well it depends what other support mods are on the car, fuel pumps injectors, intercoolers etc. My car blew some ring lands at 1.1bar and that´s with a HKS GT3040, ARC fmic, stock injectors and engine management. Other people have done 1.3 bar, other less than me. You just have to mod the car the way you want, put it on the dyno and tune it to the max it will handle.

well you cant say a certain boost pressure is what an engine can take..

difference cams can affect the compression ratio hence allowing you to run more boost.

the main thing that will hurt the engine is the tune, not boost.

also remember that each turbo can flow different rates at each level of psi..

for example : HKS 2535 at 18 psi tops out at 250rwkw where as a HKS GT3040 at 18 psi is pushing 300rwkw..

both these engines tuned at the same place, sam cam specs injector sizes and mgmt ECU..

craved is spot on here. most people think boost dictates how much power a car makes, that is not true at all. a car tyre at 30psi and a truck tyre at 30psi. both have the same pressure (or boost) but both have completely different amounts or air in them. airflow makes power. so its true that a gt2835 at 9psi may be fine but a gt42 at 9psi may not, as the gt42 will flow a stackload more air, maxing out injectors and so on...

Sydneykid did an excellent post about this topic, (where? I dont know) he went on to explain how removing casting roughness in the manifolds and how intercooler and piping size all effect the final outcome.

airflow makes power.

Your question should be "How many KW can I safely squeeze out of the RB25" and the answer is around 250 rwkw, some have died before this and other have gone past it.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
