300WHP on a stock LS
 

How hard is it to not only reach, but maintain? I've been shooting for 300 hp on my stock LS using a Holset HY35 turbo.

First off I'd like to say nice choice of screen name...face off is one of my favorite movies ;D Now down to brass tacks...you need to give us a little more info to go on. From everything i've seen, 300hp is around the breaking limit on a stock ls in good condition. If it's pretty beaten, maybe even less. It is achievable to reach what you want on a LS motor, depending on your complete setup. But you gotta give more than just "stock ls with a holset". I suggest a little more research perhaps and then come back ::)

It's easy as long as you're ready for an engine rebuild :P

just sounds a little out of reach in my opinion.

nice name, sounds like someone watched a little too much face-off....

It can handle 300 whp but I wouldn't reccomend running it at that all the time. Get an electronic boost controller and run a low/high boost setting.

the engine is a b18a with b18b cams and intake manifold, it has just over 100,000 miles, doesn't smoke and doesn't burn any oil. my turbo parts list consist of the HY35 turbo, greddy ebc, tial 38mm gate, log mani, jonnyracecar 8", and a turbo xs bov. i'll be converting to obd1 and using chrome for tunning those 450cc dsm's.
i also have been wanting to install the kit and immediately tune it for 300... this motor i'd like to last for at least a year.

ide say its acheivable, probably wont last long though, a friend of mine made 340 some odd hp on an ls/vtec wit ha t3/t4 . . . with stock internals . . . . . needless to say it didnt last long, about a week and it was dead =/ . . .. it hualed ass though =P

I seriously DOUBT a stock b18a can last a year running at 300whp daily!

it's like getting in a longterm relationship and thinking that your girl will give you crazy sex every day........ :1

i am noob status! this is my first HMT kit. but i've been doing a lot of research(BTW thanks all you fuckers around this house) and i set my goals high. if i were to run it daily i would use a lower boost setting, but i don't think i'll daily this one.
