If the motor is happy revving there then I dont see why not. The torque and power character of the setup would influence the load on the motor, there is no denying that. It just might be as happy spinning to 8 as a different setup would be spinning to 7.

The forces created by an identical stroke/bore motor revving to those speeds is identical if all the same parts are used, the torque is obviously different though.

I guess what I was getting at is 8.5k is getting very close to the limit where stock rod bolts etc let go if held there for extended periods of time.

my r33 will be going back into trent(status) soon, hopefully before christmas. my t67-25g setup has been proving very good, no issues yet except for my gearbox. trent, if you read this :P the gearbox shit the tin 2 weeks after the dyno runs so im going to guess it was slipping when tuned, and also the converter is a bit spongy and needs a rebuild(checked by knox automatics). ive been told the solenoids are fkd, the clutch drum for 3rd/over drive is worn out, and the band needs replacing haha. Anyway, i have just bought myself a fully manualised ford c4 street strip box brand new from rocket to go into the car, along with a 3000 stall converter, and a b & m megashifter. i have changed i/c the pipework again since the last tune(only made 255rwkw) and planning on going 4" inlet and moving the afm into the intercooler pipe. ive also heat wrapped the exhaust, sorted out the manifold flex issue and bought a turbo blanket. hopefully this time round, upping the boost to around 20-22psi i can make the 300rwkw i was hoping for.

looking forward to your results.

what other mods do you have?

inj/manifold/gate/ etc.

Goodluck with the C4 man!

My brother uses one in his Sigma but its a bit rough for my liking.. Not a brand new rebuilt job just a used one with a stally and shift kit.

Personally I would have gone for a 4L60 (turbo700) but thats just because im scared of hard shifts lol.

How much did the prebuilt C4 set you back and rekon it would be any good for circuit work or drag only? Shift quality I mean.

if you look back around pages 25-30 of this thread u can see my original build. but yeah, all suporting mods, 700cc inj, walbro 255lph pump, stock intake(this is for testing atm, no-one else has done a setup with the stock plenum and this turbo as far as i know), XSpower highmount - wouldnt suggest these, on a hot run, the manifold buckled and needed extra bracing, umm power fc,3" mandrel stainless exhuast all custom made, z32 afm, blitz suspower pod, 44mm gate, turbosmart plumback bov etc etc. i might change the injectors before a re-tune aswell, they are only flowed stock injectors and i dont know how good they are.

cant say how much i paid for the gearbox ;), but you wouldnt get change from 5k, but it depends on what version you buy, there is 3 of them.

i will put it back on the dyno with the manifold its got for now, the gearbox has kinda chewed up the funds i had ready for buying engine some nice spool internal engine parts, and replacing things i had problems with haha. but i will be changing to a 6boost in future, they are proven items and worth the extra cash. the external gate im not sure what brand, i bought it from the USA for about $150 aus + post, and surpriginly, ive had no boost creep and it holds shut until right on 17 psi, so its doing its job none the less, although im taking the 17 pound spring out, and putting in a 12 psi and going to run a dual stage controller so i can turn it down on the street.

Running that little boost will test out the wastegate's capabilities

certainly will, wether or not i run as low as 12psi im not sure of, being 44, it should be capable of running as little as 15psi, i just dont want to be running a min of 17 all the time and up to a max of say 22, id rather wind it back to a tidy 220rwkw for day to day driving if i can.

Is that on a stock JZ zeb??

my gate came with 7 different springs rated up to 25psi..

thinking I'll just get target my boost with springs and not worry about any controller..is this a good idea??

what are the disadvantages (if any) of not running a boost controller, apart from not being adjustable on the fly...

bah,, pansy...my BW setup will have a 2 bar spring in the gate lol

whats the point of having 2 bar on the street? roads are not made for racing, nor good handling, ill keep my 300+rwkw for the strip.

    • Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!
    • And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.
    • I have an R32 Fenix rad. It is good.
    • All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents
