hey all just want to know what the max boost a rb25det can handle regarding just the motor its self...

atm it is running about 1.5bar with a t70 turbo and all is well, just want to know if that is safe

is the motor capable of more boost or is this about it???

no pinging and no leaning out, so far :)

Cheers Acea

Its not about how much boost can it handle its about how much power it can handle on stock internals. What power are you making at the moment? Then we can give you a basic guide to what is generally considered safe on stock internals. Around 250-260rwkw for longetivity of engine.

cheers for the fast reply

heres the full story... me and a mate have been building his 32 rb25det for ever and have logically progressed to the point where right now after getting a 3in put on 3 days ago the 38mm gate is to small to bypass enough gas. so with the wategate connected straight to the manifold it spikes at 1.5 and drops to about 1.35 in 3rd. where as before with such a restrictive exhaust the max boost it would run was about 14 psi with the wastegate connected to nothing or the boost controller set to max.... being in wodonga and both working full time its going to be about 2 weeks before we can install a tial 44mm gate or something bigger (unsure if 44mm gate is enough?)

it made 200rwkw with old exhaust and i think now at 1.5bar and a free flowing exhaust its probably pushing 250 ish (really unsure? +or- half a brick) but the stuck in the seat factor has increased considerably and it breaks traction in 3rd...

just need to know if 1.5bar is ok untill we can change the gate and get it back on the dyno for a tune

cheers acea

AFR's are sweet thanks to a wb02 kit :) we have the computer mapped for a z32 maf but are using the r32 one to put the comp into saturation so at full noise and 7k its running about 11.5:1 (as soon as we are happy with the boost controllability its straight on the dyno for a re map and some timing)

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
