Need Help Wif My R32

[Marlboro Reds]

hi guys

drive an 89 r32 skyline

running hks evc III SI ebc (internal wastegate)

greddy boost gauge

as i heard 1kg/cm2 = 14psi?

one odd thing i found out was it runs boost at 0.90kg/cm2 which is roughly 12psi?

with the ebc taken out

when i reset the ebc, it reads .84 which is roughly 11.7psi? as the stock boost and would not boost any lower

is it possible to lower the boost possibly back to 7psi?

or are my boost conversions wrong?

any help/advice would be much appreciated

thanks

nope, stock boost on an r32 is that much

if you wanna lower boost, you have to change to a different actuator, r33 runs like 6psi or something

and if you are getting 12psi without the EBC Then thats right, Also really why would you want to drop the PSI its not going to save you any more fuel?

well, cause i thought 7psi was the stock boost for rb20det and

12psi is like the safe max limit for boost

thats why i was a bit worried,

thought running 12psi on a fairly stock r32 will shorten

my engine life, but since you guys say its ok

i guess i have nothing to worry about.

thanks for the reply guys

12psi will be fine providing its not leaning out... The cars are getting old, either drop a new aftermarket fuel pump in it or throw it on the dyno every so often for a check up.
