You don't mention what you have for a fuel system.

With your mods you can pretty well go where you like if you can get sufficient fuel and a clutch that will hold up.

Have a scan through the RB26 mods list and you will get a good idea but for ~320 rwkw you will probably need bigger injectors and a bigger fuel pump and run anywhere from 1 to 1.4 bar to get your target depending on who is tuning it.

^^^ cheers

how long can the motor hold 25psi for, will it blow up??

not if i built it...hehe

my last engine with 2530's saw 34psi and made 467kw at the tyres...on the dyno

and ran low 10 sec passes on 28psi for 3 years until.....N1 oil pump shat itself launching at 9500rpm

rev's will kill your engine before boost will (provided its properly tuned)

In terms of you wont make 440rwkw on PULP regardless due to needing decent fuel, then you need good ignition etc, its a domino effect

my interest relates to your statement of running 22-24psi then spark breaking down, obviously making 440rwkw will require fuel and solid ignition upgrades

    • First time visitor and currently getting ready to start work on my HK Premier.  Its all stock, 186 with 3 on the tree.  The only mod i have right now is extractors.  I am hoping to get some guidance on slightly modifying the engine to bring a little more power. Just going for a nice, comfortable cruiser.  The car is very straight, however i have been out of the country for 20 years and its been gathering dust at a family farm.  Will be doing quite a bit of body work to cut out some small rust areas (frnt quarter panels and a few other small bits) and fix up the paint.  Will be redoing the interior (its currently black and the seats are in real need of recovering and respringing the driver side (its front bench seat).  The dash needs a little TLC, but no real damage.  As my heater has degraded I am considering fitting something after-market that will be both heater/AC (recommendations here are always welcome). Wanting something discrete that will allow me to use the same controls and not be obvious once inside the car.   For the engine, i have been told i could consider upgrading my cam (imagine i would need a new head as well) and putting a new carby (currently the original stromberg).  However not sure what is going to be the best route.  Would certainly welcome any comments/suggestions.  As  a final step I am looking at changing the wheels. Current hubcaps are in dire need of refurbishment or replacement (imagine its a bit like hens teeth).  Thinking of some clean/classic looking mags (7-inch should be more than enough - not going for a large change in look).  Welcome any comments/advice and of course any questions. 
    • I got the ARC M079 due to the space constraint.  Been running mint for the last 3 years.  Plazmaman also seems like a really solid choice but not used myself.    Hunt around for a better price but this is what I have - https://www.rhdjapan.com/arc-brazing-intercooler-smic-m079-bnr32.html
    • Wanted to follow up on this. Did you end up getting the M073? Still deciding on what to get between nismo m073-79 and plazaman.  
    • I was just watching these boys up in QLD AWD'ing their S13 too.  
    • Por que no los dos? At least my euro brawler is reliable - unlike the JDMs I've had. Sheraaz you look familiar, did you ever come to an SAU VIC meet aaaaaages ago?
