depends on what you plan to do to it. in stock form with BPU mods you’ll be lucky to make about 140rwhp probably. if you’re willing to spend a few grand you can go the sketchy kat route and make maybe around 300 withouth sacrificing all reliability spend a few more grand and that # can go up quite a bit. this question is too vague to answer with any kind of certainty. ---

I’ll go with 90-110whp considering factory spec is what, 140hp drive train lose is like what 20-30%? which would be approx 28-42hp from 140hp puts you into the 90-110whp area “give or take” ---

Stock KA24DE won’t give you to much but like mentioned earlier a KA-T is possible. It all depends on how much you put into it. Darkforce has a simple KA-T, heres the link to check it out [http://www.takeit2thetrack.ca/forums/showthread.php?t=275](http://www.takeit2thetrack.ca/forums/showthread.php?t=275) You can also go nuts and make huge amounts of horsepower but I know for a fact you wont be doing that. If going KA24DE-T make sure to check out [www.ka-t.org](http://www.ka-t.org) ---

Shouldn’t a KA24DE put down more like 100-125rwhp and 115-130rwtq on a bone-stock motor? I could def. be wrong but that’s what i’ve always recalled. Anyhoo, thanks for the honourable mention PureEuroM3 lol… 😛 ---

I’d assume a healthy motor makes around the 110whp mark where as one lower on compression would not be as high etc… ---

Yeah, I made 113 rwhp with my Kouki only mods were a mani back exhaust and advanced timing. tq was around the 130 mark. That was the baseline run before the GT2871R went on. She did a 16 flat in the 1/4 with blown shocks giving me no traction. 15.8 is posible as I pulled that with my old Zenki in stock form with 50’000km. Edit: 5G’s will get you a budgit turbo kit or a stock-ish sr if your confident in your own work. Paying will add a grand atleast. If your not a wrencher, go sr. ---

well what are your power goals? do you plan on a full rebuild. 5 grand is a decent amount of money. if i had 5 g’s to invest in a motor i would probably go kat. full rebuild with forged internals, and a turbo to give me 10-12 psi all day long. it can be done for maybe 5 grand but you will definatly have to get dirty. peace ---
