obviously the turbo is the same as a garret then since MTQ use a T28 rebuild kit for them.

They are not the same...its has already been documented...first of all...its years older than the standard t28s we get on the sr20s...secondly...just because a t28 rebuild kit can be used does not mean its a t28...

as has been stated runnign more boost through the rb25 turbo is fine because its not working as hard on the rb20. the clutch is an exedy heavy duty.

also does anyone actually have facts or proof of 15psi beign a problem? the only proof i have so far is that my mates has been runnign 15psi all day everyday for the last 60,000km putting out 180kw at the rears with less mods. No noises coming from the turbo at all and it was checked for play a month or so ago when the engine bay was stripped and wire tucked.

on another note whats a good size/ brand of injectors?

It has been well documented too that 15psi on a rb25 turbo is a bad idea...even on a rb20...it will still be shortening the life of the turbo...if it runs 15psi but only reaches max boost during the occasional squirt then it might be ok...but hold it on full boost for a few laps on a track and see what happens...

the car wont be doing track work as yet i gotta get a new rear end strengthened and suspension fine tuned before i waste my time at a track this turbo will only be on till around december/january if all goes to plan with a aftermarket ecu.

who can recommend a good aftermarket exhaust manifold and is top or low mount a better option?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
