How much Boost is safe for an SR?

think what you want but dont talk until you actually own one. theres a reason I threw a $2500 engine in the garbage. and it was definitely not because i felt like "downgrading"

Ummm, I was talking about going from a 2871 and supporting mods back to stock. Sheesh.

2871r makes me waste more gas.
cuz it's way too fun.
i'd rather get aero or something and paint my car.

i'm sorry that you're going CA.

are you kidding me? im guessin u never rode in a GTiR t28 powerd SR s13 then huh? cuz my buddy had a s14 t28 at 20psi and then went with the GTiR t28 i sold him and made 24whp more on the dyno at the same boost level and he only boosted like 200rpm later. That car SCREAMS now

idk why your sorry bout that? i would be sayin sorry to him if he was puttin in an aluminum block motor that has the worst head design in the world *cough cough* SR20 *cough cough*

iron block doesnt mean shit. i had a CA18 bored to 1.9 liters with forged internals and it was still garbage.

Garbage probably cause you fucked up somewhere, you can't just tune the CA like every other motor. But I'm not getting into the CA Vs SR debate, they both have their pros and cons.

i wouldnt be so much worried bout the iron vs aluminum block as much as i would be worried bout head design..

cam over bucket is nothing to rave about either. big deal if SR's have rocker arms, $50 rocker arm stoppers and you never have to worry about them.

no matter what you like to think because you own an RB. Aftermarket support for SR's is ten times that of CA and RB combined. the CA would be a great platform if it had actually been utilized for more than 2 years or so.

see i dont have to "worry" about my head design, because guess what. if something breaks i can upgrade with the click of a mouse. I dont have to try to hunt down parts from the 6 people in the US that own CA's...

You're forgetting about the pulsar that came with the CA18DE. Any autoparts stores will carry parts for them.

umm no I'm not, i got MY MOTOR out of a pulsar.

fucking idiot.

You're doing a good job at proving how much of a douche you are in this thread. Goodbye now.

clever

im not going to sit here and argue with you ryan. You are just like most nissan owners thinkin they got the greatest shit around. IDC bout bein able to go online and order parts super easy. If i wanted that i woulda bought a civic and did a b16 swap... whats the point of doin something thats been done a million times? Im not sittin here callin you out on havin a sr until u start sayin shit bout other ppls stuff

everybody needs to chill and tell me what max boost is on a t25 for an sr

im set on 14lbs correct???

you can boost w/e u want with the t25. max efficency is 14psi

Fuck the T25s/T28s The GT this GT that...

be a real man and getyourself a real mans turbo:

Bullseye S256 Borg Warner extended tip:

That bitch blows sooo good she'll make 50 Thai hookers look stupid!!!

Not to mention you will literally blow the competition away.... makes GT35Rs look stupid.

14psi and up is getting beyond the turbos efficiency range, that and given the age/mileage on the turbo its not gonna hold up very well. Id say leave it around 12 to be safe and have it last til you can get a new one.

GT47-88 and 42psi and you'lll be set.....








to blow up

how many times do we have to tell you before you get it. 14psi out of a T25 PERIOD. end of discussion

you want to upgrade?

S14 T28- $300
compressor inlet/outlet clocking flanges - $100
stainless lines- $150

done, good for about 10psi. want more? get a PFC, some 550's and a Z32maf and make ~300whp with plenty of room for expansion.

do some research, the answers are all out there.. its pretty basic stuff...

I ran mine at 12psi w/ boltons, would spank evo's and sti's the usuall douche bags....

Cool thanks guys.

yea just trying to make a thread to referece to if other have the same question

Hey 14K I have a stock SR with a t28 and its handling 13psi pretty good....aint had any issues with it

Thanks man but i sold the car. Good info thread though for the most part

I got a built bottom end eagle rods cp pistons, and a brian crower stage 2 head setup with some rocker arm stoppers (learn from mistakes) cheap insurance, bullseye turbo, peak boost top mount mani that just cracked at the weld actually but i was putting down 20psi and the car loved it, its all about the tune and having it set up properly, and keeping up with maintnance like plugs and oil helps alot too

t28 can handle 13 to 14psi no problem ill agree with that one

for a little while i ran 17-18 psi out of my T28 on stock s13sr and it ran fine. i'm sure my injectors were hating it, but it took it like a champ.
