blacknightteg · 03-04-2008, 02:19 PM

so since im looking to swap into my teg a gsr engine. i am wandering what type of numbers i am looking at getting with a stock motor. I have heard around 220-230, but i want some other peoples opinions on numbers. is it safe to do it on a stock motor and not a built one? please enlighten me!

we typically tune a stock gsr motor to 300-325whp safely.

Stock numbers for a B18C1? 185fwhp, 120ish torque, and your best bet is to go to full-race.com and check out the prostreet stage 2 kit... They have examples there of what it does.

stock whp on an n/a b18c1 is 185whp?!...try 145-150whp and if you're talking boosted that's still pathetic. even at low boost they should put don 220whp

think he means flywheel hp... fwhp, not front wheel hp... sounds a lil closer, but if he is talking bout boosted, that is a bs #

u r right, never crossed my mind. maybe he got his #'s in two dif places (magazines).. meaning he read it somewhere. just trying to clarify, not lead this post outside the subject

Hi i got a GSR aswel the spec is as follows 170BHP 135 Torque 0-60 7.8 unless you have it in a different shell. I want a turbokit for my GSR aswel looking at the Greddy turbo kit is this good? its a direct bolt on will i need to lower compression also would i need anything else to run this kit properly. or is it ok as it is? heellllllpppp

greddy turbo kit is ok. as stated i prefer to make my own. not it's not a direct bolt-on. your compression ratio is dependent on hte type of turbo and how much boost you plan on running. you still need some form of ems

jjtizzle · 04-03-2008, 06:06 AM

it comes with ems, only planning to run low boost atm as i aint got the dough to tune my bottom end, i got aload of skun2 mods like cams camgears, inlet mani, fuel pressure reg fuel rail will the turbo kit still work effeciently even tho they based on stock engines?
