How much HP can my EVO 9 motor produce before i need to start reinforcing my internals?

 

I think with stock turbo, internals and meth, you can hit 400whp tops... and that'd be a generous 400

 

All cars are different. There isn't an exact set number in which your car will break at, but more along the lines of what you have done. But then you really should be asking yourself, "do i really want to take the chance of doing major damage to a $35,000 car just to not spend $1,000 dollar (estimate) on beefing up some stuff". Your ride bro.

 

The simplistic answer is somewhere around 500-550whp.

Unfortunately, asking this question the way you did indicates not understanding cars very well, so I would suggest doing a LOT of research on why there really is no answer to your question, and why it's very risky modding to that level of power without reinforcing the internals (though still possible if done properly).

 

Is not that i dont know a lot about cars i just wanted to know how much can my stock block make. No need for comments like that, its just a simple question. I appreciate all of your input. The reason why i ask is cause in the near future Im going to upgrade the turbo. I have a great tuner and he does excellent work and Im not going to risk blowing my motor. I know that the block can withstand a certain amount of HP but then again I went from a fully built Honda GSR motor into my EVO. Again thanks.

 

It's not a simple question, that's the problem. If you know about cars, you know there's not some magical cutoff where the motor suddenly fails. It could fail at 400whp, or it could be fine at 550whp. It depends on many factors. People have even gone beyond 550whp without failure, but for how long and how often is it used?

YOu have a IX SE, not a IV SE, right?

 

there's only one way to find out...
