Estimated WHP

I have a 97 GS auto. I plan to go turbo in a few months and have some questions regarding what kind of numbers I can hope to achieve. I plan to go w/ the Hahn stage II kit w/ front mount intercooler. Additionally I plan to have cam gears, a pulley set, S-AFC II controller and a 3" cat back. My overall goal is to reach 300whp. :D. How much more do you think will be necessary to reach that goal?


And no, buying a GS-T/GSX is NOT an option. ;)

Your going to need A LOT

Good luck :)

lmao... um you better start building your motor before you turbo it! if you really want to hit 300hp then you will need to upgrade everything in the motor!!! its not goin to be cheap so i hope you have deep pockets!!! :p

in other words buy a gsx and throw some injectors a fmic and a damn 20g and hit 350-400 hp for less tiem and effort as those damn RS's its a damn BITCH car that is made for girls to fucking drive to their bfs house thas it... dont waste your time.... sell it... sorry for the bad language... i just dont wanna see you waste your time!

so are you saying i wasted my time and effort?? :screwy: what if he has a certain attachment to the car like i did... thats the only reason i turboed my car!!! i'm proud of what i own seeing there is not many RS's out there that have been turboed!!! but i guess my bitch car sucks ass! maybe i should just throw it away and buy a GSX! :disappoin

i am also attached to my gs now.. although it has a broken front bumper... peeling paint... no door panels... rusted bolts and screws and with the check engine light on :disappoin I still like it :D

LOL.... basically, he'ssaying besides a few small problems... the car is all good to go.

Thanks for everyone's replies. I know it'll be tough getting to 300whp that's why it's my OVERALL goal. I'm just interested in finding out what kind of numbers you'll think I can get out of the set up that I listed above.

Eventually I do plan to get new rods, pistons, cams, and valvesprings but what manufactures do you suggest and what places sell them?. Do you have to get your block bored n such? ;)

EclipseRST- Exactly what set up are you running(I know it's a lot of custom)? And how much whp are you putting down?

eclipseRST has around 350 horsepower when i last tuned his car :D and ya he got that from me :icesangel (joking) if u want to know more go read this thread http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=200222

I actually did read all ten pages of that :p. But thanks. I just have some specific questions and didn't want to junk up such a good sticky.
