Hey SAU,

what sort of power can you get untill stock internals need to be modified on rb25det? Only reason i'm asking is my setup upopened would get me around 270-300kw on pump fuel, but i'm going e85/flex fuel now and that will give it more power and yeah just want to know.

cheers

Depends which RB25 and what supporting mods etc... Condition of the engine? How it's been treated? Intended use...

Go find the 300kw+ unopened thread which will answer all your questions and allow this Thread to be locked.

how much hard mileage has it done so far?

Mine? About 9000km... Including a close call with a lean out and also overheat (Haltech ECU protect stepped in luckily).

Well here's my setup

Garrett 3076r .82 rear housing

6boost manifold

50mm turbosmart wastegate

Front facing plenum

90mm tb

Sard 850cc injectors

450lph e85 pump -will have surge tank

Link g4 plug and play

Engine done about 120ks easy life, only reason I asked as I was going to use pump fuel but now going flex fuel/e85 and I will gain kw and will have over 300kw on a max of 17psi and wanted opinions on how long internals will last

I had a similar setup and maxed the turbo out... At that stage my engine had done 140000km and has had a rough life... Ran it on 360kw where it was thrashed...

It now has the HTA turbo running 390ish and has 149000km...

It's all in the tune! There is no magic number that will make your engine safe.

How much of a gain did you did from flex fuel? Okay hopefully when it gets tuned it's done right

About 30kw on low boost... We didn't tune pump 98 fuel on high boost though so no full boost comparison. But it's nice and responsive on ethanol, smells good too ;)

350 is about the safe limit, we have a few in the 400's but i would not recommend it.

on a R33 motor right? don't the ringlands let go? I know R34 RB25DET NEOs are built as well as tanks

Hey man to be honest ill tell you a little trick water meth injection if u can do that u can push it further on stock internals

Lolololol..... So you are trying to tell us you can increase the strength of the engine internals? You sir are brilliant!

No I'm saying you can push the internals a little further with water meth injection like less chance of detonation at higher boost.

You can do that with E85 too, its not new and its not a secret!

    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.

    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 馃槢   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
    • Oh nah, S55 doesn't eat bearings, just the crank hub slips lol.
    • When鈥檚 the tow ball on the 33 coming? 馃檭
    • I welcome any basic question that can help haha. Yes it has 2 unis but the driveshaft is a one piece and the unis are welded without a slip yoke at each end.   What's funny is anytime I've ever had wheel vibrations it's always been in the front so I automatically assume it will lead to steering wheel shake and not chassis vibration. With that being said, I never considered looking at my rear wheel balance... I have doubts though as this wasn't an issue before I pulled the motor and trans but is still very much worth a look. I'll do that tonight after work. Thanks.
