Going to the dyno today, any guesses?
I am going to Stage 6 here in town today to get my car dyno'ed.
I am hoping for high 200's at the wheels, but we shall see.
I will post pics of the dyno and the slip tomorrow.

Okay boys and girls, can you say "My car is slow"?
186@7000rpms 8lbs.
Don't laugh too hard, you might burst a vein.
I was very surprised and very embarassed.
I was lean (13) at low rpms and okay (11) at high rpms.
I am thinking about turning up the boost to about 12-14lbs, rejetting the carb, changing the plugs and trying it again next week.
I was in such shock, I left without paying. I will be going back today to make payment for making an *** of myself.

Coming from someone who admittedly knows relatively little about turbocharging, your dyno #'s aren't far off from what I expected. On a stock port I'm not surprised with those #'s at all. That said, 186rwhp is probably ~twice what your car had pre-turbo at the wheels. I don't think you did bad at all, certainly nothing to be embarassed over. Cheer up

Thanks for the post man, I was just hoping for better numbers.
If anything, I am determined to get into the high 200's and I am going to work on it starting today.

I know the turbo has tremendous potential, but I just installed the air/ fuel meter the night before and really have not tuned the carb perfectly.
The guy down there (Tracy), gave me some advice on jetting, so I will follow that and crank the boost, probably to 14 lbs.
Does anyone know what the max boost on a T76 is?

If you get that thing street ported and tuned right those HP figures will be close to double your previous amount...believe me I know. Good luck man, don't be so hard on yourself.

I think putting more stress on your motor by turning up the boost will hurt in more in the long run with those stock exhaust ports. I don't want to see another first gen on the side of the road. If you want to see a great increase in power with your current setup...get it ported. Even a mild street port will be better then forcing those small exhaust ports to do more work.

The guy I bought the car from said that the motor is ported, and it lops on startup, but I looked at the intake ports and they looked stock.
I am guessing that this guy would have at least the exhaust ports ported running a turbo.

Phew *wipes sweat off of forehead* I feel much better.
I really don't worry much about the intake ports as much as I do the exhaust ports.
I'm wondering are you getting an turbo lag and how is your clutch doing? (I didn't read through all the replies so I apologize for coming into this discussion a little late.)

There is some lag, but this is my first turbo car, so I have nothing to compare it to.
Dual friction clutch is holding up well, it was basically new when I bought the car.
Traction is a problem though, keep spinning the tires.

186rwhp at 8lbs boost is reasonable with a stockport. Pushing up the boost further without dowelling may not be a good idea. You will also be getting to the stage where driveshaft, diff and clutch modifications should be considered. Without a good intercooler I suggest 9-10 ib should be your max boost with another 2 with a frontmounted IC. In an early response I suggested 200 hp max for your set-up, with a little fine tuning this should be possible.
OK porting will give you more power, but a strip down and port job is an expensive option at this stage
