if you want it to last dont sacrifice a nice safe street tune for the bragging rights of an extra ten kilowatts or so those mods will make very nice power for a street car look in the rb25 turbo upgrade thread and you will find someone who has close to those mods and see how much there making as a rough guide but every car is different.

If you want your car to last upgrade fuel pump and injectors.

With your current set-up, i'll say maybe 220rwkw. Upgrade injectors and pump then you should make about 240-250rwkw at about 17psi.

The the engine's lifespan all depends on how you drive it and how often you thrash it.

100 ks is not a lot.

A lot of the cars here are are fanging really hard with over 150 000 or even 200 ks.

At the end of the day, replacing the engine with another one from the wreckers will only cost as much as you spent on the pfc + tune (not a lot).

In answer to your question, the limit will be the stock afm and injectors. Probably around 210-220 rwkw.

1 bar on that turbo will be a bit much i think. Maybe around 12-13psi will be more like it.

Is that due to his fuel system or do you think the turbo is not up to the task of higher boost?

I used 18psi on my hi-flow without a problem.

Just keep in mind if you go above 14psi you more than halve the engine life.. So if you reckon its got 2 years left in it, relatively speaking.... Cut that proposionatley by your boost............ Low boost and a good setup will see you dust most big dollar cars to 100kmh....... After that let them cry to there mumma's.......

Nah, the turbo is more than up to the task. Those ones fang mate. It's just that your injectors/stock afm could be maxing out. Since the turbo flows so much more than stock, 12-13 psi on that turbo could be as much as 15-16 psi on the stock turbo.

so it should make 210-220 at that boost.

Edit: as slide said above

Ah.... what makes you think that? Engine life has been discussed, and it's never a simple formula. You could have bad luck happen like snap the cam belt, and the engine is gone.

Or if you're sitting up at the limiter all day doing burnouts/drifting, it won't last as long as a modded engine that's driven easily.

As I always believe, buy a good car, look after the engine, treat it well, and it'll look after you. By treating it well, i don't mean drive like a granny. I mean service it with good oil, and frequently. Have it tuned well. Drive hard, but don't sit at the limiter. I fang my car hard, but i take these above factors into account.

Cannot disagree more with that comment. The reliability of an engine has to do with a lot of things, boost is one of them...but i wouldnt even rate it in the top 5!

2 years tops? :)

I had my car running 17 pounds of boost all day every day for over 3 years and the engine was in top notch condition. The car had over 150,000 on it + i had standard afm and injectors making 250rwkw.

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
