actually hp gain from turbo on 7afe - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #12622 68 posts Started by powerkor
How much hp to you actually gain from turboing your 7afe and boosting 7psi? whats the hp per psi? with stock 9.5cr and maybe 9cr??? anyone?

I really wannted to do nos, but i figure, ill look in to turbo too. HP Gain for the money is great for nos though.
I think someone with 7-8 lbs boost was doing 172 whp, dont quote me on it though.
172 is an amazing increase...seems a bit high. but idk.

I know I saw a dyno with 172 as its output, im pretty sure it wasnt over 8 psi.
7AFE + 7PSI = 155-160wHP i'd imagine. 172wHP is too high.

Considering an ST runs about 90wHP stock, I believe 1PSI = 7-10HP.
it was on the board, a dyno of a 7afe turbo it was 172 I KNOW. I know its high, I couldnt beleive it either, but it was a true dyno sheet.
zipstrips is his name, the car was a 5spd and i think 8psi, stock motor/fuel hit 160whp 170fpt. The 7afe actually see's descent gains on small amount of boost.




those are the correct numbers judging by his profile, some odd reason i remember it being higher.

it was 172 AT THE WHEELS I know the difference, it was a dyno it was 172 WHP I remember because it amazed me too man, I think it was zip strips not sure though.
What else was done to the motor? Slapping a turbo on a 7afe doesnt produce those figures straight out or else everyone would be doing that instead of a 3s.

Thers more to his car than just a turbo.

Ahh, iam on my way to being an St-T and I can not wait... >biggrin.gif> >tongue.gif>
I've been a 7afte'er once, and as soon as i get the body work done i will be again. . . . .only thing time 10-15psi instead of 4psi.
wow, it would be nice to have a little more power... but guys you are looking to spend a lot of money on a not so expensive car. and it still wont be a 14sec car
I saw a rolla 7a with 8 or 9 PSI and an underdrive pully. He claimed dynoing 180ish at the wheels.
Im gonna get forged pistons, rings, and rods and do an occational 100-shot. it will cost me around 1200 to do the whole thing... alot better than turbo for the $ if you ask me.
