Hey guys, just want to know how much boost i can run with my stock r34 gtt turbo. I have a pod filter, 3"exhaust, Front mount intercooler, an soon to have my ecu remapped.

I know the standard boost runs at 5psi to 4500rpm then 7psi to redline (7000rpm). So how much can it go up.

I have heard a general rule of thumb no more than 1bar (14.7psi) due to the turbine being seramic.. but the administrator of skylineowners.com suggests no more than 10psi (.69bar)?

How much are you guys running???

10psi is a decent amount for the stock turbo but the stock turbo is capabale of 13psi with not too many worries try to keep it around 13 or a bit lower. You will need something done with your standard ecu thought to reach that without boost cut etc.

Mine with pritty much the same mods with apexi avcr is on 9 atm but ims till runing standard computer, hopefully not for too lnog though :rolleyes:

with a remap i'd go for an ebc controlled 12psi, all day every day... more will possibly destroy it, and won't really give you any more go...

i ran 1 bar for over a year with a bleed valve when i had a stock turbo (mainly out of curiosity) and it was fine, others blew up on 10psi

well well... since i have posted the topic i have searched for 2 hrs.. forums i couldnt find on here before.. an other skyline/ nissan forums.

sammy, joey, n shenq ur right on de ball... as for the shit stirrer.....

12psi an 11psi seem like the average most ppl run at:

R32 - 14-15psi (only because its a smaller motor)

R33 - 12psi

R34 - 11-12psi

Thanks 4 ur input guys =)

    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
    • You would need to paint your hardtop again though
