I believe there are people on here with 340hp or more on the stock twins.

Here's a start;

About 380 is really pushing the limit of the stock twins. One person that I know of actually ran high 10's in the quarter on stock twins - cold day, good launch, etc.

350 is really about the sane upper limit. Past that and you have dramatically decreased turbo life.

thanks folks!

i know, searching is the key... but isn't this root sense of a forum, to exchange experiences and knowledge!

i'm going to put a 13b-rew in my fc, as for the better street driving with low end power of the twins while not having to abstain from high end hp

so a reliable (2-piece apex) 350-380rwhp is possible?

I am SO glad you mentioned this. A lot of people don't realize that's what the forums are created for, sharing knowledge with fellow enthusiasts. That's why i tried to help you out with the figure i gave, from the information i recalled and posted a link to further help you with your question.

Thank you for understanding how the system is supposed to work!

But it can get pretty annoying when the same question is asked 10 times a day. Most people don't want to respond to the same thing everyday, or every week, month, etc. I believe there was a person who posted up his findings on the stock twins power plotted on a graph less than a week ago, that would have answered his questions right there with more than enough info. Now he could start asking the different mods and the best way to go about them to reach that level to start an actual topic of conversation instead of wanted just one answer and getting flamed.

ok guys, i understand!

as for rx7turboboy: thanks man, i appreciate your help (will check out that link)

for boostin13b: i'm sure you also once tried to find out anything about your rotary, scrolling down dozens of pages in dozens of different forums ending up annoyed and trying to post it, thinking to be the first to ask it (or even one of a few)... thanks for understanding


as i'm able to figure out: the stock twins are good until about 350-380whp -that would be a lot at the flywheel thoug- and i have to mind not boosting them too high as it will shorten their life??!!
'cause personnaly i think they are great for street use... they give that low end pressure even my tII (quite small turbo) was not able to push in stock turbo mode!

and you also gotta know, not everyone on this forum is able to see everything you see. that's why people ask the questions that may have been asked before. i'm pretty sure you have done it a few times boostin13b.

I've asked very few questions just because I do search, look at my post count compared to how long I've been a member, I've actually been a member for a lot longer, just had to re-register for some reason. Most of my posts are chatting with local guys pretty much. For the most part you should be able to find just about anything you need by searching, these cars are old and see the same problems over and over. very seldon do we see a brand new problem pop up, then we band together to get it figured out.
