Anyone else gotten over the apparent " 250rwkw " limit using standard compression and pump fuel? My car is geting dyno tuned next week and i will be really dissapointed if the limiting factor is compression.

We have had 305 rwkw out of an R34GTT. Tomei 260 Poncams, R33GTR intercooler, ported and polished cylinder head, standard head gasket (I don't use thick ones) and a Garret GT30. It wasn't all nice to drive, too peaky, lots of lag, poor throtle response.

I'm quite suprised the GT30 didnt fair to well in terms of response? Usually you can get max boost at a tad over 4000rpm on an SR so surely it would have been better on a NEO?

Well it depends on the setup eg manifold design and what the target boost pressure is. However here's a nice example of a HKS GT3037 (aka GT30R with a custom T25 flanged housing) with a 0.87 housing on an S14;

So I naturally would have thought the response would have been better on the RB25?

You can read more about that chart I posted up here;

(One thing to note is I am not sure if the 0.87 in the HKS T25 flanged is the same as the 0.87 in the GT T3 housings, even with the same turbine...) Sorry for going OT but yeah, interested in how the GT30R works with the NEO.

Edited by Busky2k

Interesting topic id say it would be the same for the neo as it is the non neo and obviously depend on the set up.

My question is this, Would a large turbo making 250rwkw easily put less stress on a engine than a small turbo at high boost / peak to above peak efficency?

Just deciding on a turbo for a customers car, 34gtt, either a 2871inwg in a modified nissan ex housing, or a 3037in wastegate, or a gt35r .84 ex wastegate , he wants 300rwkw, but i think this will be pushing it. Any ideas?(99% street 1%drags)

1. does the customer have stock internals...?

2.if doesnt want to crack it open hks 2835pro s or 3037 pro s the 2871 you get too much back pressure due to small ex housing.

3. if engine is going to be cracked open i would suggest the gt35r and that will take u way over 300rwkw.

4. if u want a respnsive fun car then i would more inclined to go for the 2835 or 3037 . 2835 pro s is 420ps and the 3037 pro s is 480ps .

cheers

sorry to bring up this old thread but whats the limits on a NEO RB25DET before you gotta crack it open??? im askin coz i have heard anywhere from 250awkw to 350 awkw which is a big difference... and what would be the best turbo to use (street car looking for good response) up untill internal have to be replaced? would it be smart to just high flow the stock one?

I think 350rwkw is massively over generous.

it would late 5 minutes. maybe.

GCG high flow rocks.

If you are in Melbourne....

350 is over generous hey??? that's what i thought... i just picked up an old fast fours mag of a mate yesterday with the tunning guide for RB20s and RB25s and it says in there that if you wanna run anywhere around 300rwkw on stock internals then you better be very careful... so i guess aroung 270 - 280 would be ok if the tunning is right... once i get to about 200rwkw i mite ivestigate cgc bit more... thanks for you reply..

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
