Duncan Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I don't want to be alarmist.....but if you are running 17psi on stock turbos you *will* blow one or both of them sooner or later. And then often little bits of ceramic exhaust wheel make their way into the bores, scoring them like crazy before block oil feeds and causing a bearing to spin. Leaving you with a totally screwed motor and $6k bill. Turn the boost back down to 12-14psi and get high-flowed standard or aftermarket turbos before you turn it up again Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/212583-my-r33-gtr/#findComment-3755901 Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowGTR Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 thanks for the great advice fellow members . i had the boost wound down to 14psi today. my car seems like it go's so slow now. the last thing i needed was blown turbo's or engine i was an owner of a s15,and it used to run 17psi all day long with no problems at all. and it had factory turbo. So i thought the gtr would handle it no problems. . . Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/212583-my-r33-gtr/#findComment-3759628 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-PWR Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Std s15 turbo yeah you will have no probs even getting up to 20psi, but gtr definelty anything over 15psi or even on 15 isnt very good on the turbos and could turn ugly.
