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?

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
