well i already have 280kws on 14psi, its not a daly driver, but i wnat to install cams abd be tuned from mid range power and touque. wont gain any more power as such but touque i will. not sure if its safe or not. i have bigger radators and a oil cooler for safety.

im getting examples on other sites on cars making up to 310kws on stamdard bottom end and still going.

this site would be the best for the info so, come on guys.......

Dyno is a key thing to note when looking at power across various sites around the world.

US is a bit higher (depending on the brand used)

HUB dyno's are much much more generous and people quote as "rwkw" but its not really that at all when you see '300rwkw' only slip 110mph.

Thats in comparison to the Dyno D's that are here.

So any of them could be right i guess, its just that from what ive seen the DD 'generally' are lower than the US brand they use, and when people talk hubs i just look at rpm/boost as the reading means nothing to me

hmmm you could always do WMI? at the end of the day it will also come down to how you drive it how it is tuned, but still the shelf life of stock bottom end is shortened as explained by nismoid. its a gamble at most, and would never as such hurt to do a compression or leakdown along the way to check on things. There was a few examples of people pushing to see how much it will take to break, and there are a few examples of people with stock ends as well at that power.

But i guess safety sake, always atleast have that budget for the "Just in case" if you are willing to take the chance. You might be lucky you might not.

The most powerful stock bottom end RB25 I have been in/come across is this one - has cams and thicker head gasket, stock from HG down. Made 450rwkw (~600whp) on a pretty high reading dyno though I reckon it'd run over 500whp on most sane reading dynos. Here's a video of it running a 10.6 with full interior, pump gas and a set of drag radials:

Trap speed etc seems not the best, but they were being a bit gentle with the gearbox etc - remember, all stock bits.

    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
    • I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:   
    • Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
