Children with fast toys who think owning a car makes them an expert on said car.

Grow up Greg. Dan is a MECHANIC, you know, went to trade school and put up with all the shite an apprentice has to go through. And now his knowledge is available to those of us who treat him with respect.

DOU33...

when you approached me to detail your car, i was more than willing to do it, for the price of materials (i.e. i wasn't going to charge you for my time or anything, even though it would have taken me close to a day to do, due to the shit condition you described your car as being in... i.e. it hasn't been looked after) as you seemed to be a half-decent guy..

Well, after all your defamatory (yes, you read correctly, your statements are defamatory) statements towards a certain member of this forum, who has done nothing but go out of his way to help you, both online and in real life, i retract my offer, as you do not seem to be the type of person who i want to attract to be part of my clientel, and i sincerely hope you grow a brain sooner or later.

Edit: Oh, and in relation to this topic, i am running 11psi through a stock RB25 turbo on an RB20...

On an RB25DET, i wouldn't be game to run any more than about 11 or 12psi *with the supporting mods (i.e. intercooler, exhaust etc)

Oh, also, if you decide to mod the car, and you take it to a mechanic, it usually pays to listen to the advice that the mechanic gives you, if he says to take it easy for the first little bit, instead of driving out of the driveway, after everything has just been put back together, and redlining the first few gears.... if you act like this, then don't be surprised when shit goes wrong, and it will be YOUR FAULT

Ok now that is over....

The fact is that I have done the tests and I know the results.

You can run 20psi constantly on an RB25. But like I said in my earlier post, as long as all ancillaries and tuning is correct. The standard AFM is just capable of handling boost pressures around 14psi because the power output would require an airflow of greater value than the standard AFM can measure. If your RB25 is making 210rwkw then the amount of air required to create that horsepower is enough to max out the standard AFM.

This is an example of an ancillary that is incorrect.

Disappointing we just didnt get to show it     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
