The letterbox magnet has a new life!

[ix9]

Just thought I'd share my experience with 1.2bar on my HKS GT2535.... I couldn't run much boost before, ie 10psi max without it misfiring.

After replacing the coils with some better ones, I can now take it to 16psi easily. So much more power, and now it really makes me appreciate the HKS quality and response of this turbo. Absolutely remarkable. It went harder on just 10psi before, but now it's completely changed the way I feel about my car.

Anyway - in summary HKS GT2535 + Stainless Split Dump + New coils = Perfect match for the RB25

keeping it eh?

[uneekwahn]

yay! kym is keeping it!

When do I get my cat back and more beers?

[Jordan]

Letterbox magnet?

Kym,

You still on your stock injectors? If so, be careful cause with that much boost, you're injectors are going to be maxxing out big time if you're on stockies. I don't run any more than a bar into my 2535 and that gets me dangerously close to 100% injector duty according to my PFC.

Glad you're enjoying it though, told you it was worth the $$

wat kinda coils u end up usin?

[hazerb30]

yeh letterbox Magnet?? I thought i was the only one..

ROFL

Kym do you have any pics of that split dump pipe

[ix9]

Jas,

You'll get your stock cat back soon, f*cken pits failed me for a second time! *GRRR*

Dave,

Whoops didn't know about that - might keep it around 1bar then if that's so, either way it's yet to be tuned at CMP soon so that'll tell me what's going on and Yep, NOW i can enjoy this turbo to it's fullest potential

Brendan,

Standard S2 coils, ie, mine were well shagged out

Jason,

I'll post some up soon for ya

[uneekwahn]

kym, bitchin man, where'd you get done this time?

I'm in no hurry for it, just wanted to see if you'd give me some free beer

[ix9]

Oh nah, there was "one nut" missin from an exhaust bracket = fail

Believe me, beers will be well forthcoming - IOU bigtime

Didnt SST pull much more HP out of the stock injectors in tristans motor because it has a wolf ecu??? I dont drive my skyline much anymore, its for sale, but i dont go much above 12psi and believe there still plenty of fuel in it (on the hyperdrive dyno the afc's were all good even at 1bar) *shrug* If i had another $5k, i'd do some head work, exhaust manifold, set of cams to try and bring boost on earlier and some bigger squirters too. Personally I have to say the td06 has to be another worthy turbo for the rb25det, mine has the largest exhaust housing but i reckon with a slightly smaller one, a decent exhaust manifold it'd be up there for response and top end power too. Pauls GT30 was pretty nice too.

Rob,

I dunno about anyone elses car or how anyone else tunes. All I can tell you that with mine, although my AFR remained perfect at 12:1 at 1 bar, my injector duty was like 98% according to my PFC. That to me reads that I shouldn't be pushing it any harder than that boost wise for risk of my injectors maxing out, my AFR leaning back out and my car detonating.

I hold no opinions in the way SST vs any other people tune, I don't know anything about Tristans car, I don't know anything about the Wolf vs the PFC cause i've only used the latter, I don't know anything about Kym's car or your car. My original comment is based purely on MY experiences with MY car.

I'll close by saying that given another $2K to spend on car (and i'm buying a house so i don't have that money at the moment), it'd go straight to injectors and another PFC tune @~1.4-1.6 bar and be the happiest camper around town.

Cheers!

Standard S2 coils, ie, mine were well shagged out

So what coils are you using now? splitfire or just another set of SII coils?

[ix9]

ummmm, just new S2 coils

[N I B]

Many PPL have seen around 400rwhp 0n stock injectors and on most dynos in WA.

We will see what Kyms car does at the Dyno comp.

:bs!:

Pull your head out. For all intents and purposes, all us RB25 boys(and girls) have roughly the same setup, with the only notable difference being our engine management and turbo. Those that are capable of reaching said horsepower usually all have CAI, regulator, bigger pump, bigger turbo, cooler, zorst, boost, ECU and cam gears give or take. Those that SAFELY make that horsepower, would ALL have bigger injectors, end of story. Sure, I'm not saying that he couldn't get there, son of rajab knows I could have got my tuner to just wind 1.6 bar into my turbo, cranked the rail pressure right up and nudged my power figure toward the quoted 400 you speak about but how long would that last? one run? two runs? one month?

I'm not having a pissing competition with anyone. All I know is that after shelling out thousands in an engine rebuild once due to ignorance, I don't want to be having another any time soon and therefore, my warning to Kym stands as far as i'm concerned. No i'm not a mechanic and i'm sure there are lots of workshops that have traded successfully for a lot of years and all that BS that we've all heard before.

Kym, if you're entering a pissing contest, ignore my warning and let them screw as much horsepower as they can possibly get out of your stock injectors. Bear in mind that spray patterns are effected once you crank rail pressure up. End of the day, it's your car and your money. Best of luck mate and I honestly mean that. For me, I'm happy to putt around on 12-14psi until I upgrade my injectors but that's just me.

/end rant

Dave,

Definitely not a pissing contest on my part, I don't give two hoots about peak power output or screwing as much horsepower as possible, Steve knows this too. I'm after clean usable response over the stock variants.

As for SAFE horsepower and recommendations, I'll leave that to my tuner's experience based on my CURRENT level of modifications.

Thanks for the advice as we pretty much have the same setup in terms of bolt-ons
