> [@Silent](#): > > yea a buddie of mine akira he had way back in the day a s13 with 180sx tails and r32 skyline front end like 6 years ago …he got a s12 and put an sr20det in it thing was awsome Was this car burgundy? I remember back in 2002 I met a kid at Kohl’s parking lot and he showed it to me. He had the R32 front end on it and 180SX tails and he also had a cam that wasn’t installed, 180SX rear window panels and a crazy oil burning smell. I never ended up buying it (obviously) And Steve, you only run 7psi? You have the same ceramic turrrrrrbo I push, right? My manifold pressure is (well, WAS) 11psi at full throttle (even with the big FMIC) at 3400 rpms and holds that till about 7k and it falls about a half psi until the redline of 7400. The thing is, there is no boost controller installed, and both the guy who did the swap and the kid who sold me the car said that was the stock ECU pressure, and also that the turbo can’t handle more than 15 psi at max and 13 psi regularly. Additionally, I can’t generate more than 1-2 psi in neutral. It HAS to be in gear to go any higher. Correct me if those numbers (other than my manifold reading) & statements are wrong. ---

I don’t have my manual boost controller installed, so I’m running off the wastegate spring (7psi). I just don’t care to setup the boost controller. Last year I ran 10psi with the MBC. The RB25 turbo is slightly better than the RB20 IIRC, RB20 guys bolt up the RB25 turbo’s for mild upgrades. I know that the RB25 turbo’s shouldn’t be pushed more than ~13-15psi because they are ceramic, no more than 12psi with stock injectors (370cc). I can hit 7psi and get some boost creep up to 10psi near redline. IIRC the RB20 has 270cc injectors so you might want to be careful. ---

Its the stock wastegate though (see below). And I have also been told the injectors are 440cc.
