How about you ask an easier question? Determining horsepower by reading your mods is akin to mind reading. Its not that easy. Got any 1/4 mile slips? that could narrow it down a bit.

Like j-rat said, there are alot of other things involved to determine how much power you can make with those mods. Such as what shape the engine is in just to name one. Also, no two ports are the same. If it is pretty large, you could prolly use a piggy back to tweak the timing since the port timing has been changed. But who knows, anywhere from 150-180whp.

Alright, so you have a bonez downpipe WITH racing beat headers?
Adding **** to your sig doesn't get you more horsepower lol.

I'll give you some advice. Your HP will be higher if you put back your NA fuel pump... lol

The specs of the exhust system were only told to me by the previous owner. Since I didn't have them installed myself...I just went on what he said.

Also...I know for a fact having a turbo II pump for my car isn't a bad thing. I know (Chris at Banzai) leaned it out mostly, but you always add fuel right before the secondaries come on. So it can't hurt. So your sarcasim isn't needed. Thanks

Yea, I mean I was hoping for around 180. I mean for as much money i've put into it. How could I be making 155-160 whp when stock it's 162 to the flywheel. I know your counting drivetrain loss... but still. Intake, 2300$ rebuild streetport at J&R Rortarys (ithink thats their name), headers, full exhust, S afc, oh and pineapple racing port sleeves ( I forgot). I mean i've put around 4,000 at least in preformance mods. I just was hoping for a little more. My local dyno is booked till god knows when sooooo........

Yea..I know I can't break that barrier. But if i can reach 20whp or close...I'll be happy. I'm saving up for a bike. Most bang for your buck. The money i've invested already...i could of bought a gxsr.

With those mods, assuming it was a fairly large street port, and with the fuel maps getting tweaked, I think you might be able to get 180. Its prob more like 160-170, though. Just take it to a dyno.
Also, jack up your car and clear up whats in the exhaust system. You have at least 2 things that go in the same place. I think that you prob have the rb header and bonez cat, but who knows.

What he said ^:

Also just so you know Pinneapple Racing sleeves add something like 2hp ;o! And we can't determine alot when you don't have the specifications on the streetport.

Good luck!

Yea..I know the sleeves don't do much...but hey...take what you can get right. I dont' have any time slips or specs. But my best race was against a prelude sh edition...it was dead even. He's my friend and I know he can drive. I know theres millions of variables in that and it doesn't really help.

Really? Because the bonez cat bolts up directly to the header and the y-pipe (or catback). Unless he did some weird custom fab, but i still dont see how the presilencer would fit in. In fact, the only presilencer i know of that bonez makes is the downpipe/presilencer combo, which connects the stock exhasut man. to the stock y-pipe.

Yea the sarcasm isn't needed, your right
I thought you put on all that stuff or at least thought you put it all on, had no idea thats how you bought it.
Either way, I still think that im right about the fuel pump.

Besides, you have a car thats on the road and running. I don't. We'll leave it at that heh..
sorry about the sarcasm

No problem bro (Black Plague). Yea...the exhust setup is messed up in my mind. I know I have a RB header and Greddy Sp cat back. whats between them is a mystery to me. LOL. All I know is that it sounds great.

Easy question. Is it a black or shiny pipe? Or a cat underneath it?
