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,

    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
    • I refer you to this thread on PF, by someone who knows what he's doing. Paints a good picture of the humble AD09.
    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
