I said "A GENERAL RULE OF THUMB" which means it's something to go by, an estimate. And I wouldn't consider the several people on this forum and that I have talked to with dyno numbers on turbo'd cars that reflect that exact rule as "some ass." I didn't come up with the number, the dyno did, so argue that one.

Stupid sh*t like this:

Deserves this:

Stock SR20DE vs same engine boosting 6.5 lbs. Almost exactly 10hp per pound:

Did you notice the price? $3595, well under $5000.

BTW this thread has gone WAY off topic.

There are mickey mouse dyno machines out there and they could be using them to show bullshit horsepower and torque readings so they can sell you their product.

wow you'll make up anything just so u dont look like an idiot huh

(EDITED)

Thas wut i heard too..dun kno if its a fact

[kingpinn]

well thanks kinda guys

Sorry kingpinn, back to the original topic...If you're looking for a drag strip car, the CRX is lighter and I still say a better option if the only thing you're looking for is low times. Not with the stock engine, but do an engine swap and you'll get some pretty good runs, either a GS-R swap or an H22 if you don't mind doing a little fabrication, because I don't think It'll just drop right in.

BTW your thread has gone WAY off topic and in the wrong forum. Nissan forum is next door.

Also the real idiots here are the people who believe and buy high performance parts and doesnt understand what they are doing.

hell yes. boost the h23 and definatly dont get a mustang, unless of course you want to drive down the street and to have people yell "wow thats a really cheap car that everyone has and is not original whatsoever unless you dump 15g of mods into its appearance alone!"

Keep trying, you're getting funnier!

^^^i second that

Not trying to flame you 94preludeJDM, 'cause I know you didn't come up with this info, but 10hp for each psi is not very accurate. Even if you're only taking 4 cyl motors into account. 9psi on a 15g turbo is alot different than 9psi on a T3 setup. Trust me, I had a 1.8T Jetta pushing a steady 16psi (w/ chip on stock turbo) and I'm damn sure I didn't gain 160hp. I was actually pushing 197whp and torque. Maybe that equation is for a specific turbo.

p.s. I know it's not a honda but it pretty much proves my point.

thats about 250hp crank. so steady 16psi boost on pump gas and stock injectors? just wondering...

You're right 10hp per psi is more than what most people get out of their turbos. I don't really know why the Nissan engine responded so well to the turbo - I bet some Nissan guy out there could tell you. It's not like no one's ever turboed a SR20DE before.

Your Jetta sounds like it was closer to 6-7hp per psi. That's what I hear most people get from their turbo's (non-intercooled).

Just don't tell me you're agreeing with the guy who said you won't even feel 7-9lbs of boost - if you are I'm wasting my time even responding to you.
