Ok, so I have my series 1 stag sitting in the driveway and the mind wonders, how do I get more power, cheap and fast, then I settle for a minute and remember the car has to last more than a week. So I guess my question would be how much boost can I put throught the rb25det in it's stock form RELIABLY. Then my next question is, what do I have to do to the externals ie. turbo, fuel pump, blow off etc to get the most boost into my un modified block and head. Any thoughts for a person who's planning ahead? (For once).

i suggest you do some more reading in this forum mate , before getting flamed.

buuuuut , theres so many variables you cant really ask those questions. theres a general rule of thumb that stock internal rb25 don't like going too far past 300rwk and being reliable :ermm: if thats what you wanted to know?

mmm.. i have heard that rule as well.. seems to be a decent guide to go by...

stagstock, judging by ur name you have a stock stag and if 100psi/10 = 10 psi then my year 4 maths has paid off... what else have you got on the car or is it completly stock? I have to ask because for most people stock means bov, exhaust, pod...

if it is really stock then a full exhaust (turbo to tip) will definetly get you more power and allow for alot more in the future...

Ok, well I mean completely stock...... original exhaust, filter plumbed bov all original... not a thing on the car wasn't there when it came out of the factory... except maybe the dust and age

But the first post was more of what I was asking as most people start talking bout pistons n all sort when modding so It rules most of their mods out for me. so I could aim for 300rwkw realisticly in the long run.

Your first port of call should be the RB25 dyno thread, have a browse and see what power people are making with what modifications.

In your post some key words are "most boost" "stock" "RB25", type those in the search engine and see what comes up.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
