hahah

I'm about to do the same thing - go from about 170 to about 220 to 230. It's almost a 30% increase so it should be good.

I also would like to know how much of a difference it will be. I realise the boost wont come on quite as quick (will be using GCG high flow)..

The way I see it I will lose a bit from 2000rpm to about 3500rpm but after that it will be ++..

So I lose power over 1500rpm to gain 3500rpm (i.e. from 3500-7000rpm)

Cheers

Im contemplatig the same power figure as it a cheaper option than my mechanics recommndation which will give me 260+rwkw.

Those with around 230rwkw can u give soem sort of idea of wha tits like to drive? is ther emore wheelspin? is the extra power more useable? etc thanks.

good point. ive ran cars with more power than me and beaten them due to them wheelspinning. they get really pi$$d off lol

yes its a big jump but no its not scary...

but you need to know how to control a car thats sideways.

as soon as i got my license i got into rallying.

(state level) i only used a cheap dato 1600 but the years i spent on dirt sideways have done me well.

im now above 300kws and its still not scary.

you just have to use your head more then your right foot. i mean where can you use 250kws????

you cant on the road. within .5 second your at the speed limit so why do you need any more?

in saying that

because its fun and the feeling of opening her up takes my breath away every time.

so enjoy 230 while your there and use it as a learning curve towards 250 , 270 , then 300 and beyond.

cheers

Yeah gets boring quickly. I have 270rwkw and am trying to resist the temptation to go for 300+.

and thats the rub. It will feel qucik for a while then you'll want more. You'll stop renting p0rno and buying maccers to save for that oil pressure guage, then you'll stop hanging out at the pub on Fridays cause if you save that money you can afford that front mount , always chasing that first buzz....WHERE WILL IT END MAN.WHERE!!!

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
