Stock Engine Max Boost?

[lcy]

Hi ppl,

was wondering what is the maximum boost(PSI/bar) a stock engine with supporting mods can handle...

engine would be a RB25det NEO.

supporting mods would be:

gt3037

injectors

fuel pump

afm etc etc.

found many info on boost level for turbo but not for engine.

or it is the same for turbo and engine?

thanks in advance!

cheers!

topic says Not Turbo.... but in the body you say its an RB25DET ... which one is it?

18psi if its turbo, 20psi if you have big balls and an awesome tuner.

N/A i wouldnt have a clue.

i think he means how long will the engine last... not the turbo??

in that case how longs a piece of string??

cause it can put out lots of power for a short time

boost would also depend on the size of the turbo.. but id say youd be able to put out 280-300rwkw somewhat reliably..

well it should last more than a year

id say around 16psi... 18 pushin it... i dont think you would get to much more of a gain pushing that turbo on much more boost than that but im not a expert on turbos =P

lol

some one always finds a way to stick in a ''piece of string'' joke.

but jarrod is right.

16pound on a healthy engine, based on a good tune will last for a while

Same as all the other threads.

Who knows.

Tune

Motor condition

Use of car

all play varying factors... where is the piece of string?

it depends on the size of the turbo and the condition of the motor.

no one can put their finger down and say "you can run X amount of boost on a X motor". there is only safe boost information for turbos.

my advise would be to do a wet and dry compression test, return the results to your tuner and let him estimate what he thinks is safe. hopefully he knows what he is doing and has come across an RB and GT3037 combo before which he can base his safest tune from.
