To be honest i have no idea as this has never been on a dyno. I can tell you i ran low 14's at 100-105 mph with horrible launches (fail). I would guess 160-180 hp maybe but the power band is not typical turbo Honda. It is more mid range then top end as i built this as a daily driver not a race car.

i'll second that, the power isn't all sitting at the top of the rev range, very useable power with quick spool-up. The car is a hoot to drive.

why did you build the motor if you just put a t25 on it? were you planning to upgrade in the future?

[GarageAlchemist]

Did you miss the part where he said he built it to be a daily driver. So it needed to have some level of reliability? Have you seen stock D series rods?

Good luck with the sale matt! This is one of my all time favorite builds. So clean.

Heath answered this pretty spot on. But show me one stock turbo d series that has any real miles on it? They don't exist as they blow up from being wholly under built for regular turbo duty.
