I know people who have run 15psi through there stock ceramic turbo's on rb20dets. One guy i know blew his up after about 20 thousand kays i think.

Another of my mates was running 14 through his and his car ran fine for well over 50 thoudand, iv now got that same turbo for my GTS.

Some people are lucky i guess

tell me to shut up if im wrong but theres heaps of posts iv read in the past saying that stock boost is 6.8psi for the rb20det.

all my mates 32 gts't's read 7psi on there guages when they were stock.

may mate ran 8psi after his 3inch zorst was installed.

hold up you ARE using an aftermarket boost gauge right as opposed to the stock one thats on your dash (which isnt in psi! it reads in 1000mhg or something, 7 being about 14 psi)? 99.9% of topics say 10 psi is stock, and 12 psi is recommend (my boost gauge read at about 10.3 psi)

yeah im using aftermarket boost gauge but the one on my dash only goes to 7psi so thats y i thought 7psi must be stock and ive been told by heaps of ppl that they come out with 7psi stock but im prob wrong.

hmmmm, .55 bar is 7.9750000000000005 psi if u wana be exact :yes:

The stock boost gauge isnt in psi! its in some other reading, have a close look at it and itll say something like X1000mhg. At 7 on the gauge it would add up to about 14 psi, but as these things only boost 10 psi stock its rather innacurate (under full throttle mine jumps all the way to 7 which would seem to imply i was running 14 psi stock)

I thought the same thing.

    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
