Can anyone help with some Bench mark Turbo Gem Power figures
ie. 1.8ltr, 10psi, 150HP rear wheels (LPG)

Dyno'n my Gem this week aiming for 15psi 18psi and about 200hp raer wheels, I'm interested in some other people's figures. Maybe this could be a section in the Workshop?

200rwhp? That would be ballistic but I doubt you'll reach it. Awesome if you can, but I would be saying about 160 at the rear wheels would be more likely, once you factor in drivetrain losses.

Good luck Smile

Good luck with 200rwhp, itd be nice and quick.

I was getting about 165rwhp @17psi with a G200. That was before installing my intercooler. Am guessing about 180 now. Big exhasut and compressor will get me to 200 hopefully. Building exhasut now.

What are the specs of your 1800 and turbo, I assume G180???

Cheers!

No, actually a g160 bored out a fuck of a lot to fit VL Turbo Pistons full floating (Nice low comp) balanced shot peened & polished rods, O-Rings, copper head gasket, 2ltr oil pump, GT25 b/bearing turbo, G200 EFI Manifold, minor head work Heavy valve springs, 350 CFM Gas Reasearch, Big Cam, Piazza Elec dissy recurved, front mounted intercooler, Lightened flywheel and brass button clutch,and soon to have a 9 inch LSD. this combo will do some skids. and have the possibility to boost to about 20 PSI

That theory explains why I took the engine out of my car then.

Sounds nice, but don't waste your cash, (or more importantly, your horsepower), on a 9inch. Get a commodore V6 LSD. It will be ample strong enough to hold together under any strain that you will give it, and it wont suck 150 horses doing it.
