The standard turbo is hard to beat if you want that responsive feel.

I had that standard turbo running at 1bar for a while until I went to the drag strip and to turbine wheel gave up.

I bought a hybrid afterwards and was initially disappointed about the added lag.

The factory turbo made about 1 bar / 14,4 PSI at 3000 rpm and .5 bar at 2500rpm.

On the other had my hybrid lags the OEM turbo by about 600rpm with more upward potential and real fun from there on.

Usable torque is from 3000rpm with no complaints from the engine department.

Did you say what kind of boost you want to run?

I personally would go for one of the smaller HKS ball bearing turbos.

Or just get someone to rebuild the OEM turbo with billet wheels.

I have attached one of my old dynos with the (over)boost curve of the standard turbo.

It might help you decide on your purchases.

Reason I mentioned the 16G is I have driven two RB20 powered R32s back to back, one running an RB25 turbo and the other an EVO 16G and the 16G basically did everything as good as or better than the RB25 turbo. If that was anything to go by I suspect it would be basically like driving a stock turbo on am RB25, if not more impressive overall when you factor in the extra flow and ability to cope with a good dose of midrange boost.

Not necessarily for OP as we've exchanged emails. Information below is for other members whom might be considering to high flow their factory turbochargers.

Factory Spec high flow V Standard Turbocharger. Both tuned on stock injectors. This is only for people whom does not wish add supporting mods.

Our standard 21U highflow is capable of holding 20psi flat and happy to take timing (this is not easy). Below is E85 reading that can be used to compare to factory turbo response above. take 40kws off for P98 result.

John mentioned his intake manifold gaskets blew out on the final run so I believe that was from the leak. I was getting slightly better response on P98 fuel, so boost response doesn't change much.

All excellent feedback, and thanks Stao for the charts, they look great.

So my next question is, what is the maximum kw you can expect stock RB25 injectors to reasonably flow. Obviously wouldn't want to run at 100% duty, hence the word 'reasonable'.

The 219rwkws from standard injector above is where the factory injectors are maxed out. Which is roughly where most tuners would tune them to.

Using factory ECU, I usually see around 170rwkws mark before it goes to limp mod.

My logs showed about 70% duty cycle at around 220RKW.

.

As said it also depends on AF ratio.

I had some ignition cut at 220RKW, but only when flooring it hard,

(fuel / ignition cut might be different to what some people call limp mode)

Does that mean the injectors were the limiting factor in that tune Stao? Could the turbo flow more power?

Obviously I would be using an aftermarket computer.

Yuh, you can pretty much go to max injectors on the stock turbo at some risk of killing the turbo. Doesn't really need to be a highflow to do that much.

Torques - I think you have to be careful comparing @wkW between the numbers we use here and whatever dynos you're familiar with in the UK. It won't take a big difference in calibration factors for errors in thinking as to what is possible and what is impossible start to creep in.

Hi,

Yes, always difficult to compare.

Especially since Stao uses a hub dyno which gives different results to roller dynos.

Also ramp rate etc.

Still my figure of 220RKW is in line what most folks report here.

Just my five cents ..

Cheers ..

My first turbo upgrade was from a stock 33 to a stock 34 turbo with the OP6 housing... With a tune and 10 psi (RB20 actuator) it saw anywhere from 190-207rwkw depending on the dyno. It's as close to stock as you can really get when you "upgrade". A high flow of the stock turbo would a step up from this.

Well not really, a little more top end. Although it has the larger rear housing Nissan revised the compressor wheel using a different composite material to help spool, as far as I know anyway. Noticeable difference from 34 unit to gt3076 but little response difference from stock 33 to stock 34, just a bit more top end and power was also helped by the extra psi.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
