A turbo'd 1776 will get about 180 hp TOPS. And thats being generous. The EJ20T has 227 hp stock with cats and all of the emission crap and stock ecu. With a free flow exhaust, larger fuel pump, injectors and EMS...340 hp is not uncommon according to several tuners (Danzio,Xcceleration,Crawford,Cobb).
The stock internals go to **** once you get rambuctious and turn the boost to 20 lbs.. The rods are the first to go on average at 405 hp, then the wrist pins at 415 hp, then the pistons start getting holes blown in them at 420 hp. I've seen an EJ20TT block with billet "H" beam rods and forged pistons with the stock block and crank pull a 660 hp dyno run. Obviously on 112 race gas, but it did it. 18 lbs is the limit with still being some what safe. Most guys will have the boost set to 16 lbs and run it on race gas to prevent detonation and be safe.
Always be prepared to spend more than what you planned, just so you don't get sticker shock.
The adapter alone to my G50 is $772! To a 901/915 is $410. The only reason why i'm going with such an exotic tranny is cause it's the only one that'll handle 800 ft. lbs of torque. If anyone knows of another strong tranny with LSD, please let me know. I don't want to drop $4500 into a tranny then find out there was something hidden out there that was cheaper and lighter.
