EJ20 max hp on stock internals.

Any one know how much hp the stock ej20 can handle? I got a guy with all your basic bolt on mods turbo, cooler etc.. Says he's pushin 315 whp. I have all the same mods and I'm pushin 267 whp. Which is pretty hard all ready but 315 on an EJ20 with no internal mods. I'm thinkin if it's true his motor will be broke soon @ that power.

Give me some thoughts on this.

Thanks, T.

I ran at over 300whp for over a year on the stock EJ205 motor, it really depends on the gas/tuning.

Were you both tuned on the same dyno, same day, same conditions? If not then the numbers mean nothing. If you were on a mustang and he was on a dynapak you could be about the same.

You might want to Change the title to EJ205 cause the EJ207 can handle alot of HP. I've seen many 300 WHP on a dynojet, DD or mustang is something different.

rods go at 400whp.

to get remotely close requires "no mistake" tuning.

det will kill pistons at 170whp.

I don't know him. My buddy met him some were and told him he's going to s-s to have it dyno tuned but I don't know if it's on pump or race gas. I had a dyno reflash at s-s too on pump gas and got 267whp. 315whp is not achievable on pump gas is it? Not safely any ways from what s-s told me. Nate said that I'm already pushin it with my 20psi reflash. And that is the most I should go power wise @ 267whp. It just seemed far feched on a daily driver with barely any fuel mods.
Thanks for the info, T.

the thing is you can't have everything:

quick spool/low lag
power output
low octane

pick two, give up the third.

Your motor is gonna blow if you keep pushing 20psi with that crazy 120degree Sac weather and 91 pump.

Ummm

I didn't see a list of mods, but with:
walbro
sti injectors
perrin rails
vf43
utec
catless up/down pipe
hks carbon ti
TXS front mount
aem short ram
koyo rad
cooler thermostat

and a bunch of stuff that has nothing to do with power like different spark plug, ground wires, etc.

I put down 310whp on 18psi with 93, on a nice day (about 80)

I wouldn't focus on the biggest dyno number's, most of the time it is not usable, most people would rather have usable power then have a dyno queen.

Also, 20psi on 91! it is amazing that you still have a stock engine that has moving parts. PS i hope you have a knock link
