i have a plan to make 300 hp by january. i was thinking this.

sep- gauges/pump tweaks
oct- old smokey pin(i dont want to grind my own), stage III
Nov- BHAF, Valve body?
Dec- ?
Tax return- Bosch 190's

so i have about a $200-300 a month spending limit. you can suggest what would be better (except the fuel pin grinding)

do you thing this would make 300 hp, and how much torque

 

I dont think you are quite there. 190s and stock turbo, I think will be in the mid to high 200s. You need to consider EGTs, opening up your exhaust and better turbo.

 

well what type of turbo will i need? i would have a h1c 60/16, what more could i need. i mean a hx35 wouldnt do any better, with the same compressor/housing sizes. i wouldnt need like a s3000 would i. or could my money be better spent with a pier cam or even a head recut/rebuild?

 

I would say if you maxed out your pump you could just squeak up there. Someone on here has made 301hp with 190's.

 

Do you have an upgraded comp. housing? Your sig doesn't say....

What do you want to use the 300hp for?

 

no i dont have a upgraded compressor, but if you look on my list for mods, one is included. and i want to use it for hot rodding/ towing

 

add the 3200 gov spring when you do the pump tweaks

 

List of mods? Nor really sure what you mean. Anyway...

A decent hybrid (htt satge III, etc) will support 300 hp but I don't think you'll be able to put all that to the ground when towing. My best guess for my truck is maybe 265-ish at the rears and I never EVER use all my pedal when I've got a load on. 300 rwhp on a 1st gen equates to a silly amount of torque. Get a little slap happy with the loud pedal with 10k out back and carnage will ensue. As was said, 190's can get you close. I'd look into a fuel pressure gauge.

 

my list of mods is at the top of the post, i have a tapped banjo bolt but i have to figure out how im gonna run to a gauge electrical or mech, but will this setup let me keep my 20 mpg if im not too pedal happy

 

others with an auto speak up....

I've stopped all upgrades on the 92 because all I am doing at this point is creating higher tranny temps. If you want to make 300hp to the ground with your auto something is gonna have to be done (at least a torque converter). I would figure that into the equation before injectors. With stock non-ic, hx-35, and pump mods i can floor my truck and it will jump to 2500rpm and stay there through all the gears.... not loading the turbo like it should or getting the real power range of the motor to the ground.

 

i agree. The only reason my engine is still mechanically stock is because I have an auto. If I had a 5-spd Id already have the fuel pin cut and pump cranked...at the very least....


But if I ever convert my current 93 to a 5spd or get another 1st gen thats a 5 spd, i would like to hit at least 300hp.

 

alright what would i take for the tranny to be up to snuff.

i was thinking a hughes rebuild 15xfm IIRC

and a trans go shift kit

will this make it safe for 300hp or do i need a cooler just incase

what are opinions on all of these products, good/bad/ugly

any better products for under $650 prefeably
