im about to start sourcing parts to begin my build on my old 25 sitting under the house and would like to know from people who have done it, how they get there 25 to rev higher i would like to take it out to about 8500RPM if possible. motor will be forged bottom end all balanced obviuosly was thinking lightened flywheel and harmonic blancer, port and polish head, set of valve springs and i have a set of hks 264 with 8.5mm lift intake and exhaust cams that will go in as well. any other suggestions to get it to rev happily and safely.

thanks

As the others have said, the advantages of power are had earlier along, not right at the end, if you want power increase the turbo put NOS in, 8500rpm aint going to gain you much if any at that high, and all it is going to do is wear things alot much alot quicker than normal operating levels, No gain in it, pointless thread.

On another note, why dont you check out the FI dyno results, and you may just see were the power is to be had with the extensive modifications list to go with it.

Cheers A :sleep:

I only needed 8000rpm with my GT30 setup.

Was making power there, but much over that there was no point.

All depends on the setup as to wether or not you'll need 8500rpm...

So throw some more specs out to us, i would suspect you might not need that much.

was aiming at 8500 so i have alttile lee way so limiter about 8000ish will be stock crank and rods preped accordingly with forgies bottom end all balanced lightened flywheel and harmonic blancer, port and polish head, set of valve springs, set of hks 264 with 8.5mm lift intake and exhaust cams that will go in as well, add in microtech to control it all turbo i am still undecided on it will be street driven looking for 250rwkw want power and boost to come on hard and early and hold as best as possible right through to redline (where ever it set to to?)

With 250rwkw, there is no way you'll need 8500rpm dude.

A GCG hi-flow or similar (that will make 250rwkw) just isnt going to make powee up there :sleep:

Around 7000-7500 is where the fun is going to end for you so an 8000rpm limiter is going to be more than ample for your application.

cool thanks nismoid i sort of figured that may be the case but for arguements sake lets say i was to throw on something in the gt35/40 range if i have a change of heart and go stupid would you say there would be an advantage in letting it spin to 8ish

why is everyone telling him its useless or 'why' he wants to do it rather then actually trying to help him achieve what he wants to achieve regardless if its practical or not?...if its possible then why not let him do it. Its his car, engine and money and ultimately hes responsible for it all.

Everyone says there is no need to rev a 30det past 7000-7500 we send ours to 8000 with possibility to 8500 cause it just keeps making power. Sometimes having a wider powerband helps.

i think the 300 mark may be a little extreme for now any way, no reason i cant bolt on a bigger turbo down the track if i get bored and want more.

the engine is being built with more power in mind for later i think 250kw will scare me enough at the moment

average power makes a car fast, focus on that

True. That's why lifting the rev limiter is an enormous help to average power when you use a large turbo. Looks like this guy might want a GT35 and the extra revs will help a a lot with average power since there will be a lot of lag in the mid range. I'm sure with that turbo selection he wants more than 250rwkw at some time in the future.

Are GTR rods the same length? ie. no probs with pushing the pistons higher/lower in their bores?

Theres no point, but if you really want to rev that high the most popular setup is an r32 GTS-T conversion with forged internals and proper oiling mods. You could probably see 10,000 rpm safely..

Yes this setup is far superior to the rb25 in every way..

Also, this post is entirely inspired by sarcasm.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
