tuner rekons to make a maximum of220-230 rwk i need to raise boost to at least 15-16 psi on a the hiflowed slide turbo but is it safe at that boost level with stock internals? here are my mods incase no one knows

-hiflow slide turbo

-pod

-pfc

-fmic

-3 in turbo back exhaust

- ebc

-555 cc injectors (in the way)

-tomei fuel pump in tank ( on the way)

So basically if it took 10 psi to make 200rwk stock turbo and 10psi on a gt30r made for arguments sake 230rwkw. The eninge is under more load with the gt30r?

AM i correct saying psi is not a direct relation of stresses on teh motor.

More correctly put it would be that there are other stresses, RPM being the most dangerous.

:P cheers :O

provideing you can control the thing from pinging have done a few 25s but timeing isues always pop up but you should be ok with these mods you have .

Not so much of a problem these days with high octane fuel and ethanol eg; Shell V Power Racing 100 ron with 5% ethanol.

:P cheers :O

im fairly sure slide turbos are rated to 19psi safely... as far as what the stock internals will take.... i read that anything less than 270-280 rwkw is fine on stock internals.. so in answer, you should be able to easily run 18 psi quite safely.... with supporting mods you should be able to hit 250...

p.s. u will definately need that fuel pump and the bigger injectors to start getting much past 220-230... once you get those put in, go and get it retuned @ 18 PSI (or 20 if your prepared to accept the risks).

also remember that just because 9/10 people can run 18 or 20 psi every day with no probs, im sure there are stories of people running 16 psi on a highflow / bigger turbo that had their stock internals give up... its the risk u take i guess.

I run a Garrett GT3037 56t, .63 rear.

This thing pumps out some serious power, but is also a tiny bit laggy stopping the motor coping a hard hit everytime the power comes on.

I also cheat.........Water methanol Injection..

That cools the combustion temperatures by heaps, and prevents a lot of detonation. At one stage I did a few runs at 24psi and it just kept on pulling. Absolutely no detonation, and the AFR's were spot on.

unless we can see the compressor flow maps for it saying its safe for xyz psi means nothing

its just the turbine speed that is driven by the manifold pressure. the more pressure the later the wastegate is opened, which means faster compressor speed. it doesnt mean its flowing more useful air, just means there is more pressure.

well my tuner told me to run 16 psi so if he blows my car up he's payin for it lolz

you can run whatever boost you want as long as the tune is spot on...

should tune it on 16psi and run like 15 or 14 to be safe if your paranoid...

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
