Hey guys I plan on running a to4 turbo very soon and just wanted to get an idea on safe boost.

How much can I run on stock internals?

I don't plan on running to much but just wanted to get an idea....

I have a 3" turbo back system

Front mount cooler

high flow fuel pump

profecb boost controller

Running 175kw on about 9 pound (stock turbo) aiming for around 200-230

I have seen many of you guys running 1bar+..

My aim is for reliability before power.

Cheers!

Russ

Suck it and see............but probably not! When I upped the specs on my car, the ecu handled it OK, I got more power etc, but it ran rich as all getout. When I changed over to a pfc I went from 200 to 220rwkw and from 200+ to almost 500km to a tank of fuel.

sinistagtst: If the injectors, fuel pump, Z32 AFM and computer is there, and it is being setup on the dyno, what is a safe but higher level of boost to run? You say the car can handle 300RWKW on stock internals, is that just exhaust and cramming more boost in with a FMIC, or is that a ported head/cams etc as well?

I'd like to know what a "safe" high level of boost is on the RB25DET for when I upgrade turbos.

I know theres a guy here in adelaide with 300rwkw with stock bottom end, running a gt3040, tomei cams, pfc, injectors, z32 and the usuals and thats on 18psi. most ppl who are getting 300rwkw out of the stock bottom end are usually on bout 17-18psi and have cams but no porting etc. really the only safe way to know how your goin is to put it on the dyno and just seeing by the A/F ratio. So dont just go wacking 15 or 18 psi straight into your car get it tuned by someone proper and then you can see how much boost etc you can run. :laugh:

So as long as my air/fuel is right it'll be fine..

As the stock ecu,injectors,afm won't let me go very high..

They will max out before the boost gets to high. so start around stock and slowly increase..

without pushing anything to hard..

Cheers!! :unsure:

(really should have come to that conclusion myself) :laugh:

But still how much will there take??

it isn't so much a rate of how much pressure. a bigger turbo can flow more air at a lower pressure, so the pressure it could take is partly determined by the turbo.

if you run that turbo on 14psi, it will be well within the stock motor's capabilities and give you good power.

mate i tryd a T04 with with frount mount and fuel pump with sotch ECU and it run like a bag of shit i put a link ecu in there and it runs great not got 240 at the rears running 18 psi putin the car back in next week for an external wast gate and other things but the stock internals can handle up to say 22 psi daily my mechanic was running and neva had a prob till he got EPA kick in the ass but yer there a strong motor mate

Yeh its a to4/t3

I was told at 1 bar full boost came on around 3500rpms

Just had the cops pull me over and tell me that my cars not roadworthy....... :)

anyone got a pod box for sale or know where they can be found???? :)

GOt r33 gtst - Just got Hi-flow turbs - with power fc, fuel reg and walbro pump, intercooler, full exhaust etc - be prepared to do coil packs aswell you will run 10-11psi safely to answer your question - if you do nothing but be prepared to spend $$$'s on fuel cause your a/f is gonna go off the chart. Would recommend if you are going to do it without pfc etc to get a power run done on the dyno just to make sure you will be ok. bout $90 well spent if you ask me.

Best bet is PFC, Fuel Pump, Fuel Reg and definately look at intercooler if not done already.

not really sure on when it started the last thing done to the car was a high flow fuel pump but I didnt think that would have done it..? would'nt the car know that its running rich due to the o2 sensor? or something???

So shouldnt it adjust??

    • 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.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
