An R34 RB25 det neo can take 300 KWATW before the internals need to be done an R33 can take around 250-270 before the internals need changing. it all depends on the turbo ur getting some turbos can produce 220 at the rears on only 9 PSI like mine which is An r34 turbo which has been changed from busshel to ball-bering and hi-flow.

im running a standard engine except for a race head gasket and around 1 bar on the lower map which gives me 400bhp and 1.2bar on top map which gives me 549bhp. It gets thrashed every time i use it and its absolutely cracking.

I've seen a few R34's with over 350rwk running stock internal, don't ask me how but..

But yeah do a search dude.

mate, boost has nothing to do with it (well, it does, but not like you think).

For example, you can run 14psi boost from your stock turbo pretty safely, however, if you fit a T88 turbo on your engine and run 14PSI, your engine will most likely die.

For this reason, people usually base how safe internals are based on power.

I've found that the internals of a RB25 engine are generally safe between 250-280 rwkw, providing you have a nice tune without any detonation over 50.

couldnt have said it any better turbz lol some ppl on here offer horrible advice!

all comes down to the power your making on what boost levels, and how healthy your motor is to start with and how good your tune is.

mite last 1 day or 3yrs all depends on alot of things.

You're right, boost isn't everything (I wouldn't say nothing by any stretch of the imagination) but I would be far more confident of running a T88 on the side of my stock engine at 1bar than a stock turbo. The T88 will have far lower turbine pressure and heat from an overworked compressor than a stock turbo and will not magically make stupid power just because a T88 is a big turbo, the big power numbers on low boost seen on some engines running T88s are partly as a result of the big cams and revs that the engine has been built to use to rev high enough to justify the bigger compressor.

i wouldnt say 14psi is safe for a stock turbo though. That wont effect the internals but the turbo def wont last

Yeah it can have an effect on the engine in the relative scheme of things, the turbine housing and wheel are TINY and at that boost level the pressure and heat in there will go through the roof. That ends up with a much higher chance of reversion, and reversion raises the cylinder temperatures something crazy - high cylinder temps are what increase detonation and ultimately can speed up the wear and tear of the engine.

I partly upgraded my turbo as I wanted to go a bit quicker but was already at 10-11psi on the stocker, as far as I am concerned running >250kw @ wheels on a big turbo on 1bar is FAR nicer on the engine than running just over 200rwkw on the stock turbo on the same boost level despite the higher power level. You would be surprised at how little extra force is put on the bottom end by running a decent matched turbo on 1bar with a good tune versus the stock turbo on similar boost, if not a bit less.

Making more power on the 1bar with a decent turbo using the standard rev limit and good tune is the definition of having your cake and eating it too with an RB25DET, if you are looking for a bit more power out of your stock internals.

Just my opinion, anyway.

Ye thats true. 300kwatw is the safe mark this is what i was told by several tuners here in VIC how ever one of the tuners had tuned an r34 gtt to just over 340 @ the rears on stock internals.

Please use the search.

There was a topic on this late last week, and another about a week earlier.

Keeping info/posts to one/two threads makes the longer term better when people search and find detailed threads with lots of history/info.

You can always make a number, however how long it lasts is another question

Thanks.

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
