increase horsepower on a turbo?

it depends on the type of your veachile. the safest turbos are run at 8 PSI

If you are putting in an X-pipe then you are doing cat-back but anyway i had bassani on 89 mustang 5.0L with trick flow every thing and it sounded great but i was a little over 400 HP it will depend on your application

Short answer: Install a large turbo.\n\nIt depends on what type of engine you have.  If you're running a KA18DE, good luck.  You'll have to tune that engine about as heavily as possible to take it up to that much power.  However, if you have an SR20 engine, you're in a much better situation, as those can withstand much more power.  \n\nIf you have a KA18DE engine, I would suggest saving your money for a SR20DET engine, and having the SR20DET rebuilt.   That will cost more than your current budget, but will be worth it. Then, install a large turbo on the SR20DET.  I would guess that all that work may cost as much as $8k-10k, depending on how the SR20 market is right now.  \nYour other option with the KA is to install a turbo, and hope for the best. I don't know if you'll be able to pull 300HP though, especially with a tired old engine.\n\nNOTE: If your engine is naturally aspirated and hasn't been recently rebuilt, I wouldn't reccomend installing a turbo, as you're likely to blow it.\n\n**for reference** "S13" refers to an older model  (86-92?) Nissan 240SX\n\nDisclaimer: I drive a Mazda RX7 (FC3s), and have not personally  done any work of this nature on an S13.\n\nFeel free to send me a private message (I think you can on these boards) and update me/ask for more info  on the situation.

It would be possible to get a relatively small turbo such as a Mitsubishi TD04-13, around 300-400 cfm, and run it at 7-8 psi or below. Your engine would need to be compression tested (and generally in good operating order) before adding the turbo. \n\nYou would need the turbo, piping, gaskets, upgraded fuel pump and injectors, and an intercooler would be optional (or required for 8 psi or more). You might need custom exhaust work to mate the turbo to the manifold.\n\nYou would definitely need to run premium gasoline. You may or may not also need to lower your compression, for example a new headgasket or pistons. I would advise highly dynotuning the vehicle to ensure the correct air-flow ratios.

The Turbo Tap is a great new invention... Here's the link. Lets you pour beer 4x faster!!! Awesome.

I think you need to download another version of your turbo C.

Is it a gas or a Diesel?  Thie easiest way to think about HP. is this:  You need either air to go faster into the engine...or faster out of the engine.  Easy inexpensive fixes could be a cold air intake or a throttle body spacer.  These would allow air to enter your engine faster.  Another option is a more free flowing exhaust...sucking air out faster.  If you want to spend more money..a computer chip or programmer (you have to run premium gas if you have a gas vehicle)..or supercharger or turbo.  These are more expensive than the options above

boost controler , hard pipe kit , greddy blow off vale, bigger inter cooler but not to big you will have boost drop with a bigger inter cooler , kn air filter , 3 inch exhuast all the way back , change from a twin turbo to on big turbo like a super 25g is my fav , standalone ems , after all this you will need a new clutch to like a stage3 act is great ,

An H3 only has 220hp from it's Inline 5-cylinder giving it a power-to-weight ratio only slightly better than a 1.5L Toyota Yaris (ouch!). To get more power consider the following:\n\n* Get a more aggressive air intake system\n* Headers - you'll increase power and fuel efficiency\n* Get a high flow muffler\n* Look into a performance chip\n* Wait and buy an H3 when GM finally gets a V8 to market (likely the 5.3 or 4.8)

Nitrous Oxide injection will add MAJOR horsepower to your engine for a relatively small price, but it could also blow up your engine if you're not careful with it...

You should size the turbos based on your horsepower goal:\n\nA turbo helps support about 1 horsepower per 1.345 cfm airflow (that the turbo is rated at). Take the cfm rating of the turbo you are considering and multiply by two (to get the total cfm provided by the two turbos).\n\n\n----\n\nWhat I referred to was the cfm ratings of the turbos themselves. Those are usually specified by the turbo manufacturer in the form of a compressor map. The 1.345 figure I gave is the most commonly quoted estimated. For example, if you wanted a 250hp car, you would need one or more turbos rated a combined 336 cfm.\n\nAnother factor is making sure you have enough exhaust flow to spool the turbos quickly. In other words, don't oversize the turbos or the turbo response will not happen until a high rpm, thus reducing drivability somewhat.

A tune up to start.Plugs,spark plug wires,7mm will do fine.I reccomend bosch platinum plugs or split fire.For a budget,as I am on also,a new air filter will do,I like K&N.A good low restrictive muffler and a 3 inch exhaust will be suffice.You may want to check into a chip if your vehicle has a computer.Stay away from nitrous,your bottom end will not hold.Run a good 89 octane.This will not only improve your power but will also help your fuel mileage.If you want to get wild tear out all the interior and gut the thing to lighten it.You may want to also look into aftermarket undersized pulleys.Your looking at around a grand still at that.You may want to consider a trade for a mid eighties mustang with the 302.You could build a beast with that.Gluck man.Power up....

A turbocharger is an exhaust gas driven compressor used in internal-combustion engines to increase the power output of the engine by increasing the mass of oxygen entering the engine. A key advantage of turbochargers is that they offer a considerable increase in engine power with only a slight increase in weight.\n\nA turbocharger is an exhaust gas driven supercharger. All superchargers have a gas compressor in the intake tract of the engine which compresses the intake air above atmospheric pressure, greatly increasing the volumetric efficiency beyond that of naturally-aspirated engines. A turbocharger also has a turbine that powers the compressor using wasted energy from the exhaust gases. The compressor and turbine spin on the same shaft, similar to a turbojet aircraft engine.\n\nThe term supercharger is very often used when referring to a mechanically driven turbocharger, which is most often driven from the engine's crankshaft by means of a belt (otherwise, and in many aircraft engines, by a geartrain), whereas a turbocharger is exhaust-driven, the name turbocharger being a contraction of the earlier "turbosupercharger". Because the turbine of a turbocharger is in-itself a heat engine, a turbocharger equipped engine will normally compress the intake air more efficiently than a mechanical supercharger. But because of "turbo lag" , engines with mechanical superchargers are typically more responsive.

yeah this is kkkkeeentt  umm u should just get a stock exhaust and that will go twice as fast!

chip, GT40 air intake, cat-back exhaust, free-flow cats, h-pipe. The easiest thing to do is change the oil to synthetic. Less friction=more power

well an upgraded clutch and flywheel, helps hold the horsepower and tourque created by an enhanced engine. If you have done any serious motor upgrades(i.e. big turbo, bore, port polish and big time spray) yeah you need a better than stock clutch

Headers raise the power band higher in the rpm range.
