max boost for 1.8 16v

[amalventano1@comcast.net (Allyn)]

Stock engine max boost without water injection on pump gas: ~6 psi
Est HP with 6 PSI and proper fueling: 180, assuming 180 ft-lbs torque as well for guestimation.
Weight: 2340 (that is stock weight, any weight you take off to lighten will probably be counteracted
by the turbo setup weight).

4k tranny and .3 sec shift times:
0-60: 6.00, 1/4: 14.45 @ 96.30

If you can get weight down to 2000 and hp up to 200:
0-60: 5.29, 1/4: 13.67 @ 103.49

Hope this helps,

can't figure out how to get extra fueling or the max boost i can run. i'm trying to get 200 at the
wheels with a 4K tranny. what would be the quarter-mile time with that H.P witha 2000 pound car? i
