I meant would I gain any power with just a straight swap, not turning up the boost or anything.

Doesnt matter though, looks like I'm going to be running the 13g for awhile. I bid on one last night on ebay and it doesnt look like I'm going to be out bid. But thats ok, I just got this car wednesday and I just want to get it back on the road as soon as possible.

So, could I get 250 horsepower with the 13g and just the stage 1 mods in the tuning guide?
 
Back when I swapped my 13G/390s for the 14B/450s I kept the boost at 15psi. It made a big difference but when they turbo/injectors were installed, I also put on an intake, UICP, 2g manifold and a few other parts. No matter what, ditch the stock 13g and its 390s because they will not give as good of results to future performance parts down the road.
