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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
