Hi all, not entirely sure on whether this is a mechanical fault or it has jus been tuned really realy conservatively/safely...

No matter how hard i try, i cannot get my BOOST PRESSURE over 5psi...on the boost gauge the needle only points up to 5 but can/should go higher...

i was under the impression that the stock tune was up to 7-10psi....so yeah, i was wondering if u think it may be tuned this way as an 'ultra-safe' tune or what?

also, what can the stock parts handle? 10psi?

was goin to get it all serviced and tunes in the enxt fortnight so if i can have some answers and ideas it would be great!

Cheers

Matt

5psi low, 7psi high (after 4500rpm or so in 3rd gear) is normal. Are you looking at the stock gauge (which doesn't read in PSI on 33) or another gauge? It's possibly the stock boost controller isn't plugged in at all, and the wastegate is connected directly to the intake.

Safe is around 12psi (though you'd probably be hitting R&R by then)

The only way to check out is by using a boost controller and boost it to 7 psi to see if it reaches that....cuz if it doesn't reach then thats a problem...

Dun think R33 should go higher than 7 psi without a front mount I/C...but u can go up to 12 psi safely with a Front mount I/C :P

      Feedback on Carbonetics: R34 GTT cooling panel

      By IM-32-FK · Posted

      @DraftySquash @Duncan he's not talking about the part that sits against the radiator support, he’s talking about the lip that sits towards the front outside of the car. anyway I had a look at other cooling panels and came across this one https://justjap.com/products/carbing-radiator-cooling-panel-plate-nissan-skyline-r34-gt-t?variant=37829684134087&currency=AUD&utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=Advanced feed&utm_content=Carbing Radiator Cooling Panel Plate fits Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T (Coupe)&srsltid=AfmBOoonzPDKqe9NgKi5U0AkFc2XvbXETGmNWvfNcyBT5DUZagMYHg9DZ70 if you take notice it’s the same shape.  well thankfully the justjap listing has a description and it says : - Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T Coupe (M/T -07/2000) this means it’s specifically for a s2. S2’s have different front bars to s1 so that lip with the 3 holes are *probably* mounting points for the s2 bar. im not 100% sure but im almost certain it will still fit a s1 bar

      Everyone is too used to learning from places like HPA "how to tune" and what to expect at what point, rather than being able to see "The computer says I'm in cell with Row = 8, column =4, and I can see my fuel is lean, so lets add more" Everyone wants "real units", which helps for someone picking it up for the first time and seeing how bad the tune is if they're not used to touching it.   However, I think for most of us who want to play with it, you're 100% right, we're only needing to learn about it for OUR CAR. Which makes it great, and we don't need to care what the real values are, we just need to know which cell it is, that's causing the lean or rich point, or that we want more ignition timing or less. But again, everyone wants everything super you beaut and nearly self tuning, with VE maps, and a billion compensations...   Though then there's me over here when I'm doing reverse engineering work just reading data in hex format that most people couldn't work anything out from. Yet I can see what's going on.
