8:5;1 comp in ideal for boost. There are copper head gaskets that are custom made if you know the thinness to achieve 8:5:1.. 9;1 comp is fine… but you will be limited to how much boost you can run.

Www.coppergaskets.com.au. If your after one 👍

What’s the limit of boost at 9.0:1? Very curious to know.

From my understanding you can achieve about 5 - 10 psi with 9:1 - 9:5:1 comp safely before it goes pop.. before you think this wack boost levels, you have to consider the turbo, dump back exhaust, fmi

Regardless to fuel it’s the boost/comp pressure that will determine if it gos pop or not.

what power do you want, and is it a 5sp or auto?

You can leave the stock comp and put it on e85 and run higher boost?

what comp ratio do you think this thing has to run 100psi of boost?

Lol… I doubt it’s running 100psi.

rb30 with 8:5:1 head gasket + stock mani with spacer adaptor to blolt on rb25 t03 (with ceramic wheel) and possibly stock dump depending where turbo sits + custom mid pipe + r31 house rb20det cat back + hr31 stock intercooler at a maximum 12 psi + nistune should the job with auto (400kw)

steel wheel t03 + r32 gtr or r31 house fmic + forgies with big boost, go for your life with manual if you can find a clutch up to the job 👍

Yeah I doubt these 6 second 200+mph cars are running the boost they say they are. 

I mean look at this guy claiming he is running 90+psi of boost and a 250 shot. 

Why can't they just be honest and say they are really running 12psi of boost.

It's basically Hollywood isn't it? I mean look at this! You can see the car on the dyno, see the data from the log.... 600KPA target. 

More like 82KPA target and a bunch of YouTube Hollywood magic showing fake numbers and fake data, right?

What the hell kind of crack smoking joke is this? That is literally double the power possible with a stock ceramic shitter. When I'm talking about shards here, they can either be what you are on, or the pieces of turbine. Take your pick.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
