I agree with 90% of what you have said but this idea that 300kw will kill a Rb25 is silly. The cars arent on max boost all the time, and if the tune is good you wont have a problem, plenty of cars making this power now days without a hitch. who would of thought that a standard RB25 could handle over 150 passes on 100 shot of nitrous? there are a few cars getting around that are daily driven and have copped that abuse also.

The only things that will kill one is lack of maintenance, poor tune or overboosting without correct supporting mods eg ECU, fuel pump injectors. If you set yourself a power goal, you can then modify to suit. common knowledge that standard Turbo can make 200rwkw with FMIC, Exhaust, PFC & some type of boost controller.

But as the guys have said, first mod should always be your ECU.

You said people over there have trouble with stand alone

So D-jetro or not, AFM/MAF you'll have issues eitherw way going by what you said.

As for the t04z an other stuff you need... budget around $10,000 for the rebuild :)

Soon as you get into the 300rwkw barrier your gonna bust a motor sooner or later

He is talking about an RB26 in a GTR Stuart that he wants to race, not a Adrians car still running within the limits of sensibility.

@ 400rwkw its going to pop.

Track GTR (more than one now) @ 330rwkw eventually kills the motors.

Street is fine, racing is not

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
