So what does this prove exactly apart from that it can be done? Given the last 2 pages basically have nothing to do with the question.

End of the day you push the stock bottom end power/RPM wise - it is a matter of time before it fails. Just because yours is fine at the moment is no testament to anything in the reliability stakes yet.

Do that consistently, for 3+ years and 40,000kms, with more than 4-5 motors - then call it reliable all you want.

Did you read my first post in this thread? Or any of the thread for that matter? The fact that you say the last 2 pages have nothing to do with the thread would tell us you didn't.

That is all it proves and I never said otherwise. Nor did I say it was reliable. The thread topic is called "Stock RB25 - How Much Rpm?" I posted a video of a stock rb25 revving. If that has nothing to do with the thread then I don't know what does. Clearly an rb25det can rev to 8200 without breaking.

If it wasn't clear before then I'll make it crystal now. I made this video for the purpose of this thread and for the general enjoyment of sau. We all like watching car stuff on youtube or tv.

FWIW my rev limit is 7600 rpm. It is set there so it doesn't hit the limiter. Most of the time when giving it a hard time I shift at 7k and sometimes it will be closer to 7600. The rest of the time its at 3k or so.

In my opinion reliable means "never breaks". Fair enough stuff wears out but it shouldn't break. Three or five years is not a long time. Nor is 40, 000k's. How pissed would you be if you had to spend upward of ten grand every 3 to 5 years on an engine rebuild and turbo replacement?

You are right with the comment about pushing a motor. They wear out faster. If they break, its either from excessive power levels or poor tune/maintenance or outright thrashing (heat and revs).

So back on topic how many rpm have you spun your stocker to Nismoid?

    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
