Re: max hp from Ls turbo?
You're comparing apples to oranges. Boosted non-vtec 1.8 vs. a boosted 1.6L vtec motor. You can't safely say how much a car will put down without knowing what all you're doing. I mean are you boosting a stock motor? How much boost? What are you supporting mods? Are you getting it tuned?
There are plenty of guys that can give you a roundabout number, but you need to let them know more details.

Well, since I've only seen 5000hp come out of a 4 cylinder piston motor, I'm gonna say the absolute maximum you could possibly achieve is 4999hp. Of course, it probably will fall short of that by a few thousand hp, but that is the max.
