Hi, Seeing what's the max Boost anyone has seen on a built RB25? Catch is it was built with GTR stock rods!? It has CP forged pistons, head studs, Tomi Cams, adjustable gears, Turbonectics t3/t4 60 series ball bearing  turbo, Wolf v5.50, big fuel system, water 2 air intercooler and the rest of the usual mods but the Rods are my question and are the limit in the motor I assume. It is on run in tune on 14psi but now I want to turn the wick up but how far??

Thanks

Boost doesn't bend rods, torque does or excessive cylinder pressure due to many reasons such as knock,  ingesting water (Honda boys are good at this), injector(s) failing and dumping loads of fuel, etc.

      yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)

      Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions

      Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣

      Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?

      Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
