what kind of power can i expect?

i'm looking at purchasing a FD with a new reactive street ported motor, hks exhaust, resonated midpipe, aftermarket DP (can't remember who makes it), non seq. set up. stock turbos, boost 12-13 psi. only other mods are reliablity mods. he has a power fc that i'll be getting with the car. once that is tuned, what kinda of power will i be looking at? just looking for a ball park rwhp number. the motor has about 1000 miles on it. new clutch and flywheel.

thanks!

Not sure that you should run 13 psi on stock intercooler. Stock intake will be a limiting factor also. With those mods, the intercooler won't flow very well. At 11psi, you should be around 270 rwhp.

oh sorry... it is running a 2 row front mount i/c. what other mods could get me me to the 300 wheel mark. its still running stock intake, so i guess it could free hp's there. maybe port the intake manifold? bigger throttle body? what are the stock turbo able to push psi wise and still be reliable. they are rebuilt turbos on the street ported motor with 1000 miles on it.

thanks!

If your really buying an FD, you better do some research before throwing more parts at it.

i would say with some good tuning you should be looking at around 300whp @12psi on the parts mentioned

You will be over 300 already. I will guess 320-340 RWHP at 13 psi.

I don't think so with a stock intake. Too restrictive .......... of cousre, it probably doesn't have a stock intake either

A non-sequential set of twins functions just like a single anyhow, so your basically in the same boat with less HP potential.

To answer your question though, with all the bolt ons, proper fueling and tuning with a street port your looking around 340 give or take 15
