    Have you been smoking weed and drinking heavily simultaneously again?

    I've actually only done that once, simultaneously. Not fun.. it kind of freaks you out.

    Hmm, I think it's a hallucinogen.

    Or, you know, look at the owner's manual...

    LOL! You guyes are crazy. But anyway I would like to know how do you find out how much power does a turbo produce. Most companies would say for example 300 hp, well is that 300 + the output your engine makes or is it already included with a setup engine.

    K, I suggest you spend time browing howstuffworks.com rather than asking the easy questions here. Then we'll have a positive attitude when you come ask us questions.

    wouldn't this have been better off in the technical questions thread?

    It'll probably vary depending on a crapload of variables.

    So...what business will you start?

    Lamborghini Diablo ownership's a pretty lofty goal for anyone. Me, I'd like a Subaru Legacy 2.5GT Spec-B. Low yet high enough.

    Buying a Diablo isn't that hard a goal to achieve.

    Buying one good condition, and keeping it in good condition, let alone modify it to a twin turbo set-up is where the real expense lies. That is that you will have to self insure as I can't imagine that many companies will cover you doing this.

    Matra et Alpine, better yet how bout you stop commenting on every thread that I post and say nothing if you honestly believe my post are nothing. I asked a question, it is on whomever to explain it or not comment. I am just trying to clearify my position and understand what I can and can not do to a car's engine. With due respect.

    the fact is that this isn't a matter that can be discussed easily on a forum. and engine, and all the happenings inside of it, are more complex than what you can figure out. the last exam I did a couple of week ago was about engines, turbos and supercharging, with other smaller parts. It was a base level exams, but not so easy if studied properly. than in my future I will hav to more specific exams just about engines, and I'm pretty sure I still will lack of some notions even after those.
    said this, you're questions are posted in a way that we don't know anything about your technical background, so they, your questions could be similar to those of my mum when I'm arguing about something I just read on a book.
    Bruxell gave you some excellent hints, demonstrating his knowledge about engines, but when you say that you are planning to add another radiator it's a pointless sentence, because, you don't know if there is enough space, for example, then, this radiator should work with the original cooling implant, which can't be modified since it's part of the engine itself, so you would need a bugger pump for example for moving the cooling liquid faster, but then when your engine is going at a low rpm the cooling system would be too much, and your combustion would be very very scarce if not absent due to a certain amount of reasons.
    so without entering a too technical discussion, that's why someone could not like the way you are asking things.

    btw, to raise your rpm, you could lower the weight of moving parts of the engine, but it would make your engine more fragile, and reduce friction between them, which isn't so easy to do.
