I guess I would estimate 190HP BASE + 2HP CAI + 20HP Y-PIPE so, 212HP?

Not sure about the cat and b-pipe, but I dont think much from the b-pipe.

hi-flow cat - maybe 1 or 2 hp... and b-pipe would be about 3-4hp I think... not overly noticeable.

If you are a 5-spd, you would be putting down about 165 - 170hp stock, at the wheels... with the y-pipe and CAI I think you'd be at about 180hp - 185hp to the wheels.

The only stock 5spd I've ever seen put down that high of numbers is yours. Most are around 160 fwhp

Go read in the dyno forum and find other cars with your mods.

Better yet, go dyno yourself and post up your dyno.

Depends if you are talking about HP at the wheels or at the crank. At the crank, the VQ30DE is rated at 190hp... however after driveline loss, the amount of power put to the wheels is about 160hp as Steve said. Mine was one of those weird oddball ones and I never got a chance to try a different dyno - but I got 175hp at the wheels, stock, which is indeed quite high.

heh... mine was 175hp... so I thought 165 was more accurate. I guess 160hp would mean 15-16% driveline loss which is more accurate for a 5-spd.

NOW however, the MEVI has brought my car back down to earth... I'm at about 190hp/190lb.ft at the wheels with that and all my other mods... JWT ECU just got installed so I will dyno in the spring to see what I end up with.
