My car is SORTA sleeperish? Not too loud unless you get on it. Only thing you can see from the outside is the front mount. All you can see of the exhaust is a black muffler and a black pipe for a tip...doesn't stand out at all and actually looks like a stock n/a exhaust if you don't really know what you're looking at lol.

Here are a few rolling shots I took this weekend from my buddy's buggy with another friend driving my car.












dude isn't your intercooler the size of a garage door though? looks good either way

I did 300hp at the wheels , so close to 350hp at the crank running super rich , it is not hard to make it look stock again
just OEM wheels

I dont think anyone here is even close to 400whp at all maybe 400hp thats about it.

If and when I get my ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD in gear I am going to be stupid and go gt35 since I already have the exhuast manifold lol

I would really hope 400whp is attainable with a Garret GT35. I wouldnt waste my money on a T5 if they cant make that with a GT35. I was at a dyno day yesterday, and bunch of guys with Turbo BMWs, Turbo Audi S4s, 911 TTs ect . There was a 02 awd S4 there that im interested in. The guy that owns it is a 60yr old and this thing has 420WHP with a stage 3 setup and with only 70K and perfect. Im really starting to wonder about how hard/$$$ it takes to get that HP from these T5 engines. I really dont think you get your $$$ worth out of them. But i still love em!

dude, get a hold of reality... you are not running 400

Common, I know when I polished my upper pipe I got like 54 extra HP out of it .

But seriously got the graph to prove it

[EricF]

I'm not near 400bhp... Over 300 most likely though. My car not only looks stock, it looks like a piece of shit too!

yes that is true .

Simpley with out a Amazing AWD system or LSD 300whp is all but useless

shoot I only have 230whp and it still burns the whole way into third

Depends on your powerband and your tires mostly...

I have nice sticky tires, and a torque peak probably around 4500 RPM. Compared with the torque peak at 3500-4000 with a 19T. I have a little bit of screeching at the end of first, and into second if I shift hard. But truthfully rolling into it in second just stays hooked. Makes for a frightening threshold around 4500 or so since it throws you back instead of breaking loose

I wish some of the local Volvo folks were less lame so I could get a co-driver and a video up for the inquiring minds... My tach-less shifting will thrill the masses...

How much boost are you running Eric? What size turbine?

Once boost comes on in second, the tires just let loose. Same at the top of third. I really feather it to stay planted and actually get anywhere.

I need a diff bad.

My C30 looks like a 400 HP car with a sleeper engine.

[ovlovturbo]

overladdads car comes to mind about this topic, his car has 500+ and looks pretty stock on the outside

Spikes to 17, settles to 15-16.. Doing some tuning and upping the boost is on the list though. The turbine is a Turbonetics stage 3 T3 wheel, and I believe a .68 AR housing. It has a ported and extrude honed exhaust manifold as well. Stock cams though. It's also in the low 10s for WOT air/fuel ratios. At 12:1 and 18 psi I suspect it will be over 300 whp.

As it stands, I feel pretty comfortable saying that it's as fast as the last car that dyno'd 270 whp at 4700 RPM when the boost came on before we had to lift due to AFRs that we were reading (though on the street I had been taking it to 7200 RPM, that was with 22-23 psi... 57 trim T04E cold side, T3 Stage 3 turbine wheel and .63 AR housing, NA cams, Motronic). If we'd taken that dyno run to 7000, I bet it would have been at least around 305-315 whp.

I really need to run the car at the track though to get a semi-accurate idea of power. I'm guessing 104-106 mph traps, but I've predicted foolishly high and foolishly low in the past

What size/brand/model tires do you have? How new is the tread?

Regardless, I think you are probably pretty well past me in terms of power. Larger turbo, better flowing engine overall, more time tuning, etc.

Overladded lied...

There was a forum in sweden that I google translated to read more about him..He was only 350 hp on his dyno graphs..

[Wagon Mafia]

Turbor850 is the only one I can think of that fits that description
One of my favorite 850s for sure

My tires suck. They are new, but only 205/50/16 and I don't even remember the brand I know thats part of the problem.

IMO there is no way that tire shreeding power was only doing 350.

way to many vids around.

[ovlovturbo]

overladdad has a holset hx40 turbo in his car along with a built motor and stright exhaust he has way over 350 and i know people who know him personally and they have told me it is genuine hp number. he raced rockos autotech tuned 850 that has or had 450hp and pulls away from him so there has to be more than 350 in the car
