Standard R32 Boost?

stock boost on a rb20 is def 10 psi!!! that is why when people buy rb25 turbos they put the actulator off the rb20 turbo to run 10 psi... def sounds like u have a split in the hose or something like that... or a faulty guage.

I bet if they put the stock exhaust back on it wouldn't run 10psi though.

Stock for an r32 is 100% 10psi.

It sound like the wastegate is stuck closed, or is not opening properly.

As people have said before, check the vacuum hose going to the wastegate actuator to see if it is leaking (or not even there).

hmm, id like to get a definate answer. cause my defi gauge is reading 10psi and ive got a full exhaust and a remapped ecu...i really thought it would have gone up a couple of psi.

i always thought it was 7psi and mine had risen to 10psi cause of the mods...

If the following is correct, does this mean that a standard R32 is quicker than an R33???

10 psi is factory for an R32

7 psi is factory for an R33

not really, the 33 turbo is a bit bigger and more efficient which means it can make more power with less psi. boost isnt the only thing that determines which car is faster. thats on paper though, in reality it mostly comes down to driver

Different capacities, different compression ratios, different cam profiles, turbo efficiencies and different mapping.

And as OLik eluded to, 10psi isn't just 10psi. Pressure is force over an area. Therfore if there is a bigger area, there will be more airflow for a given pressure.

    • There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done. 
    • I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility
    • Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.  
    • so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?
    • That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
