forum geeks??

me??

hahaha

Sorry mate, but I have under 200rwkw and I'll run rings around you! :happy: (Andru)

Seriously though man, ok, to hit over 260?

a GT3540

and a Z32 AFM or the nissan V8 AFM?

But still, Id be looking at internals to keep that engine alive for longer period of time.

And even then, you can still make 280 plus rwkw

3540 is way to big for the rb25 to make 300rwkw

hell my HKS 3040 is a tad too big for what i get and be nice and streetable.

oops

my mistake

so what would you say to use then?

(ECR033 - Brendan makes around 280 rwkw on this combination and ran a high 11)

What if you decided to use the RB30 bottom head? Obviously thats out of the question here but "theoretically" (sp?)

I think "MILF" the VL turbo has that combination and makes similar power

GT35/40 FTW.. you'll make well over 300rwkw with reasonable boost, that answers the "what's needed" question. But as everyone has stated, don't bother chasing that power and beyond unless you're willing to spend $$$$ to build the engine with forged internals + all the supporting fuel, cooling, breathing mods.

Hey Chris,

Small correction mate - I'm using a GT3040R at the moment :happy:

To keep the car streetable, I personally wouldn't go for anything larger than a GT30 series on a std rb25.

im not to fused bout turbo size i know what im after, its just all the screwing around for everything to keep up with the turbo. its a hard job but im gonna give it a go.

how long will the car last with stock internals with 300rwkw. if possible id rather slap the turbo on now with the fuel pump and injectors, and when i get enough money put in the pistons, rods, ect

will it do alot of dmg or anything if im running 300kws with stock internals

i always thouught of maybe buying a whole new engine and doing a engine swap, makes sense and might actually be cheaper, but like i said, i hate that whole engine surgery crap

lol mate my car atm is 220rwkws......i know all u forum geeks think im some noob but take it easi lol....

i dont even think highflowing my turbo would even get anymore then 260rwkws, any suggestions on at least hitting 280? without all that engine sugeryy

lets see, if your aim is around 280rwkw then GT3040 with cams would do the trick. anything bigger will be laggy. and obviously other auxiliary components such as afm, fmic & etc will be needed.

as for injectors, 600cc would be sufficient for what you want to achieve.

really? thats not a bad option then, i just hope wat u say is true, i think i would defiently need pistons though :happy:

A mate has an r33 with this setup (r34 would get similar result) almost 290rwkw if i remember correctly. Cams are the important factor here much better mid range power, more driveable.

Regarding longevity, if you track the car with 280rwkw the stock engine will let go sooner than later, if you mainly using it on the street then it should be fine as long as you treat it with care.

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
