How much power will I make? UPDATED

[Ryan Singh]

Before all this, I had a stock 7 bolt with a K&N filter, big T28 turbo, Megan DP and a Greddy cat back...the GReddy PE to be exact...Trust one off'd it for me.  
Annnnyway, that's what I had...also had a 2.5" testpipe for a while until I had to aircare last year and that's when I got the hi-flo one.

So with those mods, I have no idea what I made...and my car is auto. Stock manual is 225 and auto is 215 I think. I'm guessing 260 at crank?

The DP and the GReddy were 3" all the way

[Robert Vorley]

Well just for comparison:

Marke had:

2.3L
cp 9:1 pistons ceramic coated.
68hta
kelford 264/260 cams
2g head
evo intake mani.

and he made

365 whp & 300 wtq.
32 psi spike dropping to 24.

Pretty good numbers.

GL on the dyno!!

300 is my goal too so seeing the progress, or evolution, of your car is good to see.  It's all well and good to say " I have 350 hp" but when you can compare it to your own, old, set-up, which was xxx hp, that helps everyone on the forum.  As far as being impressed, Rob's right, more or less, about hp#'s; however, I'm impressed with how many different things you can do to an engine regardless of the final Hp #.

 

   
...Trust one off'd it for me.

Not sure what you mean there Ryan. 

Anyhow, good luck dude.

[Ryan Singh]

Oh nice to have that info Rob!
Thank you

Back in 2001 when I got my car, I ordered a full 3" GReddy Power Extreme cat back for it. When I ordered it, they told me that GReddy only makes 400 of these for North America every year, and all 400 had already been shipped and (probably) sold.
The list price was something like $800-$900 US for it back then.
So I spoke to the GReddy North America rep (Toshi), and I talked him into getting them to "one-off" my exhaust for me.  

I really REALLY wanted it.
So, after all was said and done...and after 3 long months, it finally arrived with a final price tag of $1580.00 CAD

I know I could have got a different one for way cheaper, and I probably am the only one in Canada to ever get GReddy to one off them anything....but who cares. You only live once, it feel's good to buy expensive shit once in a while.

[Ivan Skare]

Id go with a bigger turbo on a 2.3. All that work and expense for 300 to the wheels ? Get a bigger turbo and turn up the boost lol.

[Ryan Singh]

Eventually I will, but for now I just need it to be back on the road...lol, it's been parked since April. All the work isn't to make 300 at the wheels now...it's for later when I decide to do more, everything else will be in place for whatever my goals will be then.

[kevin derhouson]

people get pretty caught up in hp numbers anyways, 300 awhp (especially on RGs mustang dyno) with a responsive turbo and a wide powerband is pretty fun..

also something to be said about not pushing your setup to the max to just be a dyno queen.

[andrew volcz]

Myself and shawn at RG both felt that 300-400whp mustang corrected were the most fun and ideal street setups.  Much more than that, things had the potential to go very wrong alot faster and often, or parts started to wear or break faster.  Each to their own of course.

[Ryan Singh]

Yeah, once the Talon's done, I'm probably going to chill out on putting any more money into it for a while. My soon to be born son will probably be the one to blow it up next. Lol

[Ryan Singh]

Finally finished, picking it up this weekend foo's! 

[Brett Haviland]

oohhh let us know how the break in numbers went!

[Ryan Singh]

So I drove it home on Sat morning and besides from running pretty rough, it feels gooooood.

Needs a tune pretty bad but I need to break it in before it can be tuned. It'll be parted until June when I have some time off and put some km's on it but all in all, I'm very optimistic. 

[Rob Armstrong]

Fuck the break in. Get it broke in on the dyno.  With a low boost tune.
Then do a oil change. 
Then just drive it.

Much like overclocking a CPU, I hears ya.

Ya, like maybe 4 Intel Xeon E5-2697 cpu's at $2800 a piece!
