Ive Decided To Stop With The Mods

[R33GOD]

i want my car to last a long time and i dont want to over push an engine with 100,000ks. these will be my mods. how much power do u guys think i will make.

-pfc

-fmic

-full 3" exhaust (turbo back)

-slide hiflow (going to run 1 bar boost)

-tomei f/pump (in tank)

- stock injectors and fuel reg

-pod filter

-heavy duty single plate clutch

-ebc

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.

id be happy with a genuine 210+ rwk

You will make that easily i made 210rwkw with similiar set up on only 10psi with a similiar set up..

[MANWHORE]

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).

[MANWHORE]

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.

[BAMR33]

Don't give up the fight. hi-flow injectors $400, second-hand z32 $200 you'll be set for 250rwkW and will be getting the most from the turbo.

-pfc

-fmic

-ebc

I'm guessing fmic is a front mounted inter-cooler right? What are the other two????

[paulr33]

pfc - apexi powerfc

ebc - electronic boost controller

fmic - front mount intercooler

gate - wastegate

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.......

12-14psi will give you around 230rwkw with the highflow turbo maxing out standard injectors and AFM.

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!

[r33_racer]

im with Roy on that one.

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.

the tune of the engine will decide the engines fate

tuning kills an engine

heat kills an engine

leaning out kills an engine

lack of fuel kills an engine

[R33GOD]

im going to do my timing belt first before i tune it and up the boost
