Horsepower potential

[turbotib]

Ok, this is gonna be long but if you guys could look this over and tell me approxamitely how much hp at the flywheel it will give me ...individually.
Turbo & Intercooler (Alpine)
2.5" Exhaust (HVE)
Ceramic Coated 4-1 Headers (HVE)
Carbon Fiber CAI (HVE)
BBTB (Sharkracing)
Also wondering if I'm leaving anything out here and if what ...what do i need? This is all for 2.0 (2001). Thanks <img src=/images/forums/snitz/angel.gif width=25 height=20 border=0>

First off, you can't have a turbo, exhaust header, and HVe cold air intake all at the same time.

But I'd guess with the Alpine kit you'll see <i>maybe</i> 180hp to the wheels.

Thanks, so ...ok with turbo 180 at wheels ...does that include the exhaust and BBTB ...and what else could be done for more horse.

I'm not the most mechanical person.

i thought turbos could add up to 100% hp to a car?

I'd suggest going with a different turbo kit.

The Alpine kit comes with a small TD04 turbo and a relatively small intercooler.

We will be selling a turbo kit here soon, and KORE is also working on a kit.

ok, was just wondering overall everything i could do (in a turbo direction) that i could do to my car and how much much approximate power i can get ...without going to the extremes and adding an engine in the trunk or nitrous.<img src=/images/forums/snitz/thumbup.gif width=25 height=18 border=0>

I actually does.. at the engine power it should be around 230hp. yet the hp mentioned above is at wheels ^^ which is engine hp - the weight of the body. Should be around 180 @ wheels..

Your only limitation in How much HP you can make is the thickness of your wallet.

With just the Alpine turbo kit and a 3" exhaust, tuned properly, 200 to 225 to the wheels should be possible. However, plan on spending another $2000-$3000 on top of the cost of the alpine kit to make that happen.

As others have stated before, headers won't work with a turbo.

Other things you should consider to increase your HP output of the Alpine turbo kit.

Bored Throttle Body
Bored Intake Manifold
Ported head, and re-worked valves
Better pistions (lower compression)
Stronger Rods
Stronger clutch
Stronger axles
Quaife Limited Slip Differential
Haltec EK6

I highly suggest you buy Corkey Bell's book Maximum Boost and read it cover to cover several times before you lay down your hard earned cash on a turbo kit from ANYONE! It will be the best $20 you ever spent on a car mod (if you plan on going turbo that is)
