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,

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
