Need more info to be able to give you a better answer but...

I have seen stock RB25DET's push over 300kw at the wheels, but there are so many variables that you cant account for when extracting big power from an internally stock motor...

Your mate might get a solid run for a while with big power, or he might have to re-build it after it blows a hole in a piston... It depends on how healthy the engine is to start with.

Most of his reliability will come from a really good tune (assuming he is using high quality parts and lubricants aswell).

engine strength is not an issue. its tune quality and how close to the edge of detonation you want to run.

any engine, even a fully built engine with thousands spent will fail under prolonged detonation or preignition.

theres stock internalled engines pushing 300, 400, 500kw reliably

it all comes down to the tune and the quality of your supporting mods to ensure that the measured fuel is delivered and adequate cooling/lubrication is provided.

Yeh, to be on the safe side, I would suggest injectors, fuel reg and probly invest in a good fuel filtration system lol. Judging by the mods he wants a bit of power from it. There is plenty of places to get tunes here in Canberra. I believe ed from Autotech is a Haltech Rep, so probly see him. Or ESP I reckon would know their way around a Haltech and Trojan are Skyline specialists...

has a fuel reg and is getting a new fuel pump (something bigger and better then a gtr one) and some injectors. cheers stu and the tune is going to be done in nsw from someone i have never heard about lol mean while he then is going to take it to a place in sydney.

    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
