the reason you cant just bump up the boost without changing the fuel map is because you would be adding in "16psi" worth of air but only adding in the fuel for the "10psi" it was tuned for. This leaves you with a lean AFR and a potentially dead engine.

Even with low boost.

Seems very little power to be extracting out of engine that otherwise has well set out mods

You sure Hame thre isnt any other mechanical problems with the car?

Hey chris, i'm pretty sure there is no mechanical issues with the car, a small coolant leak from one of the stock 'looped' turbo water lines is all i know of!

yeah i understand that just thought there may have been some lee-way if i added in a couple of psi!

ring your tuner and ask why he stopped feeding it at 10psi...

seeing you had a boost controller i'd assume he'd definately be shooting for more.

i was under the impression that the 430 will give around 230 rwkw on an rb25...

imho get on the blower to your tuner :P

do you have forged internals?

if you wind it up to 16-18psi you will see a massive increase in power, and yeh a tune would be required to maximise potential and keep it safe. profec b goes for like $380, plus maybe $100 to install. try slidingperformance.com, or look for SLIDE on here. they were quite cheap and deliver fast. or just jap in syd.

thanks for that yeah i'll look into it. The reason tuner did not wind any more boost into the tune was because the actualtor stops it at 10psi. There are two types of actualtor that you have option with the kkr480 turbo street type and race type. mine being the street type only hold 10psi.

and no, no forged internals..

oh well dont go berserk, the standard internals are good for maybe 250rwkw to be safe. 16psi is porobably a good bet.

im pretty sure with an ebc, the actuator doesnt matter so much. you can set whatever boost you like.

That turbo should make 300hp, but remember its not just the power hp/kw you make thats important, but when you reach it! Ofcourse a bigger turbo will make more power, but with more lag and traction issues on boost in rwd application, the next stage for 300rwkw for instance with an rb25det would be best suited with a Garrett gt3076r.

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
