Being new to this whole turbo revolution, to say that I was impressed with the story May edition of MM&FF on the Hellion Turbo Kit for the terminator would be an understatement. They report 847 rwhp on a stock block and the excitement shot through me. I started inquiring about such high numbers (psi is over 20) and have gotten mixed answers. Some people have told me that there is no way a stock terminator engine can withstand the pressure of 847 hp and that the entire article is misleading. Others have told me that with a good tune and conservative driving, it is possible to have this amount of hp in a car and the engine can lead a long, healthy, power producing life.
So now I am confused. Can our engines handle this type of power without strengthening the block? Thanks guys.
