Yeah I mean good on him for being cautious if he isn't familiar, but you can tell him that hundreds of people have done it safely, just avoid detonation, keep it cool and it will be fine. A good intercooler is extremely important for higher running boost safely.

before boosting the f**k out of it, i'd compression test a motor to get a idea on its health, but thats just me , plenty have boosted the f**k out of them, just as many have blown the bottom ends out of them.....

bad tuning good tuning whatever, darren is right a sloppy motor will let go once you lean on it

boost is just the indicator for how hard you are leaning on it in this case

and Ron, i believe the difference between a 255kw and 279kw SS1PU would be fairly small.. minor difference at the end of the strip and mostly the same for the first 150kph.

i also think a SS1PU at 255kw will blitz a G3 at 270. Kapish?

please take some interest in and do some reading on the HKS GTRS... see what people think of the staple 250kw turbo. my understanding is that it comes on that early and snappy that acceleration will eat the 300kw setups pre 200kph

almost always due to bad tuning

I think people are forgetting how many kms are on these motors now...I will give you a example..I have been a member on supraforums for 13yrs, I look every week , stock bottom end started of taking 600 rwhp with 66mm setups, then they went 72mm, 74mm 76m Q trims and the numbers went up, then 42's with 74, 76 S trims etc, 900rwhp no blowups. But in th last couple of yrs the the average for a stock bottom end has been drastically lowered as they are starting to put on reasonable mileage, and aren't as strong anymore..or it could be people have just started bad tuning now.....

Its only the one owner never driven ones, REALLY low mileage that people are getting hold of , compety stock standard and then going large in the setup and making ridiclious numbers still.

Fark loads have taking a dump And the average Rb25 had 15 times the mileage these things have on them..plus a lot of people ideas of maintenance are different, theres so many shitbox skylines around that aren;t looked after its not funny, i woudn't recommend giving one of them 20+psi.. without a comp test.

Unless your idea of a good saturday is removing a smelly old ringland busted Rb25.

Above turbo were made for a VW 4S dealer in China. Got some feedbacks from them today. This turbo was fitted to a 01 Model 1.8LT Auto Bora. They were measuring 0~100 acceleration using D-box.

The 0~100KM acceleration time from a factory was 10.5 sec

ATR28G1 high flowed turbo and every thing else factory, the 0~100KM acceleration time was 9.4 sec with plenty of wheel spin.

Its pretty interesting that we are compares RPM vs Power vs Boost, probably due to lack of skilled modifier and tuners, all they are interested is in 0~100km acceleration time. How ever that was a pretty good start. :turned:

Well it sounds like they didnt get the ecu tuned to suit and if I didnt have to get the ecu tuned I wouldnt get a dyno done either. It is interesting though as for a street car 0-100 should be very important. I know some people were discussing times a while back.

Wheelspin for a 9.4 second 0-100??? Its a good improvement from 10.5 especially with so little changes but its hardly fast lol

By all means compression test the engine before modifying any car.

I am curious what difference you think running 18psi vs 21psi will make. If the car is kept away from det how is the ringland going to fail?

12psi with det will fubar it as easily as 18psi.

After a comp test, what is a good level of compression to be running high boost on these motors? My motor tested at 155 - 160 on all cylinders, I run 17psi through it and 20 as high boost.

The head gasket comment by the tuner is rubbish, the standard nissan head gasket has been proven to huge power with aftermarket engine builds. Lots of tuners prefer them over aftermarktet metal ones.

I understand if your tuner is worried about the standard engine overall. Does he have much experience with skylines? A lot of tuners that dont are hesitant to boost it too high as they are not aware of how strong they are.

Give it hell as it is for a few months and then take it back and demand the boost be raised :)

His big thing was that he hasn't had any positive experiences come from running more boost than that on an RB ( fear of doing a ring or another adverse problem i don't know about), The plan is to drive it around like it is now (340hp atw) and then when i do my 100k service in 9000k's time I'll retune for 20 psi.

Silly move. I done my 100k service 10kkm before it. Pay for tune, major service, then pay for tune again...

155 means it is in great condition

What about 180?? I comp tested my motor a few months ago and got between 180-182 across all six. It's higher than any other result I've seen on here... Was worried about possibly carbon build up increasing the compression?

Varies depending on a lot of factors, as long as its consistent it doesn't really matter, I would only worry if it read really low like 100, even then I had an rb20 that consistently read 110 across all six, burnt a tiny bit of oil but wasn't down on power at all.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
