i'd say for safe/conservative 400whp on pump 93, you'd need FP green (if you arent using alk inj).... maybe you'd get close if your using 280 cams....


either way you wont go 400whp with that evo8 turbo and pump 93 alone

Stock turbo has gotta go. I've heard it's really maxing out at 380HP.

But I guess if you inject it you might get there, but too much stress on the stocker. That's why I went to the Kelfords and now getting a Buschur hybrid turbo.

Also, just a question, why cam gears on stock cams??

I am no Guru.......But, Based on your listed mods, I believe you're a long ways away from 400whp.......You'll need cams, fuel pump, injectors & an ECU flash......Peace =)

that mod list will get you no where near 400whp not even sniffing it you need alot more and as stated stock turbo should really be upgraded and you need cams since your a evo 8

cams gears were on the car when i got it .. i have a set of bc 280 cams but im not sure i want to go with BC they were pretty much given to me in trade for work done... Id like to stay with the stock turbo due to turbos are way too expensive for my taste right now lol

No cams? and you think you will be close to 400whp? in your dream... 350whp if you are lucky...

Hey bro, I don't know how you can get 400 with what you go because I can't even with my mods. I suppose my clutch is going bad at the time of the dyno tune and perhaps a leak somewhere. But none the least, good luck though. I agree with the green, Kelford cams, and upgrade valve springs to support the Kelford cams, you should get to your goal.

Your closer to 300whp then 400whp. A set of cams, and a good tune, plus your current mods = aprox 330whp on a dynojet.

nah even with e-85 your not going to hit it. Get head studs and cams and use e-85 and youll be over 400hp. Theres no way your hitting 400 with out cams like stated above. Sorry its just not going to happen.
