hey guys, thought id run it pass the general consensus - will i blow my turbs?

i have rb25det neo

mods i have:

big frontmount

big plenum

bigger fuel pump (forget what hp)

microtech ecu

3" exhaust (no cat or rez)

air filter

bleed tee

stock: internals - turbo - injectors - coilpack

had a dyno run @ APC brisbane - and made 243rwkw on vpower... but no idea what psi im running atm...

at stock 7-8psi was 200rwkw

when i picked up the car - the dude at the front desk did not know cuz the guy who tuned it wasnt there at the time.

he did however tell me that my boost was taken to the highest limit and reduced somewhat to keep it "safe"...

(i dont have a boost gauge and i will call them tomorrow..) But i was wondering if anyone else has a setup similar to mine; what boost level you guys think id be running... but most importantly; you guys think its safe at this power level for my turbo...

cheers for your input yall!

10-12psi = safe. Any more is reaching failure point.

243rwkw is a flat fudge too dude, should be around 200rwkw at the most really.

Not sure why you would put all that "big" stuff on there and run the stock turbo though, just adding in bad response to the setup for no reason at this point

242rwkw for a standard rb25 turbo is impossible. 242rwkw for a highflowed standard rb25 turbo is possible.

Standard injectors would max out before 242rwkw, so thats an immediate giveaway that the provided kw output is incorrect and that its just a standard turbo. Its 200rwkw on average for a standard turbo.

as stated 12psi max for standard rb25 turbo's. The ceramic exhaust wheel is prone to let go at anything higher.

yea, im pretty sure its not high flowed - plus i just gave it a proper strap and its not feeling near the pull my friend gets in his 254rwkw r32... so.. i guess ive been had.. damn you APC!! :D

thanks for the input guys! i guess ill question them about it tomorrow when i ask about the boost level...

I think the first thing you should do is get a boost gauge to see how much boost you are running...regardless of whatever amount of boost they say the car is running...

That said right...the way a car feels can be deceiving...the comment you made about your car feeling slower than your mates R32 is kinda similar to how i felt when i went from driving my 210rwkw R32 to a mates 240rwkw R34...the way the power is delivered all makes the difference...but i can confirm that his car was definitely making alot more power...its just that it came on so smoothly that it made it feel not as quick...

yea, cheers limpus - boost gauge is my next thing-to-get... and youre probably right about the ride.. maybe i need to drive it a bit more - to appreciate the tune..

ill post a scan of the dyno print out tomorrow..

tho i gotta say ive got a growing suspicion that they have taken me for the biggest ride ever..

to fix a leak from a grub screw on the oil sandwich plate..

pre-dyno inspection - spark plug clean - replaced fuel hose from pressure regulator and replaced efi hose clamps. Installed bleed tee, adjusted air fuel ratio. adjusted boost setting and timing maps. they charged about $950..

Ive only ever once had a tune in the past - it cost me $250-300.. not that i mind spending the money but its the principle - why would they fudge the results of the tune... i mean, what else did they lie about - or i could be getting ahead of myself i guess..

its not what you pay... its what you get.... if the car is running $950 better thanits all good.... (although you dont seem to think so :D )

they lie so that you come on here and tell us how much power they got from your turbo and then we all go there for our tunes because they are soooo good!... not really a well thought out plan as they'll more like lose custom

well.. they did also fix a spring in the BOV. the labour was $720 all up excluding the parts.. i just hope they did tune it and didnt just turn up the boost or something.. im just not a fan of being lied to - if they didnt hype up the dyno results i would have been cool with it..

lesson learned for next time i guess.. :D

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
