I'm assuming by stillen intercoolers, you are talking about their side mounts.
I have yet to see anyone make over 400 whp with side mounts.
the very few that have, aren't doing it safely.
That rebuild kit you used for the wiesco pistons and eagle rods, if assembled properly, ought to make the engine strong enough to handle over 600 hp, (most of the time, they advertise they can handle 800) but your turbo set up isn't going to handle that.
So if it was my car, dyno time, money and hopes on the line, I wouldn't hope for more than 400.
And for the record, "hybrid turbos" is a ricey 300zx term, not a commonly accepted term, Nissan or not.
I've seen people loose power with the over bore. My 2 cents, unless you're shooting for some big power numbers, all it is going to do is help spool time. Same with that 5 angle valve job you had done. Those kinds of things don't really help until you start getting into the big numbers. You can do bolt on stuff, front mount, etc etc and get 400-450 with stock internals.
yea well aslong as i can get 400rwhp and its reliable its all good, im guessing im gonna have to get a big front mount and some 18g turbos to see anything over 600rwhp. i was kinda hoping to get into the 500 area since alot of the guys on tt.net are pushing around 20psi and getting those kinda numbers. but i guess it has alot to do with the turbos you run and the intercooler. i just like the sleeper look. thanks for the info i guess i still have a couple of grand to spend, but atleast the engine is strong lol
