hey, zach call me, have your tracking #

as far as dyno #'s go you should be right around 230rwhp at 10psi
thats about an average to set your goal around

Years ago with a stock 13BT,stock TII turbo and stock TMIC. I ran 13.5s consistantly on about 14psi.Id harbor a guess of about 250 flywheel HP.It was pretty hard on the stock turbo and the engine was a junkyard S4 with bad water seals that gave up about 6 months after the swap.
My current,fresh S5 TII engine and TO4B is faster,with higher compression and about 14psi of much calmer boost from the bigger turbo and FMIC.Its not working nearly as hard,although Im pretty much maxing out the stock S5 EFI.Havent raced it at the track,I lost interest.A safe bet would be about 300 flywheel HP.Its quite a bit quicker than my boss's 400HP,13.5 second CTS-V.

PORT the TII block while you aren't using it zac, then run the **** outta the 12a and swap them out.

aaahhaha, i know man. i'm not sure what i'm doing yet with that. i may run the **** outta the 12a, then swap the tII in and while i'm running that one, port and build the 12a all in all i want a 12a monster more than anything. WOOOO!

I just bought a 84 turbo SE LTD, 12AT and am planning on a conversion to 13bt (S-5) when the 12 a lets loose.
I got a Kouki FC to strip for parts, as I plan on doing the entire front crossmember swap AKA abeomid style
Props Abe

after studing it I decided to use the entire FC wiring harness including the stock gauge set and AC controls, its easier than meshing the Fb/FC harness (all of m stuff is JDM and I can't find any english language service manuals)

+ everytime I go to Amemiya's now days they just give me that crazy "yu ain't spent no money here recently look) and give me some crazy off the wall reason why they can't do a 4K job for 4K, and instead want 10 K I have a turbo from my cosmo that I decided to keep and use now I am busy picking up odds and ends like injectors, fuel pumps FPR's etc. my target goal is about 350 RWHP or so. think I will stop by Vanna, or Pan speed tommorrow to find out how much this is gonna hurt for the computer work....

ummm, how does that help me? lol!!!

350 wheel HP from the stock EFI??!
No chance there,the AFM wont flow enough air for that kinda power,and the stock spark curve wont make that likely,either.I assume your gonna run the stock 2nd gen EFI since you mentioned swapping harnesses and stuff.If your gonna run a standalone EFI system,then wiring wont be an issue since the engine will have an all new EFI harness.....

250+whp and ran a 12.57 or something like that@10psi

mikey D: this was in a 1st gen? what is your exact setup? if i could even run a 13.0 flat with my current setup i will be so fu#*ing happy!
