Take an 86 3SGE engine (stock ~130 hp)with the following:

Aftermarket pistons, crank, timming gears, cams, headers, fuel injectors
cold air intake, duel exhaust, and a port and polish

Estimate what you think the horsepower would roughly be after all of that

89Turbo944

pistons 20hp, crank 5, timming gears 10(if adjusted right, if wrong then you will lose more power than you gain), cams 5-15(depends on cam profile), headers 5-15 depends on style and size of header, fuel injectors (no better unless you upgrade the rest of the fuel system), dual exhausts will make you lose power, port and polish 5 hp.

so lets see maby a 70hp gain, most likley less but you could do 200hp @ the crank.

All figures were pulled out my ass

200hp at the most if your lucky

badA$$ FD do you own that

NAW wish i did tho. Looking to sell the GSX and S2K to get it

Would be tight, and i have always loved the FD and now that i have the monwy and knowledge to own one i think it is time to get one

Also, i posted those numbers based on a perfect running engine. This means that you cooling system is in perfect condition, oiling system, electrical system, properly tuned for all the parts, gererly a perfect engine. So yes, you would be VERY lucky if you hit 200hp with that stuff.

But do it and see what happens, hell i may be wrong. Maby someone will post and has had that tipe of setup and has acheived good numbers. Who knows.

Good luck with it tho.
