hey all just want to know what the max boost a rb25det can handle regarding just the motor its self...

atm it is running about 1.5bar with a t70 turbo and all is well, just want to know if that is safe

is the motor capable of more boost or is this about it???

no pinging and no leaning out, so far :)

Cheers Acea

Its not about how much boost can it handle its about how much power it can handle on stock internals. What power are you making at the moment? Then we can give you a basic guide to what is generally considered safe on stock internals. Around 250-260rwkw for longetivity of engine.

cheers for the fast reply

heres the full story... me and a mate have been building his 32 rb25det for ever and have logically progressed to the point where right now after getting a 3in put on 3 days ago the 38mm gate is to small to bypass enough gas. so with the wategate connected straight to the manifold it spikes at 1.5 and drops to about 1.35 in 3rd. where as before with such a restrictive exhaust the max boost it would run was about 14 psi with the wastegate connected to nothing or the boost controller set to max.... being in wodonga and both working full time its going to be about 2 weeks before we can install a tial 44mm gate or something bigger (unsure if 44mm gate is enough?)

it made 200rwkw with old exhaust and i think now at 1.5bar and a free flowing exhaust its probably pushing 250 ish (really unsure? +or- half a brick) but the stuck in the seat factor has increased considerably and it breaks traction in 3rd...

just need to know if 1.5bar is ok untill we can change the gate and get it back on the dyno for a tune

cheers acea

AFR's are sweet thanks to a wb02 kit :) we have the computer mapped for a z32 maf but are using the r32 one to put the comp into saturation so at full noise and 7k its running about 11.5:1 (as soon as we are happy with the boost controllability its straight on the dyno for a re map and some timing)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
