what hp should i expect from an s52 with some mods?

[flyboyx]

i was planning to install 24.5 lb injectors, 3.5 liter MAF, cold intake with k&n filter, obd1 intake manifold and a turner chip. since the engine comes with 240hp from the factory, would it be reasonable to expect 40hp increase or so with these mods? i see lots of threads talking about power upgrades, but haven't seen anything about actual gains.

you should expect increased fuel consumption

what if you got 100hp but you couldnt feel any difference? what if you got 1 hp but it felt like a totally different car?

S52 with the following.

Euro headers
SS race exhaust
Dinan CAI, low level sucks air from above the brake duct
Turner chip
3.5 maf
24lb injectors
LTW flywheel
UDP's
Fan delete

With the above on a dynojet I made
NA 238whp, 227trq.

Turboed it made 353whp, 345trq @ 7.5psi...

Add cams and it REALLY waked it up should crack into the high 260 low 275whp range with cams...

My 95 with a 3.38LSD was fast...

I'll probably do the mechanical lifter conversion on the 325/s50 car with cams and minor headwork, dual springs. Mechanical lifters work fine for street. They now make mechanical lifters with shim on bucket not the lash cap under bucket so adjusting them is as easy as an S14/S38 motor..

thank you so much for a decent, honest answer. that is very helpful. judging by the above this appears difficult to come by these days

7 useless posts from people who damn well knew the answer? Seems like more than his question was a problem, the antics on this forum are quite ridiculous sometimes. Just answer the mans question in one post and let his thread sink.

Then you have no business driving cars.

Why should we regurgitate the same facts, Instead they can save everyone time by using the search function?

I'm just saying, the man already wasted the space by starting the new thread, so why not answer it quickly so it can sink into the masses of the r3v archives?

Here I am still responding and adding to the issue in an attempt to help it :roll:
