LMAO 500 hp import? he must've spent like a million bucks to get it his hp up there. 14 psi doesn't even sound right to be running 500 hp in speaking in ricer terms. i thought they ran like 25 or 30 psi to get 500 hp? where as in muscle terms we'd run like 14 to get 600 with a ls1 motor??? I think he's most likely lying!
Oh the ironing...

Just because turbo (1) makes X horsepower at 14psi doesn't mean turbo (2) will also make X horsepower at 14psi. Different sized turbos flow different amounts of air. There is a white RSX in DFW that makes just under 500whp at like 16~17psi. The owner is just using a very large turbo to achieve those #'s. So it's entirely possible.
hes at 14 psi
like this that will last u 10 passes down the track

Some people are just so blind to the fact that if it aint got a V8 its a pile and slow wont last blah blah blah. These are the same people that ate corn bread all there life and probably think that marrying someone you are related to is an ok deal.

wow have any of these *** shats ever been on any other forum except a domestic forum... seems like a lot of uneducated statements going on here.
to make a k-series hit 500 hp aprox. it would take about 4k or so in turbo parts... can you make a ls1 hit that or above for 4k... and at that point can the camaro that the ls1 is in that is 1k lbs heavier run with the lighter cheaper car for the same amount of money???? and just look around on the internet if you think that that car would be unreliable... **** it would still get 30mpg probably... i love ls1s but common people be alittle more open minded about other vehicles
