Just after a rough idea on how much boost a standard RB30 with a 25 head can reliably take. Should mention that this car is only ever thrashed.

There are some ppl with big numbers in the dyno thread, but i dont know how long any of them have lasted.

Was hoping for around 1 bar and, yes, tuning is happing at the same time.

thanks in advance

P.S sorry, I did search. You try putting those words in and see how many pages you get :P

Boost doesn't mean anything.

It's power that kills engines.

As long as the engine isn't knocking (i.e. has a safe tune) the power limit (someone said 300rwkw) is what you need to factor in, boost has nothing to do with it.

I dont know if i would consider stock rb30 pistons to be too safe at 300rwkw, plwnty have done it, but they tend to be people who constantly monitor their tunes

hence why i said to keep it nice and conservative. theres always gonna be a chance of it dying from bad batches of fuel/dying fuel regs etc. but the same things can kill motors at standard power levels aswell (just not as quickly). aslong as you dont let knock go unchecked theres no reason it cant be reliable at 300rwkw, especially with the nice big exhaust side of a t04z

the biggest issue will be my driving. its a supersprints/drift hack . everything is checked anytime it goes anywhere.

the tune will be fairly juicy done by the boys at ESP, so im not worried at all there

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • 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!
