I been thinkn bout upgrading my turbo and wanted to know how much power can the stock motor handle. At how much hp would I need to upgrade the internals?

 

It's called the search button. You could always call one of the vendors (Bushur, TurboTrix..ect) to find out. But the stock motor is good for more than 400hp.

 

I could of use the help without the smart remark, but thanx anyways.

 

not to be an *** but I would have told you the same but areet beat me to it haha

 

Seriously, this is a question that comes up about once every couple of weeks on this forum. You'll find a wealth of information covered in past threads.

To answer your question, there are guys who are running up to 380 to 450WHP on stock internals. Generally on the upper end of that range you'll find that people have upgraded at least the head bolts with ARP hardware. It's a stout motor and if properly tuned and cared for it can put down alot of power with just basic bolt-ons.

 

I would say the general consensus is 400whp if you strengthen your motor (ARP, gasket, etc)

 

just answer the dude...

Sparco evo still have stock buttom end and they are pushing 410 whp. This is no drag car. It's a full road cource car. A drag car might see 500whp every now and the, but a road cource car sees 8K rev and 450whp constantly.

So 450whp daily driving is good.

 

just saw 2 vishnu stage 3 cars put down over 400whp on a Dyno Dynamics dyno. one put down 401whp on a 93-race gas mix, and the other put down 424whp on a more concentrated mix of 93(just a little bit) and race gas(I think c-16. could be wrong). both car where stock internals. the only engine mods where arp head studs and cams. both car where extremely fast. I couldn't believe it.
