Hi Guys,

What would be a safe Air / Fuel Ratio for an RB25DET running 14PSI - Everyday?? I have been told that a safe cruise level is around 14.7 / 1. My current cruise setting is 11.5 / 1. Can this in time cause oil to wash from the bore and what other dangers would I be looking at?? Thanks in advance.....

I agree around 11.5 to 12.1 is the safest... anything above 12.5 on boost could mean trouble for the engine. on cruising not sure, but as long as no boost, i guess 14 is ok. 11 on cruise is way too rich, something is wrong man

Have you got white smoke comming out your exhaust ?  

If so, your ring lands are probaly on thier way out !

If he said car is using a bit of oil, so I reckon the exhaust smoke should have a bluish colour if it's burning oil. ring land issue too.. or perhaps oil seal on turbo, either way, better get it checked.

I run 15:1 at light throttle on my GTR no problem at all. 40 to 42 degrees timing No problem. Once over 3600rpm though I increase it to 14:1, still 40 degrees timing too.

Boost> as per above posts :D

I think your car has a problem ....

Mike

    • Hi. Hoping someone can maybe tell me if the same R34 cable works on R33 coup? Or tell me how I can fix mine. It broke the same way 1" away from the eye. Blessing
    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.
