Hi All,
I have a question on air filter on my skyline and max boost I can run .
it is skyline r34 r25det standard . I know reading around people do say do not run the boost more that 0.85 which is around 11psi on the standard engine .
If I purchase a boost controller can I increase the boost to 11 psi and remove the 2 stage solenoid ?
what bhp should I expect ?
if I run it too high, is the worst case, wastegate opens at 1 bar = 14 psi ?
if turbo is abused would that only fail with nothing else going with it ? what are the symptoms of a tired or failed turbo ?
my filter is one of the cheap cone ones as per the picture below.
I want to replace it with K&N , would k&N which retail at £79 in the UK be good enough for up to 450-500bhp which I want to achieve by changin turbo and manifold in future ?
Also I should mention I have received a large front mounted intercooler with my car so will be planning to install it which I think makes the air denser and cooler.
