Hey there,

Just curious as to what is max boost on a stock R33 Turbo? I'm not looking to run max boost or anything not game enough anyhow, I've put a lot into looking after my 33 so last thing I want to do is trash it, not worth the money in the end - rather look after it :)

I have the following mods:

- K & N Pod Filter

- Cold Air Intake

- Forged Pistons

- Strengthen Conrods

- Blueprinted

- Balanced

- Port Polished

- Metal Head gasket

- Spitfire Coils

- High Performance Timing Belt

- High Performance Spark Plugs

- Gready Turbo Timer

Everything else is stock at the moment including the ECU.

12psi mate, no point risking all that gear, and facing R&R with any more

time for an upgraded turbo :)

Yeah, thats what I thought. 12PSI (0.8bar) would be safe, it's not over the top and gives it a little more power too. I'll probably run 0.7 bar, so around 10psi for now, safe :)

Would the car be getting enough fuel etc to be running up to 12psi? Remember, stock ECU.

Basically want to know if the car will still be getting enough fuel and air running 12psi, since the computer/ECUis stock?

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
