In A R32 Gts-t What Measurements Does The Stock Boost Gauge Read? And What Psi Is Stock Boost In A R32?


Recommended Posts

Got two questions to ask!

In a R32 gts-t what measurements does the stock boost gauge read? (Reads -7 to +7)

Second questions, what psi is stock boost in a R32? Been reading a few threads. some say stock boost is 6psi others say 10psi can someone clarrify?

Apperciate it, cheers

i know the 33 stock boost gauge is in Mmhgx100... 7 = 1 bar = 14.7 psi approx

again, if 32s are like 33s then its 5 psi before 4500rpm, then 7 above...

  • 2 weeks later...

hey i have something to ask about this too - should the needle sit around half way between 0 and -7 at idle? i thought it would sit at 0 but mine doesn't??

stock boost gauge measuers in mmHG or something, it says on the dash cant remember.

Standard boost for a r32 gtst is 10psi.

Once you change exhaust/intercooler the boost will slightly increase to 11psi~

    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
    • You would need to paint your hardtop again though
    • I have an old R32 in the shed that hasnt moved much in the last few years and probably should see the light of day. At one point I had a Nismo 1.5 centre put in the rear diff. It is a clunky nightmare POS of a thing on a good day. To make it less painful the initial torque setting has been put on the minimum (7.0kgf-m, mid is 9.5, high is 14) and the oil changed out to something more slippery. But it is still awful and ruins the vibe of the thing. So my questions are: Given I have the original parts sitting in a box somewhere would it be better to rebuild the thing again, reverting to more purity? Is there a standard kit or do you just go and replace the friction plates etc and shim it the way you like it. How much initial torque does the standard R32 rear diff have? Or does the Nismo disc kit offer a better solution - the caveat being the initial torque for both options appears to be higher than the clunky 1.5 way. There appear to be two Nismo disc kits: 3843S-RS520 for 8kgf-m. 3843S-RS521 for 12kgf-m. Or is the easiest solution to reshim the Nismo diff to make it looser?
