I had a question, ive been watching and listenting to all the tuners talk about the power increase per psi on their turbo'd cars...but how many hp's does the 3sgte make per pound of boost? i know its somewhere on here but i cant find it. someone told me for every psi its like 5 hp? different people tell me different things but then again, they dont have the almighty 3SGTE!
and if the stock 3sgte is 225hp at stock boost with a fmic, how much boost can you turn it up to safely? (lagos, tweak anybody?) just doing research....im a question machine... sorry about the retread but im computer illiterate and didnt know how to get to move it since nobody was answering elsewhere... --------------------  QUOTE (Galcobar @ Oct 15, 2008 - 2:44 AM)  You want power but have no money.

WOW....Thats alot! so a stock 3sgte runs about 160 whp as stated but thats on stock boost? and if you increase the boost (takign appropriate measures) you would gain about 40 hp @ the wheels? that sounds pretty good! i didnt know the stock 3sgte runs only 160whp. alot of people say that they beat the swapped out civics regularly but i heard the h22's and b16's are like 180hp i think? how can we regularly beat lighter cars that are 180 hp on a basic 3sgte swap with a FMIC?
