addition parts i have is a front mount intercooler with type s bov oem metal head gasket and all oem gaskets for over haul 14b turbo with fp manny

I'm not gonna support bench racing, but I will tell you that you will only be able to run close to stock boost on that set-up since you have no injectors on that list and no way to tune it.

Your your weakest chain is your strongest link ;-)

See you do have some good supporting fuel mods, but not all of them. So the ones you don't have would just be a restriction. Think of a water gun with 2000psi but a nozzle so small you wouldn't be able to harness the 2000psi to it's capacity.
I'm not saying that is whats happening in you're set-up but the principal is the same.

so im missing only the injectors what kind do i go with and im gonna get dsmlink
the turbo i wanna run is most likly the holset 7blade but i dont know where to even start

Just for future reference, you could've easily asked what was missing from your set-up and even stated your goals and asked if the set-up seemed adequate for them, but specifically asking how much power you'll make with given mods is bench racing, which is against the rules. You'll be lucky if your thread isn't locked by a mod.

Thats not bench racing..I have been flamed for this...Bench racing is comparing another car with mods to your car and saying "Who do you think will win" thats bench racing..This guy is asking for an estimate probably because(like in my situation) theres no dyno shops around and he just wants to know how much power he is probably making..so just give him an esitmate off of your guys experience....This is not bench racing.

Bench racing:
1. To discuss the possible quarter-mile elapsed time (E.T.) of a car based on a list of modifcations or horsepower estimate.
2. To discuss the estimated output (in horsepower) of one engine versus another based on lists of modifications done to each engine.
3. To discuss "which is faster?" or "Which would win in a race?" between two cars, based on 1 and 2 above.


The only approximation that we can give you, that will be accurate, is you will make somewhere between 0-1000whp.

If you are really interested in finding out how much power your car makes, go find a dyno.

Correct. We have no way of telling how much power your engine setup will make. Even cars with identical engines will make different power levels. There's just way too much room for error and then fights break out over who's right or wrong, and it all ends badly.

However, we CAN tell you what you're missing from your setup, maybe make a few alterations that would suit your goals better, help you refine the little bits, ask you questions, and answer the other questions you'll have that all this discussion will bring about. And that's what we're really here for, innit?

Also, please remember to use spell check, punctuation, and grammar in your future posts. Thank you.

For now, I'm going to clean up the thread, remove the bench racing stuff, and see if we can salvage a decent discussion, which I think we can.

okay well since its going the wrong way bettter questions might be
like what am i missing as far as mods of fuel? what turbo set up is good and a decent price without replacing the manifold and with good hp numbers. my goal is at least 12s in a quarter mile.

yore missing 1000+cc injectors and e85
