32 Boost Doesnt Seem To Be Right

hey, i have a R32 gtst type M! The mods are apexi pod filter and and 3" cat back exhaust (i dont know this for sure though when look under car it is obvious that from the cat back the exhaust is larger then cat to turbo!) I just installed a boost gauge and it is reading 10-11PSI in all gears and holds this! My car does not have a boost controller! Is this boost right as i thought it was a bit high! Do type M run a bigger turbo or more boost? Any help would be great!

Cheers,

Tyson

thanks mate, did some searching though eveyone has there own say on 32 boost.....it stock 7PSI....stock 10PSI

One more questions: I have done heaps search on 32 boost and need some advice! I am going to get the rest of my exhaust done so (dump and front and high flow cat) so it will be a full 3" system...the car will prob run about 11PSI then! Should i get a boost controller and up the boost to 12PSI - dont want to go any higher than this, and get a front mount! or buy a 33 or 34 turbo to get more boost?

Cheers

Upping it to 12 won't hurt but the standard turbo gets boring pretty quickly, so buy a cheap boost controller, and crank the psi to 12 after you've put the exhaust on, and run around on that while you save for a better turbo. Standard rb20 turbo @ 12 psi is preeety boring

Yep 12psi is pretty boaring through the rb20's.

I pushed mine to 1bar without issues for a few years before the new motor was dropped in. Old motor was 100% still fine as was the turbo when it came out.

wat mods did you have when you ran it on 1 bar? did you still have stock internals?

also on the stock boost gague in a r32 gtst type-m, the -7 and +7 on the boost gague

does that refur to psi or does +7 mean 0.7 bar or 7pi pr wat? if thry run 10psi stock, why does

the gague only go up to 7?

The car just had a full exhaust, fmic and had boost wound up on the dyno. AFR's showed they were leaning out so a new fuel pump went in. It was then advanced 2 degree's and wasn't pinging on the dyno even though temps were 30degree's.

On the stock guage.. Mine was a little out, with the needle almost ready to topple over the +7 top line that was 15psi.

Have a look at the std guage it tells you the units of measurement used.

+7 is supposed to be around 13.5psi from memory. As I said mine was out a little.

thanks for all the replies! I have to agree, atm the stock rb20 turbo is boring! I will get my exhaust done and up the boost to 12 PSI Should i get an intercooelr after this? (will it give more power) or look at a 33 or 34 turbo?

im not an expert so im not 100% sur ebut i think any increase in boost should warrant a FMIC, even if it isnt totally needed it looks cool and is usefull if you want to go further later on, lots of ppl use turbos from 33's, stock or highflowed, never heard of anyone using from a 34 but dunno if u cant or what...would of thought it weas same turbo as 33, probably just more expensive...

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I mean I can be OCD'y but this is really over the top. At that point why not just run a full wideband fuel controller? Especially if you run 3 widebands. The system works pretty well, which is trimming low load stuff to be within a few percent of the base map. Pre-engine _change_ the base map was only 1-2% off, depending on ambient temp, elevation, etc. Under load the LS is really very straightforward to tune, enough that a wideband closed loop would be overkill. If I really cared (and I hope I don't) I can always just go back to the MAF system the car actually came with. Which does all those nice calculations for me (temp, altitude, etc), now that you can buy 102mm MAF's that do not cause restrictions.

      I'd be installing 2x widebands and using the NB simulation outputs to the ECU.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      Nah, it's different across different engines and as the years went on. R32 era RB20, and hence also RB26, the TPS SWITCH is the idle command. The variable resistor is only for the TCU, as you say. On R33 era RB25 and onwards (but probably not RB26, as they still used the same basic ECU from the R32 era), the idle command is a voltage output of close to 0.45V from the variable resistor.

      It's actually one of the worst bits of Nissan nomenclature (also compounded by wiring diagrams when the TCU is incorporated in ECU, or, ECU has a passthru to a standalone TCU).... the gripe ~ they call it the TPS, but with an A/T it's actually a combined unit ...TPS (throttle position switch) + TPS (throttle position sensor).... ..by the looks of it (and considering car is A/T) you have this unit... https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/2262002u11 The connector on the flying lead coming out of the unit, is the TPS (throttle position sensor) ...only the TCU reads this. The connector on the unit body, is the TPS (throttle position switch) ...ECU reads this. It has 3 possible values -- throttle closed (idle control contact), open (both contacts open, ECU controls engine...'run' mode), and WOT (full throttle contact closed, ECU changes mapping). When the throttle is closed (idle control contact), this activates what the patent describes as the 'anti stall system' ~ this has the ECU keep the engine at idling speed, regardless of additional load/variances (alternator load mostly, along with engine temp), and drives the IACV solenoid with PWM signal to adjust the idle air admittance to do this. This is actually a specific ECCS software mode, that only gets utilized when the idle control contact is closed. When you rotate the TPS unit as shown, you're opening the idle control contact, which puts ECCS into 'run' mode (no idle control), which obviously is a non-sequitur without the engine started/running ; if the buzzing is coming from the IACV solenoid, then likely ECCS is freaking out, and trying to raise engine rpm 'any way it can'...so it's likely pulling the valve wide open....this is prolly what's going on there. The signal from the connector on the flying lead coming out of the unit (for the TCU), should be around 0.4volts with the throttle closed (idle position) ~ although this does effect low throttle shift points if set wrong, the primary purpose here is to tell TCU engine is at idle (no throttle demand), and in response lower the A/T line pressure ... this is often described as how much 'creep' you get with shifter in D at idle. The way the TPS unit is setup (physically), ensures the idle control contact closes with a high margin on the TPSensor signal wire, so you can rotate the unit on the adjustment slots, to achieve 0.4v whilst knowing the idle control contact is definitely closed. The IACV solenoid is powered by battery voltage via a fuse, and ground switched (PWM) by the ECU. When I check them, I typically remove the harness plug, feed the solenoid battery voltage and switch it to ground via a 5watt bulb test probe ; thing should click wide open, and idle rpm should increase... ...that said though, if it starts & idles with the TPS unit disconnected, and it still stalls when it gets up to operating temperature, it won't be the IACV because it's unused, which would infer something else is winking out...
