Anyone else gotten over the apparent " 250rwkw " limit using standard compression and pump fuel? My car is geting dyno tuned next week and i will be really dissapointed if the limiting factor is compression.

We have had 305 rwkw out of an R34GTT. Tomei 260 Poncams, R33GTR intercooler, ported and polished cylinder head, standard head gasket (I don't use thick ones) and a Garret GT30. It wasn't all nice to drive, too peaky, lots of lag, poor throtle response.

I'm quite suprised the GT30 didnt fair to well in terms of response? Usually you can get max boost at a tad over 4000rpm on an SR so surely it would have been better on a NEO?

Well it depends on the setup eg manifold design and what the target boost pressure is. However here's a nice example of a HKS GT3037 (aka GT30R with a custom T25 flanged housing) with a 0.87 housing on an S14;

So I naturally would have thought the response would have been better on the RB25?

You can read more about that chart I posted up here;

(One thing to note is I am not sure if the 0.87 in the HKS T25 flanged is the same as the 0.87 in the GT T3 housings, even with the same turbine...) Sorry for going OT but yeah, interested in how the GT30R works with the NEO.

Edited by Busky2k

Interesting topic id say it would be the same for the neo as it is the non neo and obviously depend on the set up.

My question is this, Would a large turbo making 250rwkw easily put less stress on a engine than a small turbo at high boost / peak to above peak efficency?

Just deciding on a turbo for a customers car, 34gtt, either a 2871inwg in a modified nissan ex housing, or a 3037in wastegate, or a gt35r .84 ex wastegate , he wants 300rwkw, but i think this will be pushing it. Any ideas?(99% street 1%drags)

1. does the customer have stock internals...?

2.if doesnt want to crack it open hks 2835pro s or 3037 pro s the 2871 you get too much back pressure due to small ex housing.

3. if engine is going to be cracked open i would suggest the gt35r and that will take u way over 300rwkw.

4. if u want a respnsive fun car then i would more inclined to go for the 2835 or 3037 . 2835 pro s is 420ps and the 3037 pro s is 480ps .

cheers

sorry to bring up this old thread but whats the limits on a NEO RB25DET before you gotta crack it open??? im askin coz i have heard anywhere from 250awkw to 350 awkw which is a big difference... and what would be the best turbo to use (street car looking for good response) up untill internal have to be replaced? would it be smart to just high flow the stock one?

I think 350rwkw is massively over generous.

it would late 5 minutes. maybe.

GCG high flow rocks.

If you are in Melbourne....

350 is over generous hey??? that's what i thought... i just picked up an old fast fours mag of a mate yesterday with the tunning guide for RB20s and RB25s and it says in there that if you wanna run anywhere around 300rwkw on stock internals then you better be very careful... so i guess aroung 270 - 280 would be ok if the tunning is right... once i get to about 200rwkw i mite ivestigate cgc bit more... thanks for you reply..

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
