1989 Notch

[alx0nfire]

2.3 from an 88tc, motor is .20 over with ranger head and cam. ARP studs, gutted, ported upper and lower intake, large vam, 35lb injectors with 255 fuel pump, turbo from big r motor sports, npr front mount, center force clutch, 8.8 rear end with 3.55 gears

Just bought the car, curious on what people think this set up makes HP wise and what upgrades needed for more power

That's a clean ride!

Power depends on how much boost. Probably somewhere in the 235-250hp range.

Assuming it's got a 3" exhaust system with free flowing muffler (not a baffled muffler), more power would come from porting (intake, head, etc.), a bigger turbo, and ECU/injectors.

Thanks!

Yes 3 inch down pipe and exhaust to a dump in the middle of the car. Pretty sure it’s running about 18 lbs of boost
Was looking at the bo port stage 3 head and cam kit, I’m new to upgrading and building, whatever info really helps. so I already planned on getting a pimp and bigger injectors, would any other supporting mods be needed if I got the top end kit from bo port?

Ported intakes to go with the ported head. With proper tuning and enough fuel, that's a 125+hp bolt on deal.

Upper and lower intakes are ported.

But really appreciate the time and insight, hopefully by summer I’ll post the car in proven combos with dyno number and ET

I guess the other thing is a clutch (and maybe flywheel) to handle the new power. We've got these as well.
