need help with a few thinks

what should the oil level be at the top line of the groove or the top of the H

is 4500-5000rpm safe rev or not for stock gtst r33 with cooler and turbo back

i got this small squil just before i hit boost on turbo side

and is a dyno of 137.5rwkw good for complete stock r33 ser1 gtst with x82xxxxkm with airbox on no exaust no cooler any good or a bit low

A little bit of searching wouldn't go astray... :)

Anyway, here's a little something to get you started.

I own a N/A R33, but for the first two points that's not an issue.

Firstly, the oil level should be at the top of the little cross-hatched section...

Secondly, I regularly hit the 6800RPM limiter... I know it's a lot safer in an NA than a turbo, but if you look around you'll find plenty of evidence that 4500-5000 is nowhere near the limits of these cars.

Thirdly... well squeal from your turbo I can't help you with :(

Fourthly, I'd personally have expected a little better... again about the searching... have a look through this thread and there are a couple of stock figures... e.g. this one... It's a stock R33 GTST with a cat-back exhaust and upgraded fuel pump.. nothing else.

Howdy

So i was sitting on the crapper reading hot 4's when i found this. I thought, mmmmm, maybe this could help you. Apparently these gaskets can cause the sound you hear, maybe check it out. Sorry, this machine refuses to upload the article. Basically, the metal gasket between turbo and exhaust sometimes breaks up or disintegrates coz of agel. It then makes funny sounds at the turbo, like gas escaping at high pressure, or gentle knocking sound. Check yours out, may help you.

I am now going to upload my fist into the computers A-drive and see how it likes it!

Good day to you.

    • Yeah they charge a little extra for mods , last year I noted no mods but I did have an exhaust fitted after that so  better to let them know cause these kinds of things can cause the policy to be void if you ever need to claim.
    • Hello, just just bought an 1999 enr34 with a stock rb25neo and I'm looking to upgrade the engine to 500whp I know some basic things but wondering if there are things I'll need to do to upgrade the stock block and all the bits and pieces to achieve this.
    • Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 馃槄
    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 馃珷    
    • I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha
