14psi ?? Interesting....

Using the stock turbo and stock ECU im currently at 272rwhp. I'm still quite confident I can get the stock turbo much higher than that (well 285+ rwhp) with probably another $2500-3000 of various minor mods.

Jet..

~200rwkw is pretty much spot on for a RB25DET with a standard turbo running 14psi, aftermarket ecu, fmic & exhaust.

Some RB25DET's are freaks and make ~200rwkw with the above except without the aftermarket ecu.

i.e Bugalugs that also ran a 13.4 1/4 recently.

If I had a RB25DET turbo i'd be running it at 17psi.

You can't really compare the 14psi limit of ceramic turbo's when using a larger turbo on a smaller motor as at 14psi on the smaller motor the shaft speed of the turbo isn't going to be anywhere near as fast as it is on the larger motor. So up the boost so it is :D

Heat also kills ceramic turbo's.

So if you hammer it on a track day be prepared to loose a turbo.

I have noticed a trend with turbo's that are factory fitted.

For example the RB20DET makes 160kw at the flywheel, when boosted to approx 1bar they make 160-170kw at the rear wheels.

Same with the RB25DET's, they make approx 190kw at the flywheel and when boosted they also make around 190-200kw at the rear wheels.

Stock turbo and Stock ECU?

What mods u have?

Joel, this discussion will probably lead to the accuracy of the dynos. some dyno show better result than others. my car have all the mods you'v mentioned and it made 165rwkw at 14psi on a particular dyno. 165rwkw and 200rwkw is a huge difference, but in fact they might be generating the same power. you get my point?

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
