This has probably been asked a million times. Is 300rwkw unreliable for a stock internal rb25. I understand that the tune and maintanance obviously plays a big part. Has anyone else had much success with this power level? And also, what do you suggest a good power level for street?

You've already asked this question in your other thread. There is no definitive answer. People run 300kw on unopened motors for years. Yours could go bang after 2 days. As I said before if you are going to sell it just repair and reassemble, strip off the expensive parts and sell the lot.

If you are going to keep it do it properly - measure the bores and see if it needs a rebore or just new rings and bearings and get some decent rod bolts and balance etc. Swap the 3540 for something more suitable.

What is a good power level for the street is entirely subjective - 260kw will be pretty quick but for some 400 is not enough.

Yes it is fine especially on a street car that gets nowhere near the punishment of a track car and if on e85 it is almost bulletproof at 300, you can start looking at 350 and still be safe on e85.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Should have asked what is the car?

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I can't speak for the US, but for Canada as I mentioned above, all fuel gases contain ethanol. We have regulations for E5/E10/E15. Each province handles it differently but basically any fuel gases sold must be E10 and slowly increasing to E15 by a certain year.
