it varies depending on so many things with the turbo, like what oil has been through it, has it been regularly been sreviced ( mine was running 15psi with front mount and had no issues).But with that intercooler i agree no more than 10psi.

to be safe id say 10, becuase things go wrong,

and its not a perfect world

i mean why push it to the max if you want to to last

if you want to see how long it will hold up for, run 15 and see what happens

ALSO METAL HEAD GASKETS FTW!

well, if it f**ks up, time for an engine rebuild..........im sure some famous workshops can do their rebuilds properly for less than 15ks.

on the other hand pushing the stock motor too far will only cause you problems, unexpected ones coming from experience.....

so dont wind your boost up too high, dont tune the car too agreesively, dont bolt on a turbo which is too big for the motor to handle....

I upped the boost to 12psi and the ecu was shite!! Missing all over the place and wasn't pretty. New aftermarket ecu and same boost = tons more kw!!! Very happy. Now to find some decent coil packs before I go mad.

Seems every step you take causes something else to reach it's limit.

Firstlly Id run a search as this topic is one of the most common topics covered here at SAU...

Plus id do the search in the forced induction part of the forum as the max psi levels here in QLD are the same as everywhere else...

That aside,

I ran 14psi on a stock turbo but this was with everything else in place and a perfect tune...

I would not suggest it on a stock ecu tho...

I cant remember if its .7 bar or 7 psi standed. but the turbo can run safly without any problem at .9 or 9 psi without ever suffering any problems related to turbo wear and or over heating due to oil temp.

This was an offical release from the nissan motor sports unit where they are made.

You should probly do a google on it but I know 100% that it is within that range that it is totaly safe.

you will need a new ecu, fmic, exhust turbo back + dump pipe, HD cluch, maybe injectors, new fuel pump and mostly 15 psi comfortably a hiflow turbo or a new turbo and a good tune and might pull about 220 to 240 kwrw

Thats the answer i like to hear soon as i get a turbo 33 or 34 depends how much money im willing to for out i will be following your list ive actually copy pasted it and saved it in a note pad file. thx heaps

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
