With that said, I'd be suprised with anything over 400rwhp. As stated, turbos are too small.

. high compression/direct injection or not, if you can name a better motor to compare to the N54 than the 2JZ, i'd be happy to hear it. i was just making as best comparison as i could in trying to explain why we not should expect 500+ whp/wtq out of the simple modifications done to this particular N54. i'm right with you on the power guestimate though...i'm expecting to see something right around the 400whp mark.hey Ben, did you get a chance to throw her on the dyno yesterday or the day before? we're all dying to see some results
