What is the 13BT engine capable off?
Hello people,
In your oppinion, id like to know what is the most that the 13BT turbo engine (87-91) capable of withstanding, without dowellin the motor, in terms of horsepower numbers and how much boost can be run on it.
Provided you have a good combination of parts and great tuning.
Please let me know,

Depends on how long you want it to last. More HP will mean that it will blow up sooner. I think gsracer was fairly accurate though. Who knows how long those motors will last. though.
What about a Bridgeported s4 with a huge turbo and 30psi of boost. I'm sure it would make far more than 500hp, but it wouldn't last too long. also wouldn't spool up till 5000rpms.

lower compression doesn't mean more power, quite the opposite. However lower compression does make it possible to run higher boost levels without detonation, so it's a trade off.
the s5 engine internals are stronger than the s4

At least 13BT's are cheap though. I heard swapping in a 13B-REW is even more harder to do than a 20B swap. I'd say do it if you have lots of money to burn...
Otherwise, a built 13BT is a more wallet friendly path.

What S5 internals are stronger than the S4?
i only ask because i have an S5 engine and im building an S4 Turbo engine, i know the diff in compression bla bla but what else?

As for building up either of them the S4 will let you run more boost, the S5 will have lighter rotors, its up to you to decide what you want. I'd go with the S5.
What are you putting in it, as far as seals, porting, and other goodies?

My goal now is 400HP, but i have to build the car back up again. :P Sold everything due to financial stress. Have a look at my site for more info.
