Hey Guys (new Act R33 Owner)

[FLAMIN]

Hey guys just brought an R33 GTST it is gun metal grey, GTR boot spoiler, coil overs, 18 in rims (Work Rims) but other than that standard. I was at the museum the other night when yez were there must say you guys have a lot of members.

1 quick question though........as per every other 25 yr old skyline owner i'm wondering what the max psi a stock engine with 98,000kms on it can take with just the standard intercooler ?

I will try and get out to the next cruise you guys do !!

Cheers.......Flamin'

Hi Flamin, did you come up and introduce yourself? Which one were you? (i.e. real first name)

$10 says the one I thought was an off colour purple :-)

The one with a chick in it and no driver.

Possible the one with the resonator coming out at a funny angle.

You probably wouldn't want to run anymore than 12psi. Would be a bit laggy too.

I love gun metal gray. Toughest of all the colours imo. Get some pics up ..

Hi michael.

This is karl's old car!

[leech_]

welcome. I would say 9-10psi for stock as your heavily restricted at the moment with your exhaust, IC and ECU, fix them then 12psi and you will be happy...

Another R33 Gtst in Canberra, wow Jokes...

Welcome.

As for your question, if youre running a stock side mount cooler and stock / near stock exhaust, my advice would be - dont turn the boost up at all.

Get yourself a decent front mount and 3" mandrel turbo back exhaust, then turn the boost up to 12psi (thats about as much as the stock turbo will handle).

If you turn the boost up without doing some inlet and exhaust upgrades you wont be happy with the result and you have more risk of damaging the turbo.

Oh and an oil catch can is a good idea to because if you turn the boost up on a standard turbo they usually start to blow oil through the inlet.

Just my advice, take it or leave it

[Frink]

agreed.... except with the 12psi. i'd say 10psi.

oh and welcome!

[FLAMIN]

Welcome.

When I did the front mount and exhaust, my turbo was naturaly pushing upto 15psi at times which is when the stock computer was cutting out. I never had any problems and that turbo still has no shaft play and no problems. Its probly worse for the engine though.

15psi wont hurt a healthy RB25DET, I run mine everyday on 18psi at the manifold (21 at the turbo) and its a daily driver... I do have an adjustable computer though, so my AFR's arent stock.
