your kidding right?

on the LOW side a 10psi junkyard turbo set up tuned on a safc would make 180-190

youre comparing gsr hp at the crank to a turbo d with hp at the wheels. theres a drivetrain loss in there.

also, the gsr doesnt have as much torque as the turbo d

Id put my gsr swapped hatch against any turbo d putting down 180. That's sad. If i boosted my camaro it would be close to 500 to the wheels on same boost.

My buddy put down 140 to the wheels with a stock b1 with a muffler header and intake. Stock cat stock tune and all that. I dont see any point is putting money in a d when you can put it in a b or a k and make way more hp.

and thats your choice and opinion. some people go for putting a turbo kit together and turboing their stock d and put down around 180-200whp and 150-180 torque and some rather swap in a b series and put down around 130-140whp and 100-120ft/lbs of torque.

years ago i opted for a turbo d and if i would have to do it again, id do the same. that is my choice and opinion.

That was a stock b1. Bolt on gsr will do way better than that especially with a tune. Yes this is all my opinion. I just dont see the reason in putting money in a d when you caint make as much power.

and thats cool. im sure youre also the guy to say to swap in a h22 vs turboing an f22.

and to the op.... nice build. id like to see what it does when its done. theres a guy up here at my work that says he knows you and hes been braggin about your car ever since he saw me pull into work with my prelude a couple of months back.

ricks turbo d was no slouch. a bolt on gsr wont make 180 whp unless youve got a damn strong one from the factory or more done than bolt ons. its rated at 180 at the crank, so you lose 15%~ of that through the drivetrain.

Ricks purple coupe would put it on my sr swapped hatch with boltons 89% of the time. And we were both runnin high 13s on 8or 9psi a long time ago, if this guys h puts out over 230whp id be impressed.
