HY35 RB25 NEO not making power?

So I rebuilt a stock rb25 neo with cometic mls head gasket, arp hardware, freddy intake mani, top mount turbo mani, HY35 turbo, walboro pump, 550cc injectors, tial 38mm W/G,  running Link G4+. Got tuned today by a very good and reputable tuner, goal hp was 400whp and only made 280whp? The motor runs flawlessly, but boost was solid from just after 4k to about 6.5k and boost would fall off. He said the turbo is reaching it maximum volumetric efficiency as the AR is to small (.65) or the turbo is damaged. Now from all the research ive done I thought the HY35 was capable of 450ish hp on rb25s? Am I mistaking? Does anyone have any dyno sheets running the same turbo? Thanks - Josh

Can you post up your boost curve and power curve? What are you using for boost controland how much boost are you getting? What fuel? Do you know your compression ratio or have you tested with a compression gauge? Got a decent FMIC?

I will post up the dyno sheet tonight. Last night i realized i did not put the compressor o ring on. were doing a boost leak test today and if its leaking real bad ill fix that and throw it back on the dyno to see if it fixes the issue. Boost curve curvs up from about 3k to 4k then at 4k it holds 14psi flat untill about 6k then dips a couple psi to redline. He even threw in extra injector duty cycle and closed the wastegate a bit  where it starts to dip to see if it would help but nope. Boost is controlled via mac 3 port solenoid and link g4+. Fuel is 92 octane. Have not measured compression ratio but Its probably a smidgen higher than factory, stock headgasket thickness was used on the head that has been resurfaced 4-5 times and the block resurfaced once. FMIC is a good sized ebay item. I really hope its just a massive boost leak that does not show itself untill 15 psi, i had high hopes for holset, but i may end up having to go with a legit turbo, which sucks because i just paid 450$ to have a custom down pipe made.

I see people making power at 1.5 bar so you need more boost!

BTW if you google Holset HY35 manuals there are a bunch of makers manuals from Cummins.

Its common to find knock off FFP with pinholes. To pressure test system make up a plug from anything - plumbing fittings or whatever you have to hand and put a tyre valve in the middle. Pull the outlet off the turbo and put the plug in the pipe and apply pressure with an air hose.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years.

      Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner

      High temp brake fluid?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?

      High temp brake fluid?

      By PranK · Posted

      In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR.

      RB25DET in GTS4 R32 conversion

      By Jason Abell · Posted

      For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.
