FB horsepower

[NinjaHobo]

Question: Exactly how much horsepower can you get from a FB with a turbo FD engine swap?? I need to know so I can decide whether or not it's worth it to turbo my car.

youre wanting to swap in a 13brew? why not just have that in the title instead of "fb horsepower"
i mean, there are people with 700+whp on those motors, sky is the limit......well, your wallet is the limit

[NinjaHobo]

my workin with about a grand right now. More or less.

[ECMgarrett]

1k with or without the motor?

[NinjaHobo]

with the motor if possible. if not then just for the turbo.

[ECMgarrett]

so you have 1k to buy a motor and get it in the car and running?

[NinjaHobo]

I already have a running motor. I just wanted to know how much it would run me to get another turbo engine and swap it in or if it would be cheaper to just by a turbo for the horsepower i'm lookin for. The engine I have now has about 114k on it, and i'm not sure how long it would hold boost.

If you have $1k, forget about it. You are not even close. If you want to make power on $1k, pm me. I know exactly what you should do.

street port, down draft and a shaved flywheel would be nice..

[ECMgarrett]

want power with 1k dollars? 305 small block swap...
you'll still have a little left over too

old plans for the new man eh?

Downdraft or a modified original carb. Add headers and some porting and you're be set. Hell, a modified Holley is DIRT cheap, and all you need is the manifold. What year car and motor are you working with?
