What would be the best combo to make power to 8000 rpm? What cams at what lift/duration? What sprockets? What turbo? I'd like to make 270-300 whp. I don't care if it doesn't make power until 4000. I like some lag to stay out of boost while cruising. But a 3500-4000 rpm pull range would be nice. If your wondering what I'll use if for that would be fun. Just something to beat on and raise general hell. Thanks

You won't need cams to make power up to 8,000rpm

You will need a bigger turbo, injectors, engine management, fuel pump, exhaust, intercooler and tune

Turbo wise something like a HKS2535 would be good if your looking for around 300rwhp and its not that laggy either

ive got the KKR480 turbo... runs about 17psi. bit laggy, full boost by about 4.5k but turbo is still new so gotta let it settle a bit.. but apart from that.. car revs happily to 8500rpm with out so much as a tune yet

i got intercooler, exhaust, gtr fuel pump, remapped ecu and electronic boost controller...

Meh to valve springs and all that. Just get a nice turbo rated at around 400hp, something like a TD06, 3071 etc and get it well tuned with adjustable cam gears. I run a TD06 on a std motor and on plenty of occassions have ran it to a 8,800rpm rev limit with 18psi or so jammed into it. Though i tend to try and run either high revs or high boost, not normally both.

I know what supporting mods are necessary just needed some advice on good combos to utilize. Thanks.

I really have no good reason other than "just because" or the sound and to do it often. At least hit 8k in neutral, 2nd, or 3rd every day till/if it pops(I know I'm a ricer). If it does it can be rebuild. I love the power/sound/revs/price of the rb20. Its perfect for me.

Who here can mod the stock mani to use an ext wastegate? How much? Isn't the 20g what some dsms have stock but uses 3 bolt flange or what ever?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.

      First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
