Given our history with the SR20DE where a full bolt SE-R (intake, header, pullies, ECU, exhaust, no cams) makes the same whp as the factory crank rating I would expect similar results from the SR20VE. I'm betting Amber's car with a proper VE header, 2.5" exhaust, CAI, and pullies (if they ever become available) would get close to 187 whp. Then find some SR16VE type cams and 200 whp should not be out of the question.
Originally posted by sr20sleeper I think that JRios meant that a stock motor putting 176 to the wheels when its rated at 187 to the crank makes him think they might underrate the actual output of the motor from the factory. If it was really 187 at the crank it should only be like 160whp instead of almost 180. Not that he doesnt understand the difference between BHP and WHP. at least thats how i took the statement.

Thank you Nathan, this is exactly what I meant. I do know the difference in WHP and BHP. But as Bigtom also says, it might be lower in HP with the CVT tranny.
