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???

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
