Boost - How Much? (rb25det Standard Internals And Big Turbo)

Hi guys, I have a fairly simple question. I want to run a little more boost into my RB25DET. Turbo is a Garret GT30r (With the T04S 7 blade wheel) Its currently running a standard RB25DET turbo exhaust housing ground out to fit. Full boost comes on at 3200rpm in 2nd, and the car is fairly spastic by 4,000rpm - 5,000rpm. (oh, and power fc, datalogit, fuel pump, 555cc injectors, full exhaust, 600x300x75 fmic)

Here's the catch - I'm running water methanol injection 50\50 mix and 2 nozzles (175ml minute). One pre Intercooler, and one pre throttle body.

The kit is set to start 0% pressure at 5 psi and 100% pressure at 15psi. Its a high pressure kit (Boost Cooler by Snow performance)

Someone told me that the water methanol will keep the pistons cooler than normal, and that I should be able to run a little more boost.

I'm currently running 18psi, and yeah, 2 psi extra on this turbo is going to make a BIG difference.

Compression test showed all cylinders above 160psi, and 3% leakdown.

Anybody got some suggestions?

ok, to sum it up -

1. Is that going to be too much boost for my Cast pistons even though the water meth is keeping them cool?

2. is my exhaust housing too small for this kind of boost?

3. Power Figure - No idea, haven't had it dyno'd yet. Runs 110mph - 112mph down the strip though.

4. Anything else I need to be aware of?

how failsafe is the meth injection system?

ie, if it fails for whatever reason, i would expect instant detonation as the intake temps would have a massive change, instant-gib like in unreal tournament.

Runs 110mph - 112mph down the strip though. What times it running on those mph. Were you going to get it tuned again on the higher boost did you dyno tune it the 1st time or it hasnt been on a dyno period?

What petrol are you running???

110-112mph, your not making huge power, i think your motor should be able to take a heap more boost. Im running 20psi out of a HKS 2535, everything stock and running 116mph.

Water meth system is fairly fault proof at the moment. I haven't got a saftey system yet, but there is one that measures pressure and opens th wastegate when the water runs out or drops in pressure

I managed a 12.9, but that was with a crappy launch (bogged down) 60 foots aren't anything to be excited about, I don't think I got below 2 secs for the 60 foot.

Was having syncro problems too, they didn't help..

Running BP ultimate (98 ron), and water methanol on top of that. The water methanol makes a f**kING HUGE difference. 2 x 175ml \ min jets = 350ml minute being sprayed in. The jets are awesome too, when they are spraying, the mist is so fine it looks like steam.

116mph? Is your turo bigger than mine? what sized exhaust housing do you have on it?

350L per minute? No wonder you go through so much methanol. Do you need so much?

Glen's only uses a fraction of that and recorded a max knock of 9.

Haven't altered the maps either and prior to the meth kit install, I had a yellow flash pulling hard up the same big test hill at Cooroy.

Detonation is the greatest enemy , water injection is one way to keep combustion temperatures down to a level that the end gasses wont spontaneously ignite before the spark initiated burn gets to them .

There is no guarantee that more boost will make more power . More airflow helps but greater exhaust restriction just creates more reversion . The unknown factor with that kind of water injection is equal water distribution between all six cylinders . It only takes one not getting enough water to detonate its piston to death . Also I would be a bit concerned about that injector before the intercooler because there's no way to tell if its filling up with water . When water vapor cools it condenses and could be winding up in the foot of the IC .

If you are using 98 i cant see a reason for the meth...

If your using meth and you only have 110-112 MPH then im guessing no more than approx 220-230rwkw.

I ran a 12.9 @ 109 with a 2.0 60ft with 220rwkw

If you require 98 and meth additive then your tune IMO is sus, or you have a restriction elsewhere thats causing issues with detonation

I dont believe he can access 98 octane where he is, hence the meth inj

heh yeah we have 98 ron now.

The water doesn't make that much difference.. I'm not really sure hey. I can't add anything more to it because it loves detonation.

I'm running the stock ex housing ground to fit the GT30r core, do you think that is choking the exhaust flow?

haha, no beers for me :(

Mafia, i think your making about the limit of what its going to make.

Maybe a tad more in it but i doubt it.

Its the T04S wheel, in conjunction with a small housing.

Its two things that dont work with each other that well

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
