guys, be realistic.
You aren't going to be safe on a Standard motor over 250rwkw. Anything above that is a gamble. I've been running 300rwkw for a while now (more than a year) but there are factors involved there.
1. I'm a tuner and are constantly looking after the tune and monitoring it for knock, and being careful.
2. I change the oil every 3k-4k kms. (Shell Helix Fully synthetic 5w40)
3. I run water methanol Injection
4. Its not a track car, and I don't peak the revs out much at all.
5. My engine was like new when I got it - 169psi across all cylinders, and 2% leakdown. Its at 167psi and 3% leak down now.
If you want 280rwkw~ then get the GT3037 (garrett is fine) but also always have in the back of your mind that you could be rebuilding the engine the next time you take it for a drive.
It sure as hell is in the back of my mind when I drive my. Shit when I start it I'm thinking about it.
Ok, here are some other facts though.
I noticed you've been bullshitted into getting a FPR. Simply don't. Its not needed, as I don't have one. I run nismo 555cc injectors, and they'll take me to at least 310rwkw - 320rwkw on the factory regulator.
As about the Garrett \ HKS thing, tell your tuner to shut his mouth, and go and buy a GT3037 Garrett, 56 trim compressor, 0.6 compressor cover, 84 trim turbine, 0.82 IW rear housing. CHRA is 700177-5007.
I have one with a 0.63 rear and it makes 300rwkw on 17psi (creeping to 18psi). BUT I have water methanol injection. Take 20rwkw - 40rwkw from this to get your result. Also, the dyno I was on is under rating so you'll probably get about 280rwkw without WMI and a 0.82 rear housing).
Here is my thread - its worth a read.
