Thread: looking for 450whp on stock sr20det...

well elevation not sure but am in the carribean am using a aem ems series 2 and msd 6al ignition box and hvac coil

i noticed he said ALL WHEEL DRIVE... could that be apart of the reason?

haha i missed that; however, even if there is 10% drivetrain loss difference between FWD and AWD, we're talking 405whp on a FWD? Also it is even tuned on AEM EMS, so coupled that with water meth, I think he's got a 410 AWHP at least or 450 FWHP. Maybe the correction factor is different on their dyno,

my goal is 450 awhp i am using a pro-tech long type manifold was thinking it maybe a bit restrictive wanted to try a equal length tubular mani and see if that helps what do u guys think , and isn,t the drivetrain loss a bit more than 10% on a awd ?

Yes you are correct; awd drivetrain loss is more like 20-25% however the difference between fwd and awd is probably 10%.

but do u think the 3076r can get the car to the 450 awhp range

No not on all wheel hp.

even with a good flowing manifold you should max out around 400awhp. This is with a good tune as well.

Since we're talking about safe power levels for a stock det, is 400whp safe with 88mm bore? I wouldn't need to sleeve the block would I? Everybody is so positive that a stock det can hold 400+ whp so I figure 88mm bore would just make that power goal easier AND it'd have forged pistons. Makes me think 400whp is waaayyy easier than I thought. Screw that damn T25.....

then i will need to step up to gt35r then
