how do i increase horsepower?

[deedee]

Horsepower and Torque at the wheels. Well, this is an expensive one and it depends how much horsepower you asking at. A good blown engine can cause you blood and sweat perhaps much more expensive than a brand new car if you really want speed. Avg price for modification, 20 up to 100 Grand(U.S dollar) for street legal. Non street legal it cost more. Stillen is accepting engine modification into any country except afghanistan.

adding a blower(supercharger) doesnt cost an average of 20K(US dollars) you can pick up lots of supercharger kits from 1500-5000 bucks.i have a blown engine on my driven truck.i roughly invested 10K and got 480RWHP.
i wouldnt suggest going with a supercharger tho on your car since your car will be stressed alot by trying to turn the impeler of the supercharger.
superchargers are much better with bigger engines(V8) cause V8 has alot of power to begin with to be able to turn the impeler without causing lost of engine HP.

With the rising cost of fuel do you really need to upgrade your ride for additional horsepower and torque? If that is your daily ride, I suggest do an upgrade that leans more on N/A and not on turbo. Turbo is nice but this is expensive, and if you're planning to boost your stock engine, it ain't worth bro. A change engine plus turbo is more suitable, but since you don't have enough budget for that then settle for the best thing which is just fine tuning and replacing worn parts of your engine. That will surely increase engine performance.

erickdpogi is right, settle for the best that wont put a big whole in your pocket.

Bolt on power is what the called " The fourth wave". You want more street power but, you dont want to risk engine damage. This is various popular external engine modification that are in the after market. Unlike the normally aspirated engine, where bolts on engine modification only produce marginal acceleration gains of a three to five tenths of a seconds and only affect engine power in the last 1500 rpm before red line. This is what supercharger or turbo car by translates in to significant midrange torque as well as higher RPM power gains.
In your case of your BLOWN ENGINE V8 as you stated and additional bolt-on supercharger and cost only less than TEN G, well that is very good deal of a price for having 480 Rear Wheel HorsePower, which is translate that if your TRUCK has a Manual Tranny then your HORSEPOWER is around 565HP. If it is an AUTO TRANNY then your HORSEPOWER is around 600HP.
But, remember when doubling your engine power as you push the gears together harder, the amount of loss increases by means of gear mesh friction. You must aware that even w/ manual trans has about 15% drivetrain loss, and the Auto Trans. has about 18%. Drivetrain losses is affected only the mass of the components bearing friction, accessory belt loss etc., and does not increase as power increases. Your TRANNY doesnt suddenly take double the HP to spin gears.

Blown engine called stock internal modification also known as BIG POWER and that is for those of you who to find out a motor will take before it brakes. This is very long process and only the most knowledgable of engines can do this kind of process.

thanks mga sirs for all the idea. marami ako natutununan sa inyo..mdyo mahal nga, d pala... mahal talaga! cguro baguhin kn lang.. hay naku.. magastos talaga, cguro mga 20hp na lang... hehe. teka ilan po ba talaga ang hp ng honda type z (2002) ? wala nakalagay sa manual, some say its 109? nabasa ko sa mag 85 hp lang... aim ko tlaga muna ngaun is to modify ung exhaust and maginstall ng airintake, nabasa ko lang sa mag, pero mas maganda yung mga advice nu kc pwede ako magtanong, kung upgrade ko po ba exhasut ko, will it affect my fuel consumption?

curious lang ako, how'd you know all the engine types? san ba nakikita yung mga ganyang info? specs, details? bago lang talaga ko sa cars, wala pa talga alam.

salamat ulit... more power guys!

lemme clarify a little bit here.a "BLOWN engine" is an engine with a supercharger.not a "blown engine with an additional supercharger" hence blown from the "blower".
when i said its not a good configuration to put a bloer/supercharger on 4 cylinder engine cause it will have a hard time turning the blower is just like putting a belt driven fan instead of an electric fan.any accesories that will add to turning the crankshaft like the AC compressor,belt driven fan radiator and any supercharger will rob power from the engine cause its all belt driven.
any supercharger(roots,twin screw or centrifugal)are all belt driven unlike turbo that is being spun by the exhaust flow from the engine hence its easier on the engine especially 4 bangers as oppose to a 4 cylinder trying to spin a superchargers impeler upto(and some faster depending on how much boost you need)65000RPM.
its not the gear spin wehere the HP gets lost from a supercharger but from the engine.

don't waste time with high tension wires etc na. spend money on parts that actually free up or better yet, produce more power.
