Hey guys my car had a HKS pod connected onto a hard pipe from the turbo not the stock rubber one, the stock BOV was blocked off and was running 10 psi. The car also has stainless split dump pipe, 3inch front pipe, hiflow cat, 3.5 inch cat back system and a front mount. As far as I know the car is running a stock ecu, stock coil packs and stock turbo. Today after being defected again I have put the stock rubber intake pipe back on, connected the stock BOV, put the factory airbox back on without the snorkel and put a BMC panel filter in the air box and left it running 10 psi. The question i have is, is it safe still running the same boost? or can i run more? the car is a daily so I don't want to run stupid risks of killing the motor to be honest the car feels faster runs smother and I cannot hear the turbo spool or the stock BOV, I love it the car sounds like an NA R33.

yeah man, keep it quiet and clean, on 10psi.

wooshes, and bovs and flutters only draw the wrong type of attention...and laughs from me when yo drive past :)

coilpacks are good, and do your O2 sensor if you havent already

    • How have you run it in / what has been done in those 6 hours? Also, you need to do the test hot. You have to load the new motor pretty hard to bed the rings in quickly and properly, doing it on the dyno is best and only takes an hour-ish The other question is.....what were the measured clearances post machining and do they match the specs for the piston and rings
    • Sounds like a good outcome, must be nice to have it working well, and yes everyone seems to top out under 250rwkw with a low mount rb25 so you are in the right ballpark. It really would have been worth setting up the boost controller at the same time, but at least now you can share some back to back data on how much difference holding the gate closed until you need it makes
    • I've done this both ways, I'd use the original loom & swap plugs on the engine side as you'll usually end up changing a lot of those anyway. Series 1 is usually non ABS which requires wiring which I can't remember how to do as haven't done it for over 15 years. The auto inhibitor is easy to bypass or in the meantime you can put it in neutral & unbolt it & tape it somewhere in the bay haha, then just wire reverse lights. I'd go straight to aftermarket ecu. A few basics are built in ignitor coils & reverse the CAS wiring, sort the plugs for whatever injectors & IAC-you can use an adaptor for the neo type otherwise the s1 will still work, use the knock sensors that suit the loom & it'll be pretty much running.  
    • This is for an RB20DET. Sorry for not including that. 
    • Welp, this is where my compression lands after my rebuild. Thoughts? I have ~6 hours on the motor.
