Hamish is using Nismo 555cc from memory, maxed at 92% injector duty.

Go bigger, Nismo also have 740cc, won't max it out for what turbo you want to run (you're wanting GT3076R correct?)

Interesting....

I might get some 800cc's... Im thinking about getting the gtx3076 but I wanna run external gate, so I would also need a new manifold which is more costs.

So for the time being im thinking about maxing out the standard turbo, can someone tell me the max ill get out of it?

Maybe 200-220rwkw from stock turbo before the rear wheel doesn't cooperate.

and i wouldnt boost it past 14psi. after that the ceramic wheel tends to get messy as above comment mentioned.

Yep, anything substantial over 200 is pretty much the dyno. I wouldn't be going past 12psi either as already stated.

Even following that rule, it's still hit and miss. People like Paul have been running 12psi on the stocker for years, no worries, I've had mates turn the boost up to 12psi, put it on the dyno to tune it and go bang on the first run.

Mine lasted a while, probably over a year from memory, then it let go at DECA and unfortunately took the engine with it, so it's a pretty big gamble :)

My tuner turned the boost on my stock turbo up to 14.5 psi. I've size turned it down to 12 psi. Wont be going back there again.

    • 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.
