500+hp GST?

[Root Beer]

Was lurking around instagram. Came across this guy and his supposed 500 hp gst. We got into a pretty heated argument and he claims his eclipse makes over 500hp, but on his page this is what his engine bay looks like. In my opinion there is no way this car makes anywhere close to 500hp, but I am looking for insight from you 4g63 guru's because I've been out the DSM game for awhile.

Keep in mind, this was his previous build.

Na stock Maf not recirculated that thing prob runs like crap haha. Jpipe turbo prob a 14b or evo3 16g. Looks thrown together with eBay crap, probably even a ebay turbo . Heck the exh mani doesn't even have all the bolts . Probably has no way to tune and hits fuel cut. Tell him to prove it show dyno chart or send you a log file . If he can't then he's just talkin smoke. If he had things run proper then it would be more believable. These engines can push that when done right.

Even the small nipple on the injen intake is uncapped.

500? Shiiiid. I'm getting readings of over 9000... Hope someone gets that reference

On a serious note though, I don't see this thing making any serious jam. Looks like your typical trailor park boy setup that beat it's first honda and is claiming 500hp suddenly. Don't let this chump get under your skin.

Just tell him your car makes like 1 more hp than his . Funny he can't tell you the exact number but its over 500 . Start drilling him ask when he hits full boost, when is peak tq, when the power starts falling off. How high he took it to, what's the tq number, what gas, what turbo, what's he using to tune with, injector and fuel pump brand and size. How much lb/min he's pushing and why the hell is the bov not recirculated. Can't wait to hear the reason haha. Which we all know of course so he can be a ricer turbo guy and go whoosh and hear it. Cuz ya know that makes more hp that way right haha. Oh also ask why he has a open port on his intake pipe. And if he has such a well built 500hp beast why he couldn't buy 2 bolts and mount the afpr properly . Don't forget to post the answers oh try trick him and say so did you avoid rewiring the fuel pump. I've heard when you rewire them they don't work as good haha. Say bro it's so cool you have the bov open to air and not recirculated. I've heard you gain more boost cuz it stays rich between shifts .

Maybe the Sharpness edit effect added more HP who knows
