when will i have to do head bolts and head gasket? at what power or psi can a stock rb25 handle safely ?

Not really a real answer to that one. Its all in the tune. Some people break cars with >300 some people have cars for years with <300.

Mine has been in the 280-300 (dyno dependant) mark for a couple of years now, and gets the living balls thrashed off it on the track. And im not totally gentle on the street when im feeling frisky.

My build has slightly changed

This what I'm buying for my car

Gtx3076 .83 with 40mm external gate

Hybrid low mount manifold (keep it looking stockish)

Z32 air flow meter

Walbro 400 just in case I go e85

Bosch 1000cc injectors high Inpednce (unsure if they will fit with standard fuel rail) and do the injectors have to be flow rated for each cylinder ?

Unsure if I need ignition coils and fuel reg ?

The car has done 135xxx ks

Any options please tell

Thanks

You are right to be scared, the factory head bolts are good but they won't hold the head down forever. Personally I would go with the GT3076 unless you plan to change the headgasket and bolts down the track and lean on it some more.

Mine has held 23-24psi for a while now ... GTX will be the wrong choice for your power goals as they seen to act more like a 35r than a 3076... You have so many choices of turbo for your power goals...

So a gtx3076 dose not spool as quick as a gt3076r ? It's response is more like a 35r ? Eg more laggy ? So a better choice will be a gt3076r or a gtx3071 ?

How about Bosch 1000cc injectors

Do they bolt straight in to the standard fuel rail ?

Nope, the GTX3076 was meant to be a quicker spooling turbo etc etc but it has been tried and tested and is not proving to be that way, it makes good power IF you push big boost.

The GTX3071 has had awesome results if you look up Mick_o then you will see what i mean, perfect example of a well built streeter!

You also have too take the time to check out the HG and Kando threads as well as the RB25 dyno results thread too see that Garrett is only one of the option for you.

I love my 3076 and will be staying with that size even with the upgrades.

I dont have a standard fuel rail so i cant answer that BUT i am pretty sure they do with the addition of a spacer, there is a thread on SAU about it somewhere.... I have 2000's now and they were a b**ch to fit!

My GTX3076 is nowhere near as laggy as a 35r, but the I upgraded from GTX3071 was much nicer to drive daily. It just depends what you want from your car and the sacrifices you are willing to make.

The 1000's are longer than the 2000's and should drop in, but nothing is ever easy when it comes to performance mods...

I'm guessing the GTX3076 is good for around 400kw pushed hard on e85, and the GTX3071 around 350kw, or 300 on 98.

Putting the power down is the least of your problems at 300+, there are many parts you will need to replace to reliably handle that sort of power, starting with the clutch.

I can get a brand new gtx3076 or a gtx3071 for under 1300 with out a rear housing.

I've got two garret rear housing to chose from .63 and a .82

My other option is I could just buy a core because I also have a spare front comp cover !

The turbo was a gt3040 or gt3082 but the core shit it self !

what computer are you running? if your still to get one then why not get a Hypergear turbo and adaptronic in a package...

The graph of the last Hypergear turbo looks like they would be awesome all round.

+1 For the ecu and turbo package if not yet got a ecu

my gt3076r is on it way :)
im now looking for external gate ! im also thinking of buying a hybrid performance manifold.

ill be more than happy to make 270 280 rwkw so i was thinking a 38mm waste gate

any advice would be great
thanks

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
