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???

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • 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.
