I'm only considering it because I've got an exhaust cam wheel, and will be running 15 psi after the tune. I used to run 15psi with the factory ECU, but the PowerFC at the same boost maxes out my injectors and AFM. So I'm running at 11psi until I get it tuned.

Anyway I'll see what the mechanic has to say when I take the car in. At least now I know I have some room to experiment.

I don't see much of an advantage of increasing the red-line to 7500rpm, if your only running 15psi max. by the time your turbo hits 6700 its all ready running out of steam, unless your planning on running a bigger turbo with 20+psi, then it would be worth your while.

Paul, SteveSST - what Cams do you use ? What exhaust ? Mine drops off slightly at about 7000 - but would love it to keep going .

hey brendon met u yesterday im steve...its nice to see u makin good use of the dyno day with up to date references :headspin: :headspin:

i was amazed this was commented earlier with the car ur referring to

Steve SST quoted "This is for those that think that RB25s dont make a shit load of power and high revs on stock cams and heads.Check it out."

so i take it the motor beens untouched :confused:

Pauls motor has a stock head and cams but RB26 rods Arias pistons and a Greddy intake manifold and an R32 GTR intercooler GT30 turbo and Plugin Wolf and GTR injectors.

Pauls car has 22psi thru the mid range bit is turned down to 18psi thru the top as the fuel pump was to small to feed the top end.It now has an 044 pump and cams on the way.

The GT30 should not get to 500rwhp but we will try and upgrade if it can't.

is it sydney or are we just suckers.......... gtr injectors are rated in the 400cc's i think...wouldnt they max out??? at that sort of power... cause most of the tuners in sydney reckon they do and reccomend something big? i thought the motor had stock rb25 rods...or are u refering to a different car in regards to rb25 rod limits :(

My 550cc sards are at 90% (no FP reg). I have very similar setup to Paul. HKS3040, HKS manifold, Arias Pistons, Stronger rods, Ported head, 256/9 Tomei cams, Trust/Greddy plenum, Q45 Thtl Bdy, Kings bearings, Redline Oil, oil cooler, Bosche pump, Big Bar & Plate cooler, 90 mm exhaust, Power FC, 21 PSI e-boost (more boost doesn't make a difference). Maybe I have hit the limit for the compressor ?

Pauls car went thru a big bash session last year when it went 411rwhp on RB25 injectors with big pump and ajustable reg but went on and proved its power at other dyno comps and a dyno run supervised by dyno dynamics.We often run GTR injectors to 450+rwhp with plug in Wolfs.

Pauls car needs to come down to Melbourne or Sydney and try pull those numbers i recon.

What elevation above sea level is ur factory?? :D

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
