Hey guys I plan on running a to4 turbo very soon and just wanted to get an idea on safe boost.

How much can I run on stock internals?

I don't plan on running to much but just wanted to get an idea....

I have a 3" turbo back system

Front mount cooler

high flow fuel pump

profecb boost controller

Running 175kw on about 9 pound (stock turbo) aiming for around 200-230

I have seen many of you guys running 1bar+..

My aim is for reliability before power.

Cheers!

Russ

Suck it and see............but probably not! When I upped the specs on my car, the ecu handled it OK, I got more power etc, but it ran rich as all getout. When I changed over to a pfc I went from 200 to 220rwkw and from 200+ to almost 500km to a tank of fuel.

sinistagtst: If the injectors, fuel pump, Z32 AFM and computer is there, and it is being setup on the dyno, what is a safe but higher level of boost to run? You say the car can handle 300RWKW on stock internals, is that just exhaust and cramming more boost in with a FMIC, or is that a ported head/cams etc as well?

I'd like to know what a "safe" high level of boost is on the RB25DET for when I upgrade turbos.

I know theres a guy here in adelaide with 300rwkw with stock bottom end, running a gt3040, tomei cams, pfc, injectors, z32 and the usuals and thats on 18psi. most ppl who are getting 300rwkw out of the stock bottom end are usually on bout 17-18psi and have cams but no porting etc. really the only safe way to know how your goin is to put it on the dyno and just seeing by the A/F ratio. So dont just go wacking 15 or 18 psi straight into your car get it tuned by someone proper and then you can see how much boost etc you can run. :laugh:

So as long as my air/fuel is right it'll be fine..

As the stock ecu,injectors,afm won't let me go very high..

They will max out before the boost gets to high. so start around stock and slowly increase..

without pushing anything to hard..

Cheers!! :unsure:

(really should have come to that conclusion myself) :laugh:

But still how much will there take??

it isn't so much a rate of how much pressure. a bigger turbo can flow more air at a lower pressure, so the pressure it could take is partly determined by the turbo.

if you run that turbo on 14psi, it will be well within the stock motor's capabilities and give you good power.

GOt r33 gtst - Just got Hi-flow turbs - with power fc, fuel reg and walbro pump, intercooler, full exhaust etc - be prepared to do coil packs aswell you will run 10-11psi safely to answer your question - if you do nothing but be prepared to spend $$$'s on fuel cause your a/f is gonna go off the chart. Would recommend if you are going to do it without pfc etc to get a power run done on the dyno just to make sure you will be ok. bout $90 well spent if you ask me.

Best bet is PFC, Fuel Pump, Fuel Reg and definately look at intercooler if not done already.

not really sure on when it started the last thing done to the car was a high flow fuel pump but I didnt think that would have done it..? would'nt the car know that its running rich due to the o2 sensor? or something???

So shouldnt it adjust??

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)

      Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T 1999

      For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.

      Troubleshooting - motor wont turn over

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
