What's the issue? Tune related?

Could be a number of things. It's not there to make epic power. I just wanted him to throw it on and make sure everything was okay. But if its losing that much power something has to be wrong.

Just made a phenomenal 160kw@ 9-10psi!

Obviously Shaun @ BoostWorx is fixing it.

out of a 26 that is definitely low power.....i know your not after epic numbers but still should be higher then that......pretty sure Shaun will nut it all out and let you know what is going wrong with it.....hopefully nothing major mate.....

A stock RB25 (flywheel 187kw) only makes around 140rwkw. A stock S15 (147kw) makes 114rwkw. My stock V35 (206kw) makes 146rwkw. 160rwkw for a stock, tired nearly 20 years old GTR sounds reasonable.

my RB20. 172kw > engine feeling sick > 110kw

Hope you get it sorted mate, but the extra 2psi its missing for whatever reason would counteract some of the difference...

Thats exactly what I thought.

No boost restrictor, front pipes, catback and pods should of surely opened up the breathing a whole lot more.

My last car had most of the things youve listed there, and it would run a whopping 4psi on "stock" boost. I needed a boost tee to actually get it up to the standard 7psi. Funny thing is, they had a boost cut at 12psi with a buzzer that went off in the cabin when it hit... I could get my guage to read around 11-11.5psi when it hit. It wasnt leaking boost, it simply just didnt run would it should have without help.

I dont know if wastegate actuators get dodgey over time or not, but this car was in the same age bracket.

I just had a thought, if the BPV(s) was leaking and recirculating back into the intake, could that cause it?

Maybe, but would it be enough to only take off 2psi? On the standard boost gauge I get to the line under +7. +7 apparently being 1 bar or 14.7psi. So I assumed I'd be around 10-11psi.

But when Shaun said it should be making atleast 190kw @10-11psi and 230-250 on 14psi.

He said it could be a timing issue or exhaust issue. But it could be a combination seeing as I've just got a compliance cat (bashed) and some thrashed out trust front pipes and dirty dirty dirty apexi pods. That surely isn't helping me at all.

Its suprising how much difference little things can make. I gained noticably more punch just by removing the resonator from my 3" stainless exhaust. - unfortunately I cant vouch for how much it was in KW, but you get the idea.

Ask RBWARE how much difference an exhaust can make to your power output!

Also, I dont think the boost stock guage works very well somehow :rolleyes:

Its 14psi man, and if it weren't my engine would lean out and go BANG! as I only have standard injectors. And the standard boost gauge represents 14psi where it hits and sits all day everyday

    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
    • Hi all, I thought I'd put one of these references in here before but it seems I haven't - not sure how many people are actually using this place still but I feel like there are guys lurking about who might find this reference useful or interesting.  A lot of the time people don't catch key details or even fully understand how compressor maps work - or don't even look at them and just go from heresay about deciding how different turbos may compare, but I've been putting together this table over the years as a quick reference to get a gauge of how certain compressors compare to cut down the time that can be wasted looking around aimlessly. * This relates purely to compressor flow, so won't necessarily reflect the outright capabilities of these turbos as the power potential also comes down to the turbine side.  If you understand this, you should be able to use this 😃 * The inducer and exducer size listed are the mm of just the compressor wheel * The values under the "psi" headings are "lb/min airflow" and reflect the maximum airflow that compressor supports before it's efficiency dips under 65%, or it reaches it's maximum speed - whichever comes first. Any questions, or requests for other turbos which the compressor map is available for then let me know 🙂
    • And what you pay for a pack of 8 bolts and nuts at Bunnings, will land me 200 of the same nuts and bolts from a fastener shop.   M12 * 1.25 IS a standard. It's not like ordering M12x1.25 and hoping the thread pitch is right. Unlike ordering an ounce, will get you 4 different amounts depending on which ounce someone takes it to be. Your issue is a supply issue.
    • Try using Penrite 80W140, has Limslip predosed into it
