Re: d15b7 turbo horsepower?

I just pulled the head on my friends D15B7 last night, after work I threw a new HG on and I need to head over there right now to finish things up.

With 450cc's, chrome eprom, 14b @ 12psi, ect... I am expecting it to be somewhere right about 200whp.

On what turbo? 2.25" might be enough, but going 2.5" couldn't hurt

I would say 200 hp is right around the max the little b7 rods can handle. Any more than that and you are surely gonna pop.

it is getting towards the limits. they are little pencil dick rods, but 200whp/12psi should be alright. We've got good tuning, and lots of fresh parts. I'm not worried about it.
