What's the most hp you can make on an Is20, and how?

You can probably make between 340-360whp depending on tune. You'll need to be fbo and probably need to run an ethanol mix or meth. I made 350whp sae with my fbo gti with uni stage2,Jb4 stack and a e40 mix.

The tq and fast spool is worth its weight in gold more so than its mediocre horsepower. It has the ability , properly tuned, to run with boosted vettes/beamers/stangs until fourth gear. Then it falls on its face and gets dragged horribly.

Just wondering because I've saw these YouTube videos of boostedboyz making crazy 700hp out of beatdown civics, and gti power seems so low compared to them

On the gti what does full bolt on consist of?

That's not bad, so cars like sti's, neon srt4, caliber srt4's the gti can take? I'll be running the 1.5 HT or adjustable with ethanol whichever one works best

They aren’t running a tiny internally gated turbo on those beat down civics though, and most of them have a swapped engine.

There’s a local H20 big turbo civic coupe that’s dead even with my FBO gti

When you say FBO, at minimum you are running, DP, intercooler, and intake (or drop in filter)....maybe CBE as well, though not important

This. I have APR stage 2, FMIC, intake, TBE as far as things that add power. My car traps 111mph in the 1/4 mile which is the most accurate way to compare horsepower amongst different cars since dyno calibration varies

I've seen 350ish on a full e85 is20 car on a mustang dyno that reads somewhere around 8-10% low. So 380ish dynojet numbers
