How long would a motor last with 250kw

[KRiMiNaL]

With standard internals is it safe to run 250rwkw in a r33gtst. How dangerous is it. If im running low boost everyday and only when i feel like giving it a hit, boost it up to be running 250rwkw is that fine?

[R31Nismoid]

yeah, should last a while if the tune is right.

belting it everyday might be a bit different

[slow13dude]

It's not necessarily the boost. It's where the tacho needle is spending most of its time.

[KRiMiNaL]

Good to hear

Really it should last as long as an engine making 150kw as long as all the support mods are in place and it gets regular TLC...

However, if you have stock IC, stock injectors, etc etc... probably wont last very long at all.

nah im gettin it properly done and dyno tuned. Getting my car back today or tommorw

have a bit of conversation with steve a while ago, owner of a R33 Gts-t+ GT3037.

He is running over 300rwkw with stock internal, i am not sure what boost he run daily, but he told me he did over 20000km without any problem.. yet

I think a good tune will helps a lot.

yep, more about the tune than the power at the wheels, as detonation can blow ring lands even at modest power. Just get a FC so you can keep an eye on knock!

Im getting a haltech e6x can that check? mechanic told me there better than fcs they dnt have airflow meters or sumfin.

[G0DF4Th3R]

tune, maintenance and driving style are factors..

[Trust33]

They dont have air flow meters which can be good for ping reasons i recon cause they can tune with fuel.But the consumption will be through the roof especially at 250rwkw.

On the PFC knock reading, what is generally acceptable? I was consisently getting between 80-100 knock values, then retarted my CAS a little and now getting around 30's. But it dont pull quite as hard

[Trust33]

U perth guys.

in a recent thread covering my tune sydneykid said knock below around 40 is ok and acceptable, unsure about knock levels above 40
