Ive got an RB25 turbo on my RB20 and its running 10psi at the moment.

I have these supporting mods so far..

GFB BOV

Autotecnica "Monza" Intercooler

High Flow Cat

3" Xforce Cat Back exhaust ( Only 1 turbo muffler)

POD

Turbosmart Boost Controller

GTR Radiator

Timing Advanced (not 100% how far... Just b4 pinging)

Later this week will be installing a HKS Split 3" Dump/Front pipe

With these mods would it be safe to turn boost up to 12-15psi?

Its not so much of what you've listed that will be a problem, its your turbo. What I've read was its not 100% safe to run stock turbos above 1bar (14psi) and this type of question is pretty open ended. You can get a crap turbo that'll shits itself with 10psi and sometimes they'll just keep going even at 1bar. But as a rule, nobody would recommend running 1bar.

i think ZENNON on the forums runs 15pound, and from what i can remember he has a similar set up to you,

the only thing he has extra to you is GTR injectors and possibly a tune - well and dump/front pipe already fitted

maybe swing him a pm?

You probly wont even net that much more power with the extra boost. They just start blowing hot air.

Just for a little reference, my mates R32 with RB25 conversion was making XXXrwkw (cant remember), and it was fully tuned VIA link 14psi (all supporting mods)

Mine was boosting 10psi with bolt ons and stock ECU, and mine was only 5kw less.

Both stock R33 Turbos.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
