Good Power On Stockish Boost? Possible?

[LatinR33]

Ive been reading around and ive heard of car running stockish boost around 7-8psi with a simple set up (FMIC,EBC etc) and getting alright power. Is this even possible??? If so then what kinda turbo they using cause I wanna know??

[clip14]

depends what you call 'alright power'

[LatinR33]

Im not talking monster figures. Im quiet conservative with my power goals im saying 180 - 190kw at the wheels.

when I had my 32gts4 I dynoed it at 110kw atw (basically stock), but fast enough for me over a twisty mountan pass (and quick enough to keep up with a friend in a gtr - ok mabey he was holding back a bit because he had my girlfriend in the car, but she was still sh!tscared)

[evil_weevil]

with that set up you'd be looking at 140-150rwkw

and majority would be stock turbo

[LatinR33]

well im just really asking if its even possible to have 180kw with low boost using the right equipment?? Just curious. I was reading one the import magazines and it was going on about a consevative way of modding and it said that the point on modifying a turbo would be be trying to the most power out of it using the least amount of boost increase. So hence why I was asking if its even possible to have good numbers with low boost.

I got about 170-175 on 10psi.

10psi is relatively safe.

If you blow a turbo just buy another one for ~$350..

[Nismo_God]

dont know why you would want to buy a new turbo to run 7-8psi.....run the stock turbo with stock boost controller with a decent exhaust, split dump pip,hiflow cat, 3" system, pod should get you to around 170kw.....raise boost to say 10psi which is still safe and you will have what u are looking for......this is alot cheaper then upgrading ur turbo, cause u would have to get an exhaust anyway....my 2 cents....

[benl1981]

Most benefit you'll get is from a fuel adjuster or aftermarket computer. When I raised to 10psi I initially lost power..

[paulr33]

run 12psi, most gtst's go fast enough at this power level usually around 190rwkw

[mesmerized]

i got 188rwkw with hybrid FMIC, HKS pod, turbo back exhaust w/dump pipe on stock boost @ uas dyno day last weekend. apparently i have a 'freak car' :sorcerer:

when i had the boost controller on previously, it ran 202rwkw at 11psi

[Nismo_God]

damn you.....there are others with good figures from light mods

only changes i have made are

turbo back exhaust

just jap fmic

boost controller

202.6rwkw. Hit 11psi 2300rpm, got to 12psi by 4500rpm for a bit and dropped to 10psi by redline....

[hanyou]

i got 182rwkw with my old series 2 33 gtst @ hitman.

full exhaust

front mount

air filter

apexi power fc

040 pump

stock boost (well 9psi cause of the full exhaust)

WTF????? is that all you got?? No aftermarket ECU?? That car must be running rich as hell.

[Nismo_God]

Apparently A/F ratios are good...per guys at UAS on the dyno day....think injectors and fuel pump is next...try to squeeze more out of the stock ecu

[LatinR33]

your kidding thats awesome man!!!! Is that your R33 in the pic doing the monster burn out?? I was under the impression R33 ECU's were the cars weakest link and the first think that needed to go. keeping the stock ecu in your case is mad cause its protected well due to ecu's protection in regards to running rich. Is this common for a boosted R33 running 180-200rwkw to run on a stock ecu well like yours. Or is your R33 some kind of freak of nature!!!

[Nismo_God]

yeah it was at the drags....put on some old stockies and sat there for a bit...

i dont know too much about whats normal, or much about r33 ecu's being new to the scene but it seems to be going good. again not sure what others are running with stock ecu...some guys said i should check if it has been modified or chipped....but i really dont know too much about it....just fiddled with boost controller to set it up and chuckedf it on....

[LatinR33]

Sounds to me your cars just a freak of nature cause I dont think the R33 ecu can be chipped or modded. Thats mad!! Some other guy here I just read got 188kw's on just an exhaust,fuel pump and power fc!!! thats nuts I know Dyno's figures arent exactly accurate but thats still alright Must go good regardless.

[Nismo_God]

mate she goes like a mongrel on heat.....best run 13.3 which was only in 3rd cause i couldnt get it in 4th, wasnt concentrating...so prob a 13.1...at 108mph.....im happy with it...

[jeffworld2]

i had 195 with exhaust and intercooler on 10psi stock turbo. even have the airbox in there. it just happens. maybe its just cars from the south west lol. it was running very rich, but still made a reasonable power curve, with the exception of a massive hole at 6-7krpm. but still 195 lol.

since fitted exhaust cam gear, power fc and a few other jazz and with 12psi got 188 at the uas dyno day lol. put bosch 040 in the other day and will tune it again tomorow and see what i get, before fanging it on the skidpan on saturday
