There are quite a few differences between the 93 and 99 cars. The intercooler piping was different, the turbos had the abraided housing and the turbine flowed more, the 99 had a 16 bit ecu,the intake manifold and rats nest were different among other things.. I have seen some 98+ FD's put down some pretty good numbers with very little mods, like 315 with cat back, boost controller and a fuel pump.

I dunno about 369 at 10 psi sounds high but then again Revolution did 417 rwhp on stock 99 twins running sequential, at 1.2kg/cm3 with a v-mount and god knows how much dyno time, they own the stock turbo class in superlap.

The key to making a stock turbo car fast, is run really high boost at low rpms, and then taper it down with rpm to not choke on the turbine, it makes a really fat big torque curve.

Max hes saying 369rwhp @ 7psi. I can believe that at 15psi, but not 7. That is what a 74+mm wheel does at 7psi...

Yeah I missed that post, at 7 psi, there is just no way.. Someone's dyno weatherstation has a hair dryer pointing at it.

Mate I don't really take to being called a liar, so here goes the link to the article on my car.

369hp @ rear wheels on 8lbs of boost. READ IT AND WEEP.

Reading the claimed horsepower in an article is hardly proof. Articles in those magazines are little more than lengthy plugs for aftermarket manufacturers...and conservative horsepower figures don't sell as well. Besides, by your own admiission in the same article you don't even know the engine's mods beyond a claimed port job and 3mm seals.....the latter of which make no sense if your staying at 7 psi.

As I said earlier, either a dyno or boost issue. Until you can show me a dyno sheet documenting those numbers with VIN matching the one on your car, I don't believe it. Given some of the tuner shops nowadays, not sure I'd believe it even then. And I really don't care if you "take to be called a liar" .

Not only that, I have yet to meet a Japanese tuning shop that would use 3mm seals, and I have met alot of them. The only 3mm'ing going on over there is for carbons in N/A motors. To much in that article sounds made up.
