estimate my hp and 1/4 times

I just got my 93 yellow 5 speed rx-7. It's mildy modified and I was wondering what kind of hp my car's producing as well as what 1/4 mile and 0-60 times I could expect.

mods:

PF Exhaust
PF Intercooler
Greddy Elbow
Greddy BOV
downpipe
midpipe

Thanks,
Jordan

Well, with no boost controller or ecu, soon it will be making ZERO!

It sounds like you just want these numbers for bragging rights. Spend $50 and go to a local dyno. See what YOUR car actually makes. For even less cash, you can go to the strip and see how fast YOUR car is.

BTW, the Greddy elbow and BOV don't add HP for your info.

I'll *guess* 290 FWHP. You didn't mention cat back or an intake which I think would put you all together around 315 Flywheel taken together (DON'T necessarily interpret that as CB+Intake = 25 hp by the way with nothing else).

Your 1/4 mile times could be anywhere, I don't know your tires, any launch mods, or how good a driver you are.

acutally those mods will give him 0 fwhp, since the car is rear wheel drive

I agree with DaveDeco, take your car to the track and see what it runs, no one can debate the tape!
If you don't have an ecu, you should probably get one, then get it up on a dyno and do some tuning too

Damnit! I could've used that money for stickers

FWHP = FlyWheel HP

Your motor is like a big zit, it's about to pop.

uhhh..that was for Flywheel not Front wheel. Thought that was obvious since I used the word Flywheel there too.

Depends on brand and placement. Even more important is the quantity and harmony between them - there are simply certain stickers that placed together actually decrease your FWHP Just buy your stickers from a trusted source and you'll be fine.
