Evolution Eclipse question

OK guys, I have a quick question. The evolution has the same engine 4g63 as the Eclipse. Maybe a little stronger and a little different but they are similar a lot. The evolution comes with a small 16G and produces close to 280. Will a Eclipse engine with a small 16g produce the same horsepower at the same boost as the Evolution ? What would be the estimated horsepower for a Eclipse with a big 16G at around 20psi ? ( I know should dyno test the car but I just wanted to know ). I am just curious since I am getting my car tomorrow and its set on 15psi on Low boost and 20 on Hi boost. So I wanted to guess what horsepower I might be getting. Again, I know you guys hate being asked how much horsepower this and that but just give me some numbers in your opinion.
Thanks
Thanks

Who's been telling you this shit? You are about half right. The Evo engine is a 4g63, but in all reality, its not like the DSM 4g64 at all. Yes, everything is basically the same, but the Evo engine is mirrored from the DSM engine. The timing belt is on the passenger side of the engine in an Evo, the DSM's is driver's side. Second, the Evo's didnt come with a small 16g, they basically came with an Evo III 16g. The both flow basically the same amount of air.
That said, assuming that you have all the bolt ond besides SMIM and cams, I would think that the big 16g would make like 300 whp on 20 psi with a good tune. Its too hard to tell though. Do you have any fuel system stuff? I dont think the stock fuel pump and injectors will be able to flow enough for 20 psi on a b16g.
