Default Power limit on ODB

I am sure this has been covered before but i cant find on here.

Im currently running EJ25 fully forged its an ODB just wanted to know what sort of power can the ODB handle.

Im currently running 370bhp and has been running good for just over a year but im thinking to raise it a little more maybe 400-450.

Cheers

500 is about the limit for an open deck safely mate,Jura is running an open deck at 490 without issue.

As above Ryan said,we are running OBD and we are at 490bhp,but as Neil@Slowboy racing said our engine can be pushed up to 550bhp

About the 2.5L,they're have thinner liners than 2.0L OBD,all depends on parts used and on the turbo what you are think to use

As Ryan said be more than safe,SC46 will be good turbo or MDX321T(on yours I would try MDX321V),those two turbos will be mine choice

Both turbo's are similar as MDX321 and will be good on your build,both using same turbine wheel as MDX321 or LM4xx
