The tuner does not sound to cluey to me mate, I have a 25/35 and it made 233rwkw’s. I thought that was about the norm, plus I am only running 11psi.

Why would you stress the shit out of the engine for a few more kilowatts? It’s a small turbo that is designed to make about 220~230 on an RB25.

Running crazy boost like 17~18 psi on a standard engine and reving it out so far is only going to kill the engine and turbo in a hurry. Spinning the wheels is what HKS turbos do so get use to it :rant:

19psi is fine but i have my rev limiter set at 7000. Max power is at 5,700rpm, so going much past 6200rpm is a waste of time as i feel the power dropping off. Even if i took the rev limiter off, i doubt whether it would go to 9,000rpm.,

I dunno about ur car Robo, but mine reves till 9000 rpm and bounces off rev limiter. You can ask Sam and Duc (Nozila). They were with me in the car this afternoon when it hits 9000rpm. I think its my new splitfire direct ignition coils, and new irridium sparkies that allows me to do that. :D

i think i will ask the tuner to set my rev limiter so I do not overrev :rant:

Hmmm, Robo boosts up till 19 psi on his 2530.... I should be fine with 1.2 bars I believe! Hmmm, I think i will be a little gentle on my peddle in the future...no more 9000rpm.... :rant:

yea well i've had some clown claiming that he did 24psi on a regular basis with a standard S14 turbo

oh the pain... a stock internal motor at 9000rpm... ouch

and I don't think 13psi through a HKS turbo could be classified as stock boost... it would be flowing a lot more air than the stock turbo at 13psi... correct me if I am wrong

please back the tune off a bit and spend some money on mods to keep the engine alive and the car out of the trees...

all that aside it sounds like an awsome setup, I am leaning heavily towards a similar setup and I can't wait;)

I would strongly recomend to NOT rev your car out to 9000 RPM. Especially with a stock bottom end.

My old setup had the bottom end completely bulletproofed and I still didn't take it past 7500. (With 330rwkw).

I once took it 9000rpm at a WSID meet - spun a bearing. Got the bottom end bearings (new) repaced - Put an oil cooler on and all good.

Seriously - if you want some more life outa your donk - DON"T rev it so much.

They are only looking out for you man through their own previous expiriences.... I have read stories of how much its costs to fix if something throws a leg outta bed. Look at it this way - The better you treat her, the better she will treat you.

Would it not just be the engine management? In other words does the PowerFC have the redline set to 9000-RPM? That is part of the engine tune is it not? … RacePace set my redline to 7500-RPM. So you are making 230rwkw’s on 13psi, you hope to make 250rwkws at 19psi? On the stock internals 19psi is not okay despite what you might hear. I mean its okay if you drive off boost with a soft foot but who does that? A 2530 is not a Trust T88 turbo, its designed for low boost applications.

Also how long have you owned the car?

Ohh damn well you don’t understand why we are so concerned then, these cars are far from invincible ;( I also wondered why you were a little scared or worried about the traction loss :(

I have owned my car for just over 3 years now and lets just say I don’t have the original turbo or engine :D In fact I don’t think I have the original anything really!

Can a bloody stock RB25 even rev to 9000 rpm?

Most ive taken mine to was 7,000 rpm (not hittin the limiter) but I wudnt go ANY more at all. My old 32 with the RB25 I took up to 7,500 sometimes but that setup/tuning was much different.

9,000 rpm ur gonna see a conrod pokin its head outta the block soon buddy.

hahaha........wow........

I guess the car should still be alright right? All the mods like turbo, pfc ,coils injectors...etc were only installed last week.... Its just that I have never felt so much power b4 in a car that I had to go crazy at 9000rpm :(

I am sane now!!! Thank you all for caring for me and my ride. i am so touched. i wish I could kiss all you guys! Is there anything I can do for my car to say sorry to her???

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
