Hey all

how much boost and how many kws of power can a rb25det take (obviously depending on driving style, but generally...)?

my rb is pushing 230-240 at the wheels on 20psi (very rarely on max boost) im just worried the internals are gonna kark it...

Should i be heaps concerned about making more then 250 on stock internals or can the pistons n stuff take more?

Cheers

As above

There are many topics on this.

Its each to their own. You can make over 300rwkw, but most people dont have it that way daily, and to my knowledge the others have have not, all died at some point

i have a mate who has a rb25 runnin 280rwkw... bigger turbo blah blah but yeah its not showing any signs of dying any time soon...

Theres a guy here in the states who had an rb25 with 595 rwhp in his Z car.

Keyword *had* the internals held up for a while.. But man, thats pushing it... Thats a ton of horsepower even WITH a good tune.

yeh mine made 254 and went bang after 3 months but that was due to bad tuning aswell but....i know theres a dude here in sa making over 300 on the stock internals and has done for a while

Over 300rwkw on stock internals?! That must be an amazingly good tune...

hahahha

well the 25 is in a s13 silvia... and std computer, std injectors.. standard everything except for GTR pump... lol

i didnt believe it untill i seen the dyno read out...

neways he is building another motor with gtr rods n pistions...

neways he knows what he wants :P

I had 350hp for ages before a hole ended up in piston 1, but that was down to either injector failure or a crank angle sensor problem I had. A mate has 410hp on his & thats still going, but it would probably go if he kept it on full boost for a while.

impressive gt-passage.

so in theory a bigger turbo with less boost is safer than a smaller turbo with more psi making the same power? sure it will be a bit laggier but will be safer for standard internaled rb25? is this a valid theory? common knowledge?

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
