I'm sorry to make a new thread about this, but I can't find the answer to this question anywhere. Even Millions-Knives car had aftermarket parts on it during beta testing.
What I want to know is this: with the CT-E supercharger, 3.15" pulley, supporting injectors and absolutely nothing else, what kind of power would that make? Stock down pipe, stock exhaust, stock intake, stock throttle body, stock EVERYTHING besides the SC, injectors, and the 3.15" pulley on the SC.
I'm not trying to start a debate as to whether or not this is going to sound cool or look cool or any kind of subjective topic. I want to know how much of an increase in power I could expect from it.
I realize that CT-E says 100whp increase, but that's with at least an intake. I want everything to remain as stock as possible for the sake of being as quiet as possible and for the engine bay looking as stock as possible.
I've messaged Vit and haven't received an answer, so I'm posting this thread to see if anyone knows what kind of power increase I could expect.
I think, assuming a stock Si is about 160-170whp, maybe I could expect anywhere from 240-270whp? SleepingPanda is at >290whp with the bolt ons and Millions-Knives was right at 300whp when Vit first tuned his car with the 3.15 pulley and new 1000cc injectors and he had all the bolt ons, so I'm assuming the bolt ons add maybe 30-40whp realistically. I don't know. If anyone has any theories, please enlighten me.
Again, I don't want any opinions about whether or not I SHOULD do the bolt ons. If you know for a fact that I absolutely need them, then please let me know why. I know that a CT-E says you need an intake for their stage 2 kit, but they also said they did the testing of their stage 2 kit with their intake and I've seen their intake and think the stock intake would be perfectly safe, just wouldn't get the 100+whp they say the stage 2 kit is good for and that's why they say you need it.
My current eDyno said I'm at 224whp, but knowing what I have done to the car I think I have more like 200whp. I think my CHP has probably been improved by about 30-40hp making it about 230-240chp. Assuming a 15-20% drive train loss, I'm at anywhere between 184-204whp currently. I would be more than happy with about 260whp assuming I am at 200whp now.
Anyway, discuss.
