[r33gtstjeff]

hey just wanted to get an opinion of what u think i should an can do to my r33gtst with $2000.00.. has got greddy bov, hks pod, 3'' exaust from dump back an is boosted to 12psi already..! was thinking of frontmount an dump.. uping boost to 15psi.. i can get that done for around $1500.00.. so still got alittle to play with untill such time.. what do u think? dont want to do all that much to it but..!??? should that give me a good power gain..?

[Daz305]

probably wouldnt b a good idea putn the boost up to 15 mate, leave that at 12

yer i think just from adding the dump that itself will add 1-2psi..

[mad082]

adding a dump pipe won't increase the boost unless it is a poor design and doesn't alloy the wastegate to flow properly.

unless you have an aftermarket ecu you won't be able to run 15psi anyway, although you would gain power from doing it, but you may find your turbo doesn't last very long before it goes on a diet (and the exhaust wheel comes off the turbo and makes friends with your catalytic converter)

if a dump pipe is costing you $1500, i really suggest you find a new place to shop unless you get a shag every night for a week from a really hot chick with it. just get a cheap split dump pipe for about $100. i had one on my 33 and it worked fine.

i would also get a fmic kit, especially if you are running 12psi through the stock one. the stock cooler will suffer heat soak after only a few hard accelerations and basically won't be doing much cooling after that.

[R31Nismoid]

up the boost - prepare to spend more than $2,000 replacing the blown turbo.

12psi is the limit

[Duncan]

$2k?

I would spend 600 on a stage 2 advanced driving course and 1400 on a set of track tyres. you've already got everything else you need to go quick in the car

u dont think i need a front mount an dump pipe to give that little extra..?

[zebra]

you "might" gain 5hp on a stockish setup by adding a front mount

[WARLORD BAS]

you do NEED a front mount. as mad082 mentioned earlier that the stock cooler will be suffering from heat soak.

get the dump pipe.

go get a nistune done as well and that will keep you happy for the time being.

yer i think that is the go for sure.. do u think that will give me close to 200rwkw..? thats really all iam aiming for off this car.?

[Pal]

if you only want 200rwkw. dump pipe, safc2, FMIC and tune. do that easy if you fit the FMIC and dump yourself and on 12psi

[gotRICE?]

Sell the BOV and put a stock one back on, use the extra $ for more mods that atually improve the performance

12psi is the limit

does the 12 psi limit apply to hi-flowed turbo's?

[NYTSKY]

does the 12 psi limit apply to hi-flowed turbo's?

No. Your highflow should have steel wheels.

[WARLORD BAS]

im running 16psi through my hi flow and no troubles.

[mad082]

the issue with the stock turbo is the ceramic exhaust wheel. when they are highflowed they usually have a steel wheel put on (as where it sits is made larger so needs a larger wheel). the limit to what you can run then is then down to mods and what pressure it stops making power, but would be well above 15psi
