Stock Rb20 turbo Fluke?

[moso240]

I was cruising around today without noticing i had my tru boost set to 18 pounds till i got home about 2 hours later...the car was being pushed hard and driving amazing the turbo is a stock ceramic wheel turbo so how could i possibly hold up under that amount of stress? is there a way to cheeck if for whatever chance my turbo has been rebuilt/upgraded internals etc?

You can verify it is a "nissan turbo" and check for shaft play - neither of these will really tell you much.

The fact that you can boost to 18psi doesnt really mean much, as its not a finite line that once crossed will result in immediate compressor destruction.. It's moreso that after prolonged use your turbine will shatter into thousands of pieces and damage your motor internally..

Have fun

you realize that at 18psi the stock turbo is nothing more than a fancy hairdryer due to it being hella inefficient.besides you dont have the fuel or mapping for 18psi so why are you running that much?

[moso240]

well im guessing i have all the maps and everything since when i picked it up from my tuner he gave it to me on 18 PSI and while messing with the truboost lowered setting A to 14 pounds

[Carl H]

do you have a chipped ecu?bigger injectors?18psi is too high for stock motor...sounds like your 'tuner' doesnt know what he was doing.

[moso240]

i have an AEM EMS but i know my tuner does not know what to do but he is the only guy around my area that will touch an EMS

[uber95]

So you are saying you have a high dollar stand alone system, have no ability to tune it yourself; have taken it to someone who also has no ability to tune it, is that correct? If that's the case you should get yourself a stock computer and drive the car in stock form until such time as you are capable of tuning yourself or can take it to a competent tuner..

im only 14 dont expect me to know how to tune an ems now but will be willing to learn.. im not gonna mess with my own ems having a huge risk that it would just blow up so yea might of been a ****ty tune but atleast its a safe tune... and my orginal ECU wont run on my car.. i got a walbro 255 and the car jus runs way to rich to the point it ruins my plugs in a matter of hours

[moso240]

[Carl H]

now what really baffles me here is not only are you too young to drive and driving illegally, but you're also buying upgrades for which you have no way to run them...

[matafied]

something everyone is prob. thinking, were is all that money coming from? ( i wish my parents were rich )but i will say this, as long as you don't drink or do drugs, have fun and drive away..

[Darius]

LOL I give you credit for being so enthusiastic and knowledgeable for your age. But 14 yr olds in fast cars that like to "live life on the edge" usually don't know that "edge" until it is too late and wrap themselves around a bridge abutment. Just be safe man.

matafied- in his sig link he has a pic posted of "his dad's rides" and one's a Ferrari Maranello??. I'm not up to speed on my Ferrari lineup, but too rich for my blood.

[matafied]

yea ummmmm yea

[lilskyline240]

the reason ur car wont run right on the stock computer with the walbro has nothing to do with the ecu. You need a Nismo FPR to turn the fuel pressure down cuz its overpowering ur stock FPR.

on a second note. you want to live life on the edge at 14? Please let me know when u are out driving so i can stay away from u

[Shocker]

LMAO I just looked at this thread, 14 years old haha and driving illegally? In a decently fast car HA. Wow lol. If only I grew up as a rich kid, that would have made things a lot easier lol........

oh yeah don't get caught...(again as it seems)...

[DriftX]

Wow.. thank god I have unisured motorist protection.

he's some advice. Go buy a honda and save your car from certain death.

[moso240]

Its funny how you think im going to wreck my car.. guys i know my limits and when it comes to my 240 I baby it More then anything I like To cruise...
