83616, Estimate my whp with new set up Posted by RicecarRST, Mar-11-05 11:38 AM
Im curious if any of you could give me an estimate on how much hp/whp is possible with my current setup that I am building as of now.
Obviously a 420A turbo setup
Block - Stock bore, Eagle Long rods, ARP rod bolts, JE Pistons 8.6, Total Seal rings, Clevite bearings, Melling oil pump
Head - milled (.005), ported and polished, 3 angle valve job w/ARP head studs, stock cams but possible stage 2 Crower Cams soon.
Intake - stock but also ported
Turbo set up - 14b ported, waste to atmosphere, custom log manifold, 2.5 aluminum piping, Turbo XS RFL, Turbo XS Dual Stage Boost control, 14lb actuator, Missing Link, FMIC from SRT-4, 2.5 downpipe, 3" turn down at bottom of downpipe (race only), no cat, 3" exhaust Magnaflow w/Magnaflow Race Muffler (daily driving)
Fuel set up - Portfueler Stage 4 kit w/Walbro 255 tuned in to 12.5 A/F with wideband O2 and digital read out and of course the Recal. kit for the Fueler
I am looking to run 14lbs daily driving on 93 octane and 22lbs racing with 114 octane. I know the 14b isnt the best choice but I think its a great start. But Im curious on what everyone thinks I will get when it comes to whp.

I estimate you should quit the benchracing and just take your shit to a dyno to find out for real. If you can afford to turbocharge and rebuild, you can pop another $50 for a couple pulls with wideband. :rolleyes

WOW! Thanks for the estimate. I will put it on a dyno when its all said and done. Although Im sorry to say but asking for an estimate isnt benchracing. Claiming hp#'s without dyno sheet is benchracing. Basically Id like to see if anyone has a similiar set up and what kind of numbers they came up with. What they ran into and possible fuel maps. Im sorry for asking maybe I came to the wrong site or someting but I thought this was here to help others with 420A setups. If youd like to help please do. Im just looking for feedback. Im not some little teenager I have been into building motors and drag racing for 15 years just not with this type of setup. So please reply with a little dignity and respect. Thank you for your constructive criticism. I do have my own wideband O2 with read out so I dont need a dyno with wideband. I need input on fuel mapping with the Portfueler and possible numbers.

Originally posted by RicecarRST Im sorry to say but asking for an estimate isnt benchracing. So what you're saying is, you aren't asking for an estimate of how much horsepower you can make on this set up, rather a range you might find yourself in or something? In that case, I'm going to take the lower compression, inexperience at 420A tuning, and small turbo into consideration and just throw out 180-220hp. Better? And why are you sorry to say this?
Originally posted by RicecarRST Claiming hp#'s without dyno sheet is benchracing. Taking a set up, which can be tuned an almost infinite amount of different ways, and asking for "how much hp can I expect" is bench racing. It's a step above asking what sort of times to expect your first outing to the track with it.
Originally posted by RicecarRST Basically Id like to see if anyone has a similiar set up and what kind of numbers they came up with. What they ran into and possible fuel maps. I don't think anyone else around here running a 14b has a Portfueler. I could be wrong, though. It happens a lot.
Originally posted by RicecarRST Im sorry for asking maybe I came to the wrong site or someting but I thought this was here to help others with 420A setups. Pfft. The sarcasm is weak in this one. Don't make me smack you.

Originally posted by RicecarRST Im not some little teenager I have been into building motors and drag racing for 15 years just not with this type of setup. So you know that it's a mute question to ask. Especially if you're just going to use this little snail to break in the motor and learn your tuning. To me, it would seem pretty damn pointless to bother spending time setting up maps for a turbo you have no intentions of running longer than a month or so. Just get the turbo you want to run and deal with your issues as you have to.
Originally posted by RicecarRST So please reply with a little dignity and respect. Both are earned. While your reply is more level-headed than most in your position, I hate sarcasm. And I think Blair was asking for this.
Originally posted by RicecarRST Thank you for your constructive criticism. You are quite welcome.

Hm. You might try searching this forum for anything regarding Portfueler or maybe even titling your post "Looking for Portfueler map information." The subject of this thread has benchracing written all over it whether you like it or not.
Ah well. It's Friday. It's 3/11. It's payday. Enjoy it and take my chiding in stride. At the very least, it's good to see another person interested in building up a 2GNT. :thumbsup
And Blair? You could never fill my shoes. LOL

yeah no more b-racing
Why are you going to spend all of that money on your setup and plan on using a 14b @ 22psi :shrug
YOu should at least get a 16g if you are going to use the same flange

83621, RE: Estimate my whp with new set up Posted by RicecarRST, Mar-11-05 12:45 PM
I plan on using the 14b because I have one. I am going to use this turbo to break in the motor and learn my Portfueler or until I can afford to get a much bigger turbo.

Sell it on scambay and save your money for a month or so and you can have a 16G.
SEARCH is your friend. This has good info on what others have, quite a few posted dyno #'s

When I decide to switch the turbo I wont waste my time with a S16G. It will have to be much bigger. Im thinking a Precision Turbo I think its the GT35. But for now I have a 14b so thats what Im using.

i dont think you are going to dyno much of anything considering how that 14b is so small.

83637, RE: Estimate my whp with new set up Posted by GSGoinFast, Mar-11-05 07:43 PM
i just dont get why people get so worked up about horsepower numbers. if you ask me, track times are much more important. i cant stand hearing people throw around hp numbers. like this douche in my class tells a kid with a WRX that he will gain 35hp from exhaust, i told him it would be more like 5-10, but i was wrong :rolleyes or when i dood with this civic told me it was 140hp stock, his intake and exhaust put him to 175... when i hear people throw around hp numbers, i cringe and it makes me think there people like the above... :nono just go find out on the dyno, or take it to the track.
4,908 watts

Stay tuned for Ripley's Believe It Or Not, where we will see that DR does, in fact know the differencet between moot and mute. All this and Tantric, Lateral G-forces tonight at ten on 2GNT. :+

Dammit. Just noticed that today. Fuckin a. And I say 311hp... at the alternator.
And Aaron, lateral Gs have everything to do with horsepower and quartermile times. Give me a break. :rolleyes I'm pretty sure you want absolutely ZERO lateral Gs when on a dyno or flying down the track. :P So they are something which could kill you, thus something important relating to hp and times.

Yet, lateral g force has absolutely NOTHING to do with horsepower, torque, or any engine modification what-so-ever.

Not too flame you dood but you picked the wrong car to be using a GT35R in. What do you think you are going to accomplish on the street with a turbo that big? IF this is going to be a drag only car or large high speed track car than it may be okay. I can spin all four on my Evo with a GT35R on launch, I dont think it will do too well on a fwd car and be prepared for some big time lag on a 2.0l, about 4400-4600 rpm spool up.

With the amount of money and fuel management that's supposedly going into your car the best you can do for a turbo is a 14b? You could max that piece of shit out with an SFMU...you don't need MS or the PortFueler for that. :wary

MS is some serious stuff and I wouldn't recommend it to a knob that's only interested in bench racing with a piece of shit 14b.

oh yeah, original poster you will get
197 whp and 204 wftlbs
according to my get a real fucking turbo calculator
