This is straight from Todd @ AWE Tuning posted on AZ a week ago or so.



This sheet is with a lower boost chip (1.2bar) and our FMIC. We completed a MAF upgrade, which now will allow us to run more boost (~1.3bar), so this is actually a development plot.

Still, we are quite pleased. 228 wheel hp equates to ~ 292 crank, on 93 octane.

Sorry. I did get back to that thread over there and answer your question, but not until late in the day.

Here is my cut and pasted response:

Stage 1: Garrett GT28R, stock exhaust manifold and intercooler used. Hi flow injectors (edit: we're trying to keep that spec secret, as we spent a lot of time researching injectors), metal core catalyst, MAF, all install hardware and gaskets, proprietary GIAC chip programming. In field testing at this point. ~223 all wheel hp on our Mustang dyno. A FMIC will be optional, and should yield ~240 all wheel hp when the chip is finalized. The dyno sheet shown here is this configuration before chip optimization. Translates to ~290 crank hp.

Price estimate without intercooler: $3599

Stage 2: Same kit as above, except with a higher flow exhaust manifold. An upgraded intercooler will be highly recommended at this point. Possibly a crank horsepower output of 320hp.

Pricing: TBA


Stage 3: Same kit as above, except with GT28RS turbo. This will tradeoff some low end power for more high end power, but should allow us to see power levels approaching 350 crank hp.

Pricing: TBA

We are building each stage to be modular to allow purchasers of lower stages to easily upgrade to higher stages as their wallet permits them!

Final whp for Stage 1 with stock intercooler will probably by in the low to high 230 whp range.

Bear in mind that a turbo is only as good as the engine spinning it, and there is a little 1.8l engine spinning this GT28R.

A turbo manufacturer rates their turbo based on the turbo's potential power output, not based on the engine that may or may not be spinning it.

Think about it this way: you could strap this turbo on a V6 engine making 250hp stock, and gain 100hp on top of it, making 350hp. But if a little 4 cylinder engine makes just 170hp stock, you would not gain 180hp with the same turbo (assuming that the stock engines are not extremely detuned from the factory).

A bigger engine will make more power to begin with.

Also, we are not tuning this turbo to its maximum capacity, since it will be tuned to run on street fuel. We will have a race fuel chip, and I'll bet you we can see a good bump of 30-40 whp with that!

 

god damn. I am drooling

 

damn i want it but u think that kind of power will survive on a tip tranny

 

If you get a tip chip maybe, or you can upgrade yours trans..

 

a tip chip will have no bearing on whether the transmission will hold that kind of power. That kind of hp is really pushing an auto. I don't think it would have a long lifespan.

 

I agree with Jest, once you start getting past 275 crank HP its dangerous for an auto tip tranny. Our tips weren't meant to handle this much power and sooner or later the tranny will die from excessive power. You can always get a new clutch or whatever for a manual but not for an auto tip.
