Car Is Slower On 14psi Then <10psi?

Let me start with this is my first RB I've owned, I'm used to XR6T's.

Long story short, when I run 14psi it feels considerably less slower ( especially in 2nd gear ) then it does running 8psi or so.

Anyone care to explain why? I know that it's not tuned for it but didn't think it would have such a big effect.

If so that is your problem. You're forcing more air into the engine. Chances are you need to adjust the air to fuel ratio in each cylinder accordingly. Too much air, not enough fuel, thats my guess.

Nope.

Too much fuel.

The stock ecu chucks in heaps of fuel and pulls timing with higher boost. Also referred to as rich and retarded.

Presumably you're talking about a 33..

14 is too high for the stock ecu, likely will blow the stock turbo pretty quick too.

In stock form anything over 12 is pushing your luck. 10 is generally about as high as safe levels go.

each car will vary in exact levels before its starts to fail.

Whoever told you 14 is a cowboy and you should disregard everything they have ever said. unless you want to just crank shit up till it blows and have your car off the road more often than on it.

Anyway, you have a lot of researching to do, so get to it =) its all here on SAU. Reading a few threads would have told you all this =)

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      im sure mine stays in gear and wont shift unless i shift it? and for sure it wont go back to Auto mode if its put in manual mode? if i use paddles but its still in D then of course it goes back to auto mode. but yer if its in -+ and i use paddles it will not auto change gears what so ever and i have tried this. it will gear down if at a stop though which is kinda nice but goes back to 1st gear not D. i think it used to be like this with imports aswell i dunno if its really like it anymore like when i got my R33 it had alot of JDM options which local cars didnt have. Now local cars have kinda caught up even the lower models. but yer transfer rates and other things makes it almost on par.

      Very decent bit of kit. Definitely black it out I reckon.

      PRP RB26 cast block + head prototype running

      Because people who want that are buying euros. The people with the money to buy the aftermarket heads and blocks aren’t interested in efficiency or making -7 power, they’re making well over 1,000hp and pretty much only drive them at full throttle  best way to way make money is know your customer base and what they want and don’t spend money making things they don’t want.

      It's not, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity regardless. For example, what if the cylinder head was redesigned to fit a GDI fuel system? It's worth like two full points of compression ratio when looking at modern GDI turbo vs PFI turbo. I'm pretty reliably surprised at how much less turbo it takes to make similar power out of a modern engine vs something like an RB26. Something with roughly the same dimensions as a -7 on an S55 is making absolutely silly power numbers compared to an RB26. I know there's a ton of power loss from things like high tension rings, high viscosity oil, clutch fan, AWD standby loss, etc but it's something like 700 whp in an F80 M3 vs 400 whp in an R33 GTR. The stock TF035HL4W turbos in an F80 M3 are really rather dinky little things and that's enough to get 400 whp at 18 psi. This just seems unwise no? I thought the general approach is if you aren't knock limited the MFB50 should be held constant through the RPM range. So more timing with RPM, but less timing with more cylinder filling. A VE-based table should accordingly inverse the VE curve of the engine.
