Ive got a rb25det neo and a couple of weeks ago my car started overboosting. Didnt really pay attention but a couple of days ago i was looking through my engine bay and found the actuator hose was disconnected. The turbo was boosting up to 1.1 bar which is like 17psi which is wayyy past the recommened max psi for rb25det neo turbo. It went up to 1.1 on like 15 different occassions. Could i have damaged the turbo or engine in any way because of this? it runs 12psi daily setup. thanks.

you could have, or could have blown a bearing or seal...did you? Is it making the right boost at a stable level, is it making any noise, is it blowing any smoke? If the answer is to be no to those questions 3, then, i'm sure it's fine. That's not a lot of boost anyway; 25+, now that would be a cause 4 concern.

If the turbos not blowing smoke your fine.

What i would be worrying about is how lean you got your engine.......

my car has already been tuned with a power fc and it blows out black smoke for dayzzzzz. The back bumper needs to be resprayed because the black smoke has permanently stained the bar. Gonna get some low key garret turbo, some injectors and a z32 afm then im gonna take it to JEM to get it retuned

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
