car: 1993 r32gtr.

I am in the process of getting a pair of -7's to replace my stock turbos'

My engine is stock with no modifications apart from exhaust and ecu.

Does anyone know what a safe boost setting is before i start straining out the engine.

My intentions of changing the turbos was so the stock turbos dont suddenly fail and damage my engine

And by replacing the turbos I dont want to boost them that much that i end up blowing the motor.

Any suggestions/experiences greatly appreciated.

cheers

15yr old motor - unknown condition...

16psi which will give you around 280rwkw. Should hold and last nicely.

You can obviously run more, pust more etc but at the end of the day if you cant afford a rebuild then dont dance with the devil

280 is a good figure as you should be able to get away with stock injectors and MAFs. Many guys do the fuel pump as insurance since they're getting long in the tooth. You'll probably need a better clutch depending on what you have now.

Make sure you replace the dumps with something better and the o2 sensors while you're in there doing the turbos. Stock 32 dumps are crap, and in theory the o2 sensors are scheduled for replacement at 40,000kms. The originals may still be working but probably wont for much longer.

Try 280 first and see how you like it. You cant sensibly use that much on the street anyhow.

    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
    • Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.
