Hi there,

Considering there is no knock, or lean-out and so forth, how much boost is 'safe' on the RB25 without risking the head gasket or

other destruction?

I hear people running 20PSI with standard internals .. just wondering ..

WHOLE WORLD

IMPLODE

EVERYONE DIE

But srsly, there is no specific number.. my Neo happily take 15psi through the highflow without breaking a sweat, on the limits of the injectors though. With bigger injectors I wouldn't hesitate to push 20psi into it.

No magic number, though to put an end to this I think someone should connect a high volume air compressor to the intake right before the throttle body and crank it up until SOMETHING pops - probably intake plenum gasket or valve seals...or something, I don't know.

Have seen 56psi on a standard gasket for well over 100 dyno passes and still going.

Depends on your tuner. Depends on head studs/bolts. Depends on what position venus is in the solar system.

It all comes down to how good your tuner is. The tuner we use is the best.....and yes, I will put money on it

Knock is the limiting factor, if you can use high octane, WMI, or E85 etc then you can screw it on. But you will probably hit the knock wall eventually anyway.

And I've got no idea why two identical standard motors with the same power output and one knocks and the other doesn't - I know why there is knock, but why the inconsistency - luck of the build.

I was hinting at BIG numbers :P more along the lines of 100psi

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
