Guest Robo's Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Currently got a R33 with a full 3 inch exhaust and air pod. Its still running stock boost. Im planning to get some extra boost in her. What sort of gain can i expect? At the moment its lacking down low and mid range.

DREMEN Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Boost is a gift sent from god :D You will love it!!! When I went from stock boost to 11psi I thought all my dreams had come true! It totally changes the feel of your car When I first got my skyline I was a bit disappointed in its performance, but when I dialed up the boost I was really happy Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/21240-getting-boosted-much-gain/#findComment-448523 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTST4G Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 I will have to agree!!! It makes such a difference. I was blown away (almost literally) the first time I increased the boost on my 33. You will love it. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/21240-getting-boosted-much-gain/#findComment-448546 Share on other sites More sharing options...
benm Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 depending on your other mods for me... 7psi = 190rwkw 12psi = 203rwkw So i'd probably expect 10-15rwkw difference.

Guest Robo's Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Excelent, im after any gain i can get, top end is good, but i want some meat in the mid range. Does it pull strong mid range, because at the moment with stock boost it seems to be only strong from 5000 to redline.

Ronin Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 My R32 Stock boost 135rwkw At 1 Bar 166rwkw Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/21240-getting-boosted-much-gain/#findComment-448759 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxx Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 if u get a boost controller, it makes the boost come earily by shut down the waste gate, so u get more power all the way to red line.

CroatianR33 Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 I only just got the car a few days ago and I was giving it on 7 psi then towards the end of the first day I went up to 10-11 psi and boy did it pull!!! BOOST RULZ!! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/21240-getting-boosted-much-gain/#findComment-449339 Share on other sites More sharing options...
king_kw13 Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 yeah it only seems logical to increase boost cos 1) the engine will take it no problems 2) the factory boost setting is quite conservative 3) the stock turbo is able to withstand higher boost (not too high though!!) 4) the stock intercooler should be able to handle round 10-11 psi of boost... i think Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/21240-getting-boosted-much-gain/#findComment-449364 Share on other sites More sharing options...
