RB5crew Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hi guys Any one know what boost the RB5 runs as standard & what would be safe boost with out mapping it... Current mods. HKS down pipe / de cat. Blitz Nur Spec exhaust. GFB dump valve & HKS induction kit. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I think the short answer is. It's safer to have it mapped with the supporting mods I have a digital manual boost controller I disconnected it after about 3 weeks of fitting it now just sits in the car and lights up. It's not all boost related fuel and air need to be added to the mix. I would say leave as it is the safest for me. Well until you can get a mapper to do it for you. One of the other guys might be able to tell you different I know a guy who lives near me that tweaks his a bit to get more but knowing he's had 3 Imprezas in the last 2 years I always wonder why he goes through them so quick.

Gambit Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Should work out about 13 psi depending if you work in psi or bar as standard :) I didn't see the 1st part II just see you asking what was safe to use :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 No worries mate So whats your plans then out of interest you changing the injector and fuel pump before the remap or just having the mapp done ? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB5crew Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 No worries mate So whats your plans then out of interest you changing the injector and fuel pump before the remap or just having the mapp done ? :) Just getting it mapped with the modds don't want to spend to much on it. I bought it to sell on I buy n sell cars But I'll see how good it is if I like it I'll sell my R32 and keep it :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Ah have same problem with someone at work always on about his r32 got excited only from hime to turn up in he golf haha, still nice motors though, vw's dont really do it for me Sent from my SM-T210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozyDave Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I wouldn't raise the boost yet, with the mods that are done already you could run the risk of running lean and possibly damaging the engine with proper mapping the boost can be raised to about 1.2 bar (17psi) and with the induction kit being free flowing there can be more fuel added. it should be about 270bhp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
