Silly question.

And an equally silly first response.

Depends on the motor condition. Have you had it checked?

Depends on the tune/tuner. Have you had it looked into by a reputable tuner?

Depends on supporting mods. Are all the supporting mods in place?

I thought I read somewhere that only the 34 N1 or something weren't ceramic....or moreso, that at least one of the "N1" turbos wasn't steel compressor AND exhaust.

No N1's are all steel wheeled, you might be thinking about standard turbos.

Depends on all the above,

if you have fuel system to support more than 14psi then i wouldnt be pushing much past 18psi

on a built motor and supporting fuel system you might get away with 20psi high boost.

just make sure that your AFR are correct for the boost level you're running, there is no point running 18psi if you cant give the motor enough fuel for that amount of air

if it wasnt standard i would have noted the modifications.

the motor is in good condition, its only done 68,000klms.

ive checked compression, valve clearances, spring pressure, injector pulse, you name it ive checked it.

i want answers like the first one, i was looking for people telling me how much they were running on their RB26's not people telling me what they think i should be running.

its running 15psi standard without the restrictor. theres is no issues with the air/fuel ratio.

i just want to know how much psi people are running on their own rb26s.

A answer of "XX" psi is a silly and dangerous one mate.

So are you going to get it tuned?

If not, then i wouldn't be running 18psi at all.

i probly will get it tuned but,

im not going to jack up the boost on mine. i dont even have a boost controller. im trying to keep it fairly standard in the hope that maybe 10 or 15 years down the track it might be worth a little bit.

i just want to know what people are running, and what people have run that has caused problems.

    • 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!
