Trent's dyno sure as doesn't read high? compared to RE's roller, i think my car at Trent's was less 2-3rwkw.

From what little i know, i think the main thing in this thread is that 19.5psi on stock internals is a bit of a ticking time bomb, regardless of the tune i thought...

18psi is pushing it, and that's NEO head which flows better, so a non-NEO RB25, 19.5psi i can't see lasting long. Never know though, see how you go :P

ok guys, i'll take it to the track and post the result lol.

For now, when i change gear at 4000 and over there is a cloud of white/blue smoke lol...

Get the turbo checked.

we are talking hub vs chassis... two different methods

The engine will be fine as long as you still have some meaty AFR. 20psi is fk all

There is more to engine wear than just boost pressure. Engine internals have their thresholds based on several variables including torque, heat, engine speed etc.

Agreed, just basing on what I've seen the standard rb30 bottom ends handle (excess of 350rwkw standard). If he is sensible with his rev range and in good condition I'm sure it will last quite a while.

Jesus. Who gives a rats what power it has or hasn't got?

go to the track and lets talk about that. it could have 1, 000 000 hp but who cares!? I just love how someone posts up a result then all the 'experts' around tear them a new one! I think most dyno sheets can be taken with a grain of salt. as long as the tune is healthy who really cares?

I think a simple "good for you" and if you don't believe the results keep it to yourself.

my 2 cents

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
