pounds=hp????

[civicguy92]

hey guys and gals, if u were to boost a vehicle say 8pounds, what would that work out to be in hp?????

 

[XpL0d3r]

Depends... what motor? what size / trim turbo? what / how is it being tuned? what size downpipe / exhaust?

There's soooo many what if's, and you provided.... no details. lol. All I can assume is you have a 92 civic...

Also if you are looking to boost, you should be setting a power goal first, then finding parts, etc to meet that goal.

Thats bought as specific as we can give you
The entire engine works together to make hp so it would depend on so many factors what motor what mods you have which turbo etc etc the tunning is the most important part i mean 20 psi is a lot of boost but if its untunned or tunned badly it wont make s**t for horsepower and if it does it wont last long untunned or badly tunned

good luck with auto sir. will the tranny even hold that much hp?

I have been told once that the auto tranny was good till 200 215 at most but dont hold me to that
Anyone that actually knows for certain please correct me if im wrong

 

[Modest Throttle]

the auto tranny in your car is already robbing power from the motor, now you want to boost that motor so the tranny can rob even more power?
Do more research on turbo applications and auto-to-manual tranny swaps

its torque that will end the auto tranny. probably anything over 150lb/ft will kill the tranny in a short time.. that's just a best guess

Yeah i didnt figure anybody really knew for sure since autos dont ever really make it that far being built
if you want to keep the auto then bolt ons and maybe a few other mods is all your really gonna be able to do you would have to swap to manual as far as i have ever known to boost for sure and to have any high horse power high torque set up

 

[techavluis]

5 speed for sure...
