8500 that would just be awesome, goodbye ceramic wheels thou lol

At 7900 it still does sound smooth =)

:)

Motor RPM is not really relevant to the life of the ceramic wheel.

What kills the ceramic wheel is a combination of heat & RPM, these are directly related to the tune and boost pressure used.

Not a hell of a lot to do with RPM unfortunately, nice try though.

so will the rb25 head macthed with a bigger turbo able to flow good enough to still make power around 7400-7900??? i have heard good things about the rb20 making its way up to 8 or so but the 25???

The RB25 is not a RB20 - They are not the same motor so what one will happily do, has little to no bearing on what another will do.

For long term life of your motor, you apply sane RPM to the motor with stock rod bolts.

Sane RPM being 7000rpm.

IF you do not care how long your motor lasts, then spin it to 8500rpm for a while and enjoy the rebuild process.

Just pray that the rod(s) doesn't go outside the block... it does get a bit messy when that happens.

My GT-RS R33 is still limited to factory limiter. 6900-7000, around there. Power is still climbing at these revs, but its not worth the stress a few hundred RPM place on the engine.

I would love to raise it abit and squeeze a tiny bit more MPH in each gear, but I think the life of the standard rods are more important.

I have my rev-limiter set at 7300rpm and pull 3 degrees of timing after 6800rpm so the car is sluggish, this way I never hit the rev limiter, except in 1st gear. What breaks things is actually rev bashing, which I still do LOL

Most aftermarket ECU's have a soft cut limiter and than a hard cut limiter to soften the blow a bit.

I have mine set to 7000 for soft and then 7300 for hard cut i think. I normally shift at 7000 or just before.

Used to have it set to 8000 after the head got built to give it a go, but didn't see the point due to the turbo not making more power that high up in my application.

My rev limiter is set to 7100 rpm with the power fc, and it feels like the engine is screaming for more revs with a gt 3582, etm manifold, plazmaman plenum etc. Even the tuner asked if he could set the limiter higher because the turbo still kicks in hard. I'm just afraid that the standard internals wont last, and when will the hydraulic lifters stop working so the rev limit is really an issue for me too. How would the engine last with rev limit set to 7500? Or should you change a better balancer first?

Your GTRS makes power past 7000rpm? Mine doesn't :(

You got a dyno graph?

EDIT: Don't worry just found your dyno graph :)

Yeh i just checked, i guess its fairly slowing down by 7000 isnt it haha.

Hadnt looked at it for a while

relative stress on a motor is roughly equal to power*rpm^2. so if you double the power you double the stress, but double the rpm and you quadruple the stress. hence why revving to 8k for the sake of it is stupid. 8000 puts 1.3 times more stress on the motor than 7000 at the same power level, thats the same as going from 300rwkw to 390rwkw at the same rpm. still sound good on stock internals?

Every comment in this post has something wrong with it... I would trust a monkey with a bomb before this guy.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
