Here is an age old question, how much power do you think i will have at the wheels with the following mods guys??

RB25det

*Turbo back mandrel bend staino exhasut

*Pod filter-re positioned outside engine bay

*GTR front mount cooler

*Boost controler 13-14 psi

Any info would be great, I figure someone might have some similar mods who can shed some light for me!

Hi skyr31, with the standard ECU you won't get to the 14psi. So sorry can't answer the question directly.

When you fix that problem, the ceramic turbine won't last very long at 14 psi. Lots of people have found 12 psi is the limit, some don't make it past 10 psi.

In an attempt to answer your question. Let's assume you stick to 12 psi and have a tuneable ECU to fix the overboost limiter and the ignition retarder and the fuel enricher. With your mods you should be looking at 200 rwkw, if the guy tuning your car knows what he is doing.

Hope that helps

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
