Troy, I think the plan is to have a couple different stages of modification. The will be bolt-on internal gated turbos to fit stock manifold as the base stage, all the way up to custom manifold, extrenal gated turbo with full management.

Hi guys, in case you missed it in other threads, they are unning 50 psi fuel pressure at idle with a rising rate fuel pressure regulator. So to achieve this sort of result, the injectors are exceeding their rated output by around 40%.

My previous experiences with "overdriving" injectors more than 10% has not been very good. The solenoids and springs simply don't like it. Take the risk if you wish.

Secondly the car is not driven everyday at 431.6 rhhp. I believe GTS-t Vspec quoted 360 rwhp which is under the widely accepted 450 bhp maximum for daily use on a standard internals RB25.

Hope that clarifies

I have been driving it with the 431rwhp over the past couple days, and I must say it's a heap of fun, but in order to save my stock internals I feel that the 360rwhp is a much safer level for the engine until I get forged pistons etc.

If I do have any trouble with running the stock injectors at high pressure then I'll let you all know, but so far they've performed admirably:D

nice numbers paul

I got a 0.70 a/r front with t66 comp wheel and 0.82 a/r rear rated at 600hp turbo going on my car at the end of this week, i got the same manifold as you but 550cc injectors and a power fc with 044 bosch pump. Should i expect the same numbers as u? As i was told it would need atleast 20psi to get 300rwkw..

Interesting. I've run out on injectors on my car now @ 203rwkw (what is that in HP?)

Admittadly im not running a rising rate reg, but i surely wont be getting another 100rwkw out of just raising the pressure.

Also im running a Factory ECU with a chip that really hasnt had it's map changed at all.

Just speed limiter removed at this stage.

Now, i dont think my car is making anywhere near 400rwhp (im not sure of the conversion)

And my car to date has come home with 12.98 @ 108mph.

Paul... did you run the mid 13 @ 411rwhp?

If so... that's awefully low MPH for that kind of power... (if 400rwhp is more than 200rwkw)

As if you get wheelspin or not, your MPH is usually more or less the same. Just your ET that changes.

    • Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 😅
    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 🫠    
    • I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha
    • I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...
    • But they do so for the other reasons to have a compressor bypass. It's in the name.
