Rb26 Psi

[ben3322]

how much boost do people think is the max for an RB26DETT???

mines got N1 turbos.

Have a mate runs them on 18psi every day. They are good.

cheers mate.

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?

Depends how much he really cares if his compressor wheels find their way through the intercooler lol

N1 turbos are not ceramic

[Trozzle]

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.

[Trozzle]

lol of course standards are ceramic fair enough though, I've either misinterpreted something, or been giving the wrong info myself

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.

im not a spastic, i wouldnt boost it without knowing the limits of the turbos them self.

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.
