It's never too much!

Mr331307 had his running at 500RWHP for 8 months, and the only thing that car did was burnouts, drag racing, or dyno runs (Some of the most stressful things you could do)

It was never treated nicely.

Lasted long enough.

Stock injectors too.

My rb25 has 300kw @19 psi for the last 18 months also. No signs of failure. But i do think that she is on borrowed time. 230-240kw should be no worries.

Btw what turbo are you running?

Stock injectors running 500hp?

all depends, you could daily drive a 300rkw standard internal rb25det for 10years...its all about how you drive it. daily drive it conservatively, give it some herbs every now and then should last years...take it to the track and its unpredictable/

since when the f**k did u have a RB25 R32?
Hahaha Gold! Must of traded up on the LTD gas V8.

hahahah nah still got the ltd as a daily

20psi to make 230 - 240kw = you chose the wrong turbo or your tuner is shit.

I have heard that anything over 18psi is asking for a shortened lifespan on stock internals

The car came from japan with the rb25 in it (hasnt been tuned at all in aus), hks 2535, with supporting mods.. but the car atm is running VERY rich.. like ill just rev it to about 4 n petty slats out a bit, so until i take it for a decent tune, she will not be hitting boost in an effort to save petty lol

I was thinking of taking it to DR DRIFT Sam C, i know he specializes in ca/sr im sure he can do rbs just fine, but i have heard mixed opinions about his work, can anyone else recommend a good dyno tune place in Melbourne?

Also, to sort of solve the whole running rich thing, if i disconnect the battery to reset the ECU would that get things running better before i take it for a 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 :)

Is that the 280rwkw car your talking about?

Std injectors & ECU?

Not really, a 2530/2535 is goin to need that much boost.

They are only a tiny turbo, and IMO for a fat mid-range, quite a good turbo choice

the car he is talkin about is mine... it a freak.... i mean i understand that a dyno is only a tuning tool and counts for verry little, but when it backed it up with a 118mph pass at the strip with limited traction til the end of third (i cant drive to save myself on a drag strip) i figured it cant have been far off the money

well i had a look at the computer and it didnt have any stickers or writing on it to indicate it had been played with, and no, no fuel reg. basicly the only thing the car has got it an rb25, delta fin cooler, full 3" exhaust, gt3037 @ 14psi with 38mm external gate with screamer and an old school sub zero plenum. the injectors are stock as far as im aware, the afm is stock, (series 2 engine if it makes a difference. ) but yeh, it does go well

A high flowed stocker (GCG or Slide) can make 250 on ~18psi, so my "wrong turbo choice" statement stands.

My Slide high flow makes 18psi by 3250rpm, makes for a nice fat mid-range.

Very true. If you redline it everyday it wont see christmas. If you take it easy and give it a bit now and then it will last a fair while longer.

if i remember correctly there are a few issues with RB25 ecu's, i think i remember sam saying somewhere about it.

It depends if it is a chipped r32 rb20 or 25 ecu, or a stock or chipped r33 ecu, i cant see it possibly being a stock r33 ecu. In my experience there is no such thing as a freak car, maybe 10 rwkw, but not 50, and ive done 100s of power runs in cars. If it makes that power, it does it for a reason. It appears to have the supporting hardware, now its just the injectors and management, you need to pull the cover off theecu and have a look.

You totally missed the point of what i said.

The GCG is a larger turbo. It has a larger set of wheels.

This means that it will flow more air at a given psi.

A smaller turbo has smaller wheels in it so flows less air... this is bit generalised point but im sure you see the idea.

Saying its a wrong turbo choice is wrong and very mis-informed.

Its like me saying the GCG turbo is a wrong choice for 250rwkw because a GT35 will make that power on 15psi.

See how dumb that sounds?

The GT35 has LESS response, the GCG a bit more, the HKS 2535/2530 even better again.

You cant come out with "its wrong".

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
