I haven't seen any pop.

In my opinion, what would most likely kill the engine is:

- Not tuned properly resulting in detonation. eg. timing not adjusted correctly, not meeting the fuel requirements, too small injectors and/or fuel pump.

- Inadequate fluid cooling, in particular on the neo's. Dori and I have both discovered how hot the oil temps run on an RB25DE+t Neo. 90 degrees after a 15minute drive to work isn't uncommon, 100degrees after driving on the motorway also not uncommon and it's not quite summer yet. A 13 row oil cooler will help in this area. I should have my kit fitted this week or next and will report back on the results.

- Too high intake temps. A good FMIC will definitely help to reduce intake temps as with 10:1 compression you want to keep things cool.

- Too much boost. Mind you I've seen the likes of WYTSKY running 15PSI through an R33 GTS4 RB25DE, but don't expect a set up like that to be long-term reliable (in my opinion anyways), it's fine if you're looking to rebuild later on. I still think that unless the engine is already in poor shape, you'll probably reach the limits of a stock factory turbo before anything else.

- The driver/owner. Like any car, if you red line it day-in-day-out, don't maintain it, don't give it time before turning off the engine, etc.. you can't expect any car to last long.

Don't skimp on a good tune, have adequate cooling where it's needed most, drive it sensibly (driving it on 7PSI on a daily and having a high boost option for 10-12 isn't going to hurt THAT much now.. ok it does hurt but you get by ok with 7PSI for just commuting to and from work), maintain and service regularly and it should be fine.

Keep in mind that there are drifter's running RB25DE+t's as well. In my opinion, if it can handle the abuse on the track, albeit combined with good cooling solutions to match, then with the above taken into consideration there shouldn't be much of an issue.

If I didn't see it that way, I wouldn't have done the conversion.

sup, top bloke.

i've got RB20de+T

been running for ummmmmmmmmmm

74+118 = ...dont know... not ven a relevant equation try again

118-74 - 44thousand klms

hasn't skipped a beat

there's no reason the engine would pop. it's a nissan, honda i can understand because they're not designed to have turbos added

nissan blocks already have the plumbing there ready to go to my knowledge, the only difference is that the compression of the head is higher. so the response is greater.

take that into consideration however. RESPONSE IS FAR GREATER.

so

response is greater.

do you NEED a massive front mount? no.

do you NEED 880cc injectors? no.

do you NEED a T88 with extenally gated boost gate manifold stainless gold HKS greddy frontpipe manifold turbo turbo kit? no.

in short - if you don't want your motor to go bang

then build the turbo with stock parts - once you've done that, and it works, THEN you can modify it... but my advice is don't go to nengun and ask for a extenally gated boost gate manifold stainless gold HKS greddy frontpipe manifold turbo turbo kit when you're not sure how the engine will handle having a extenally gated boost gate manifold stainless gold HKS greddy frontpipe manifold turbo turbo kit

ps

i was kidding about calling you a top bloke i just thoguht i'd throw it in there for shock value

but yeah

my advice is

do it right the first time, then build up modification parts... oh and DONT LOSE ANYTHING. TAKE NOTES OF EVERYTHING YOU DO. KEEP YOUR NUTS N BOLTS IN THE ONE PLACE. LABEL THEM IF YOU HAVE TO.

2 years and going strong! BIGGGG upgrade commencing in only a few days/week...

I'll show u Nathan, that all our blocks can take that PSI :/ that being said... I don't think ive touched red-line for atleast a month or more... maybe the secret i don't know....honestly i don't need to go over 5,000 on the street...

Can't wait for the new gear to be put in...:)

I'm waiting in anticipation to see what you've got coming! I still think your nuts :/ Any hints on what you've got in store?

You're right about that... since doing my conversion I don't feel the need to rev it out as much anymore for street driving.

I don't doubt that the DE blocks can take the pressure.. it's more a case of how reliable and for how long it can, but yours is living proof that they can take some pretty big boost without giving up the ghost.

good oil, service regularly & god damn good tune is the key.

adam, i am keen also to see whats coming next for ya you crazy bastard.

u still using the 3071?

its a little bigger then that :(

Im waiting on a single part that is being custom made by a machinist to suit

  • 2 weeks later...

yeah ive been eyeing their motors DaGr81 and its pretty good for that price too!

i pumped thru 14.5 psi as i was testing my EBC yesterday and boy it was quick!

no traction on 18x10" work rims on 2nd and 3rd which shocked me so i backed off immediately lol

hehehehe... and this is how mine ended up staying at 15-17psi :)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
