Hey everyone

Just some questions to see if any1 can help.

My car was recently dynoed at 175rwkw at 10psi. Its got a front mount, 3" from the turbo and some other stuff.

I was told that i shouldnt go any higher than 10psi because stuff could snap. The previous owner said he could run 14psi on a bleed valve.

What else can i do to get some more power? i was hoping to get around the 200rwkw with the boost controller but yet...

what else can i do to my car?

cheers

Yes but wen you do that you can hav problems

There is only so much you want to run

After that engine blow up will be around the corner and rwkw does not mean you have a good car t drive

Power with power band is wat you need

cant i increase the psi higher than 10psi?

not on the stock turbo. 10-12psi is where its making its max power without putting too much stress on it. Ive heard that running more than 12psi through the stock T3, wont achieve much of a power gain anyway. and that running anything higher than 14psi for extended periods will kill the exhaust wheel.

200 +RWKW.

Back in the early days of messing with the rb25's we found that anything over 12lbs wasn't a very good idea, as it places too much strain on the std bottom end hence doesn't promote longetivity.

We found using a high flowed std turbo using a front mount, full 3" exhaust , pfc, boost controller would run at just over 200 rkws but would then run in to issues with fuel pressure etc, so i would recomend using a good quality fuel pump and pressure reg at the least but injectors if you can afford it. When its all said and done you cant axpect to get much more out of a std bottom end and have durability and the ability to be a daily driver etc. Thats why the blokes that are deadly serious about racing etc use os gkn motors that have nearly indesructable bottom ends etc to run rediculous amount of boost.It's also the reason i have built a stout 3ltr motor using good quality internals that will comfortably handle more than 2bar of boost when required.

Regards,

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
