How much power can you safely get out of the RB25 stock turbo?
title says it all... I know its ceramic/carbon composit... but what do you think its reliably good for?
About 180rwkw is about as far as you can go if you want it too last. I have had mine highflowed and am sitting at 209rwkw on a moderate tune at 14psi.
Most of the people here in Australia that I know who have had the stock turbo at 190rwkw or above without highflowing have lost the turbo within 3-6 months.

Re: (Project240)
its a bolt on affair. just remove and replace.
and i honestly wouldnt push the 25 turbo above 13lbs for long, its proven it dosent last worth a **** so if you are going for real power numbers just upgrade.

Well i just got my RB25 in last week and i just took it to have it dynoed and i'm around 250hp at the wheel and all i have done to my car is GReddy intake and intercooler , a Megan down pipe and test pipe and a Tanabe SM-R exhaust, and a Koyo radiator and as far as boost and fuel It's stock!!
Re: (Project240)
it doesnt work.1 steering column is in the way2 if u got around the steering column u would need to get a spacer to go between the turbo and the exhaust manifold3 u would need a new custom downpipeProject240 wrote:Not meaning to threadjack, but what sort of modifications do you need to perform to mount an RB25 turbo to an otherwise stock RB20 engine? Anyone know?
numbers sound good but ur next upgrade that NEEDS to be done is a fuel pump. the difference in the car is amazing. also ur gonna damage the motor if u dont change it soonSky240PWR wrote:Well i just got my RB25 in last week and i just took it to have it dynoed and i'm around 250hp at the wheel and all i have done to my car is GReddy intake and intercooler , a Megan down pipe and test pipe and a Tanabe SM-R exhaust, and a Koyo radiator and as far as boost and fuel It's stock!!
