Hey all

how much boost and how many kws of power can a rb25det take (obviously depending on driving style, but generally...)?

my rb is pushing 230-240 at the wheels on 20psi (very rarely on max boost) im just worried the internals are gonna kark it...

Should i be heaps concerned about making more then 250 on stock internals or can the pistons n stuff take more?

Cheers

As above

There are many topics on this.

Its each to their own. You can make over 300rwkw, but most people dont have it that way daily, and to my knowledge the others have have not, all died at some point

i have a mate who has a rb25 runnin 280rwkw... bigger turbo blah blah but yeah its not showing any signs of dying any time soon...

Theres a guy here in the states who had an rb25 with 595 rwhp in his Z car.

Keyword *had* the internals held up for a while.. But man, thats pushing it... Thats a ton of horsepower even WITH a good tune.

yeh mine made 254 and went bang after 3 months but that was due to bad tuning aswell but....i know theres a dude here in sa making over 300 on the stock internals and has done for a while

Over 300rwkw on stock internals?! That must be an amazingly good tune...

hahahha

well the 25 is in a s13 silvia... and std computer, std injectors.. standard everything except for GTR pump... lol

i didnt believe it untill i seen the dyno read out...

neways he is building another motor with gtr rods n pistions...

neways he knows what he wants :P

I had 350hp for ages before a hole ended up in piston 1, but that was down to either injector failure or a crank angle sensor problem I had. A mate has 410hp on his & thats still going, but it would probably go if he kept it on full boost for a while.

impressive gt-passage.

so in theory a bigger turbo with less boost is safer than a smaller turbo with more psi making the same power? sure it will be a bit laggier but will be safer for standard internaled rb25? is this a valid theory? common knowledge?

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
