I'm the one chris davey is referring to
I can lock the stall converter on my auto and also manual shift it so it's very close to a manual. This was done in 3rd gear (1:1) on flat road not a dyno.
No offence to you guys or to the RB25DET in general, but I find it funny how a lot of the posts here seem to have great concerns about the engine holding together. Just not a problem with 1jz-gte. I have run even higher boost, it just loves it, except i have to pull out masses of timing at anything over 20psi+ on 100ron fuel. Seems the turbo is good for around 25-26psi, but the fuel can't really cope with that boost. It has been interesting reading about the water injection that the mafia has done, especially how he has put in another 10 more degrees of timing. I know my setup on 24psi I'm running about 10 degrees of timing at around max torque, another 10 on top of that would help hugely. We did notice about a 5-6rwkw gain per degree of timing at the 21-22psi mark. I assume however that gain would get lower as the timing got closer to the optimal timing.
