well my car runs a 1900cvh big valve ported head stage 3 turbo megasquirt 12-13psi and made 225hp 258 ft lbs, yet you see people quoting 260hp from 1600's with weber at 16 psi

Would need to be a pretty big turbo on a 1.6 to make 260bhp at that boost level lol, mine's not a standard 1.6 but made 245bhp at 1.5 bar, mapped on an omex600 ecu.

Yes there is an awful lot more!
Boost pressure is just a by-product of your target BHP and the VE of your engine........it is almost irrelevant!
But what we were trying to say was that there are a lot of 'Pub' BHP figures floating around, and also that RR figures vary greatly.

I have no idea, why?
It might be possible but can you imagine what size the turbo and inlet ports/valves would have to be?!

You see plenty of other fwd n/a cars in particular doing much better times with the same terminals, don't mean they're twice the power.

and i no what your saying about the 1/4 mile but my point is most people claim 300+hp these days and run a 14.-- 1/4 with good suspension and a lsd
p.s it done 270 @7500

i never said guess what power it made i just asked what people think it could do at 9psi, which is all you could as i only gave you the engine and turbo! and that was my point there is more to making power than just psi.
