It all depends on the tune but somewhere around 30-45 hp

you'll get close to that if by "redoing" your exhaust you mean the downpipe. the catback isn't going to really net you shit. but if you do an intake, tune, downpipe, and internals, you'll be sitting close to 280whp.

[09Speed3Z]

WTF happened here.

It went from 400whp to "How maNY horsepowers do I haz with intake y0!?!?!?"

[Domino81]

lol - this thread haz come down with a case of teh ghaiz...

Yeah I have the Cobb SRI already and an aftermarket exhaust i didnt put on the car. It sounds great I just dont like not knowing what it is. I have looked for a brand stamp or anything on it. Just can't figure out what it is.

[Dizzy Turbo]

So the exhaust is not sufficient because you don't know the name?

How to make 400 ponies:

"Dont hit a bucket"

Sorry @eric@edgeautosports .. i had too. Best of luck homie

[8.5MS3]

if he had 500, the bucket would have just exploded and he would be fine

That's not what I said, I just don't like not knowing what is under my car.

[The Panda]

on my all stock pu I hit 269whp and 317tq... just saying but 300 on just sri and dp nope...

[Onelovesoccer]

@Usafguy, that sucks you don't know what it is. i don't really have any ideas as to how to find that out either. i feel like it'll generally say somewhere what it is.

lets get this thread back on track. you'll need a lot more done to hit 400whp. if that isn't your goal, this is the wrong thread to be discussing it.

Originally Posted by eric@edgeautosport Hey guys since our cars are developing more and more everyday with great aftermarket support it’s becoming easier to make a reliable, daily driven 400whp Speed. To make this power reliably the two most important things are a solid tune and proper maintenance to your vehicle! I can’t stress this enough guys. To check out you can do on stock internals see this thread. big turbo stock block thread Everyone’s results are going to vary due to tunes, dyno’s, hard parts, motor health, weather, and elevation etc. Now this can be accomplished on just the stock injectors and an upgraded high pressure fuel pump. You will be very close to maxing out anywhere from 390whp-410whp depending on the tune and fuel choice. Please don’t ask if you can use less than 91 octane, the answer is no. Let’s get on to the parts that make this possible! Remember when building a car to this level do it once correctly and you will never have to do it again so don’t skimp on anything! Lol Hard Parts • Intake (Big MAF recommended, but not necessary in some cases) • Big turbo inlet pipe • Intercooler (Front mount recommended but TMIC will be able to get you there) • Downpipe ( 3”) • Catback Exhaust • Bigger turbo (Choice of turbo varies on everyone’s desires of the drivability of the car) • Colder spark plugs • Motor mounts- You are definitely going to need a RMM but the PMM & TMM are something to seriously consider at this power level • Injector Seals ( These are highly recommended but not necessary. The factory seals will wear over time so it’s better to upgrade before they go bad.) • Manifold (Recommended but not needed, there are many stock manifold 400whp cars) • Upgraded boost controller is highly recommended

Good post, which covers the high points.

Just FYI,

The stock CBE can support over 400whp (I am doing it); however, I have not measured my post turbine backpressure to see how much of a restriction it might be at this point (probably not trivial).

It wouldn't surprise me it if was costing me 10-20HP, but if cash is tight an upgraded CBE can wait.

[EdgeAutosport.com]

Yeah guys lets try and keep this thread on track.

[smurugby12]

Ya this is actually a very useful thread when the time comes to upgrade. Thanks Eric.

So let's not let this thread kick the bucket and fade into the forum abyss, like Eric's car.

[ABloodBrother]

Agreed. Real helpful @eric@edgeautosport. You guys keep posting things like this an my bank account keeps draining hahah. Looking forward to getting these numbers in the near future.

Side note. Some of these guys could prolly use a new tune. Some of those numbers seem low

bump we need to get more big turbo speeds out there.

[Domino81]

Donate to me... I'll make it happen.

[8.5MS3]

hes selling me his whole kit for 20 dorra and a manjob

[Domino81]

I'd exchange a blowie for a 2871 or 3071...

[EdgeAutosport.com]

my custom turbo kit will be going up for sale

[anavrinIV]

I'll take the responsibility of being the east coast edge sponsor car....I know that NC could definitely use another BT speed

i said manjob

if you dont know what that is, you cant afford it

I would redo everything if I get another speed.

[8.5MS3]

just make sure you add a bucket protector this time

[dpolseno41]

I haz terboh?

[stogi1knobi]

good stuff here. subbd

would probably be fine removing mufflers and straight-piping it.

I'm considering doing that just to see if there's any real difference.

Except, I need a quieter exhaust...

I am thinking Cobb CBE eventually...

Sorry, i meant for testing purposes. before you spend upwards a grand on a bunch of metal tubing ;p
