Nobody can give an accurate guess. Just get it dynoed.

Re: How much HP?

Like ducky said, impossible to guess. It only takes a small boost leak to put you at less than stock But consider that the t25 really doesnt support more than 250 Whp, and thats more than most give it credit for. But my drag times at my weight support that. So thats the best case. You are somewhere between stock 185 or so, and there.

Re: How much HP?

Yes, joe nailed it. WHP. Once you mod the car you have no idea what the engine power is. So its useless to quote it. Go by whp, since we can all get that from the dyno or from your mph at the track.

Re: How much HP?

Thanks for enlightening us. Thats the crank HP for the weak ass 1G. 2g is 210. With whp in the 180-185 range. Although DOugs Dyno Power had a galant vr4 that dynoed 190 whp stock for some reason.

Re: How much HP?

First, start using punctuation or dont bother posting. Second, try to avoid making patronizing, condecending remarks to someone that goes to the track twice a week for the last 4 years. MAybe I'm just in a bad mood, but it irritates me none the less.

The weight difference between the two cars with the same options is 100-150 pounds. The HP difference is alledgedly 15 hp. At just over 3000 pounds, each 100 pounds requires about 10 hp. So it in fact evens itself out. And perhaps this is why stock for stock the cars run the same times. Its close enough that you cant back up the comment you just made. The 1g's advantage is in price and a larger stock turbo, not so much in weight. The only real weight difference I see is that I cant bring myself to remove my pretty leather 2g interior, while if I had a 1g, it would be stripped down to 2700 pounds in about 3 hours. Stock for stock its not worth mentioning though...
