Ok, I have set my power goal for my 7a at 200 hp at the wheels.
Now the question is, how? The obvious answer from most is 'slap on a turbo.' but that's not what I want to hear. I am going to re-build my engine soon. Here is my plan: Re-build enging to brand ,new stock condition + a 1.8-2.0mm head gasket to lower compression a hair. Then, underdrive pully, and retard the timing a hair with adjustable cam gears for a 'rolla. Turbocharger +large FMIC and about ten pounds of boost.(maybe up to 14psi). I have also thought about calling up jet and having the rev-limiter on my car raised up to 6500-6800. What do you guys think about that? So, with proper tuning and electronics, what kind of power output do yall think I'd get? I have seen turbo 7a's pulling 170ish, So I have high hopes. keep in mind I am thinking outloud here so... Thanks for reading. Jon |
