Default turbo 240

last night heading home from the movies a friend called saying he had someone that he wanted so i was like sure i don't get to race to many people so my not. So we went out to a back road and went for it. he was pushing 7 psi and complete with all other bolt ons and so i blew the horn we both spin but i got a good start and he never caught up. then on the way back to where we were parked on the side of the road he was like lets go from a roll so we go from 30 blew the horn and jump a car on me because mine a a4 and that the way it stayed till i shut down at bout 80 or 90. so 1 win 1 lose not to bad but can't wait to get my headers and tune then we'll go for it again

What engine was it? Stock ka24 with a turbo (would possibly explain only running 7 psi) or a sr20, or ca18.

Nice.

Interesting. Just knowing he was at 7 psi makes it very difficult to judge his approximate HP.

good races. i'm not sure about the motor either tho. i know of 240 around here with an sr20 that dynoed closed to 250hp and i think he was pushing about 14psi, he's running 8.4s in the 1/8th.

I would think its a turboed Ka motor. The kits for that probably come with low boost wastegate actuators for use in an previously NA application.

250WHP at 14PSI sounds right for a well done SR20 on a stockish sized turbo.
