13B Turbo, Mildly Ported = 224rwhp?

I am looking at buying this rx7, series 2 with a 13B turbo, mildly ported, wolf 3d (i dont know what other mods, but that was all he mentioned so i am guessing not much more) having 224rwhp. Is this reasonable and what kind of times should this be running?
Thanks

It is reasonable, and plenty more could be extracted from that setup. 224rwhp seems kind of mild for a ported 13B Turbo. It's even mild for a stock port turbo.

As far as your numbers:
With that HP (224), if the car weighs:

    You can get all the calculations you need at

    This one appears to be one of the most accurate calculators on the net.

    224 rwhp for a stock 13bt! Seems extremely high when it came originally with 180-299 hp at the fly wheel.

    Mild port and a few minor mods should give it OK.

    Are the theoritical times proved on the strip?

    Apologies hit the wrong key on my lap top at 2 in the morning in a dim motel room. I meant to say 200hp on a stock turbo 2. 299 would be a flyer!

    Often wonder whether power is worth it. Just got fined $125 for doing 9kph over the legal 100 on a straight flat rural road 20km from the nearest town on a Sunday afternoon with no traffic! The police leave the camera by the side of the road and go to sleep under the nearest tree. They dont even have to wake up as you go past.

    Not really, I have a local friend who did a Full TII swap with an 89 motor, and 88 Turbo (frankenstein!) and has a ported wastegate as well.

    Stock Block, Stock EVERYTHING, except a Good 3" exhaust, a fuel cut defender, NPR FMIC, and 10 lbs of boost.
    245 hp to the rear wheels on the dyno over at SFP.

    The car runs low 13's, at about 100 mph. We guesstimate the weight to be about 2800 with a full tank, stereo, etc..

    Should put it in the 300's easy. with a Good Port, etc/

    The trap speed should be very close to those numbers,
    ET's can fluctuate due to driver skill.

    However, after the fact, - many of the Racer guys over here do dyno testing, and we have seen their 1/4 mile performances. The calculator was amazingly accurate - especially for the trap speed.

    Thanks for posting the calculator, it will be very useful in deciding what to do in future.

    My question was a stock turbo II put out about 170rwhp, what needed to be done to bring it up to 224?
