i got a 33 turbo on my 32 with rb20det, external gate, screamer, fmic and exhaust,

running 1 bar atm and it seems to be fine, any less and its a slug, i was thinking about changing the springs to run 17ps (1.15bar)

ive run this much with my avcr and it seems fine, any experiences with this much boost?

Its not going to matter what engine its on...the turbo will fail at 17psi and a few hard stabs at the throttle

What a load of crap.

how do you figure that.

the turbo is now on a car that has 500cc less capacity and 0.5:1 less compression.

to produce 17 psi of air flow on the RB20 it spins at a different speed and creates different amount of heat than it would on an RB25.

having said that, I didn't go past 14psi on my RB20 with R33 turbo.

having now said that, since a hiflow from hypergear is now about $800, I wouldn't be too fussed if it popped.

ext gate on a stock turbo - i could think of better things to waste money on :)

But either way, 15-16psi is the absolute limit and the turbo wont last forever.

It's still ceramic, its still going to suffer from heat... which is the killer.

Then you add to the fact you are now spinning the shaft ever faster than RB25 owners (who's turbos generally die 12psi+)... its all asking for a turbo death.

Heat + excessive shaft speed = failure

thanks so much GTST , finally someone who knows what they on about,

i been drifting on 1 bar for a while now and i know its not at max efficiency yet cause when i run 1.1bar i can noticeably feel the difference mid slide, it smokes up a lot more, so i just wanted to see who else has been running 1.15 bar and are ok? to give me a piece of mind, ppl said 1 bar was too much on my rb20 with r33 turbo but it seems absolutley fine

lol its not a waste of money , i got it for next to nothing and it was cheap to weld on :) my car is a slider so gate was a must for me hahahaha

plus when it blows its got an appt with GCG :)

but im not ready for that atm hahahahaha so just doing a bit of homework b4 changing my gate springs tonight :) thanks for your concernthough~! :)

hahaha youre awesome zebra, good to see you like hardstyle so i cant say your 100% a top bloke lolol

try to add something constructive into your posts man im after some info not your jibberish unbacked opinions...

theres aLWAYS one of you tools in every thread.. lurking around lolol

i reckon you can run more boost through a 33 turbs on a rb20 compared to a 25 zebra so im gonna have to disagree with you there buddy :)

Can you explain this for us Nismoid?

Boost is just a measure of the resistance of the head, for the shaft to spin quicker on an RB20 there must be less resistance...

I'm no RB20 expert, but what you're saying is the RB20 head flows better than the RB25 head?

Just keep smashing boost in to you find the limit of the 25 turbo , then fit another n try again

Nice pick of your 33 gts-t there mate :)

Hey mate,

This is a bit of a trial and error excercise for you. As stated above you can run more boost through it cos its an RB20, not as much stress on it as a 25.

1.15 will be fine I reckon. Put a few heat protecting mods like heat wrap or a turbo bag around it to protect it more and i reckon you'll be able to run 1.25-1.3 at drift meets.

PM me if you have any more questions

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
