Edited by Jaker34

The R34 turbo is said to only be safe for PSI levels between 10-12PSI - some people blew there's at 10, some have been cruising along with 12 without issues.

A boost controller would be handy; a manual one would suffice but if you have the budget for it, go something electronic from Japan :mellow:

There is a high and low boost mode on the R34GTT from what I can tell... I'm pretty sure it's RPM controlled as well or TPS controlled, not sure which.

Low is 5PSI, and High is 7PSI.

your answer lies in what stan said

ive been running mine at 12psi(.85bar) all the time with no worries at all. But i dont thrash the f*ck out of my car either. The people that blow their turbo's probly give it a hard time constantly.

i believe that these cars were made for modifying!!!! :)

as long as you take care of it :D

    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365.

    • Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
    • Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
