This is all on a stock hx35 for now. i'm just trying to figure it out what kind of power i will be making some day so i know what to tell dave for the power rating i want to be at. Then i will include i want to pull and up my turbo to an htb2 or compareable someday

they are horrendously PUMPED
hehehehe. Well id say ur right on the money. Here are some baselines with mine, with a banks plate and a manual transmission full forward I am about 330 rwhp, with a 100 i estimate myself to be at just around 350 or so. i need to get back on the rollers. But it will be after my shelf mods and a clutch are in..Wanna is right, ur clutch is gonna hate you! mine hates me with a passion...

That auto is going to need some work to hold that setup. Melting pistons is why you need gauges a pyro or also called a EGT exhaust gas temperature gauge is the one that you'll need to monitor that. The pyro is tapped in to your exhaust manifold and monitors exhaust gases leaving the cylinders. If the gases get to hot in the cylinders it can melt a piston. I use 1250* as my stopping point when I hit that I start getting out of the trottle and gearing down to cool everything off.

Your EGT's will probably be pretty darn high with the plate all the way foward. You need some more air to keep that lil' puppy cool.

guys i have a 97 auto with a 180 pump not a stick with a 215. now how come everyone says that this combo will melt my motor if i up grade the turbo and trans along with the reas of the stuff i should be fine right
I don't think you need another turbo the one you have is just fine. A 100 plate is a very agressive plate it flows alot more fuel than your stock plate and that makes your exhaust gases hotter. You won't melt anything if you get yourself a set of gauges. I run the 100 plate and 370's and have no problems, I tow with this rig and can still keep things in check. If you run it at WOT all the time or tow a load up a steep grade to long and your pyro is reading 1300, 1500 to long its going to melt the pistons. but if you just keep an eye on the pyro you'll be just fine.
