hi

i own a 1996 nissan skyline r33 gts-t and i was just wondering how much power can a stock turbo handle?

what mods can i get to make my skyline fast without blowing up the turbo?

i was planin to get a front mount intercooler and a aftermarket computer would the stock turbo handle that?

around 200 - 220kws is all it will take, and not for long!

Mine is at 203kws running at 15 pound right now, I've already got a new turbo though so I don't care if it blows.

It could live on 180kws for a long time, I wouldn't put it past 10psi if you want it to last.

power figures are all depending on other mods as well...

I thought that aswell.... until i saw a bloke have to rebuild his motor because it ingested the busted turbine when it finally blew..

I'll bet you a steak sandwich it wasn't the turbine. Engines don't breath in reverse and any chunk large enough to go back through the manifold after the explosion is not going to have a shit show of getting between the piston and bore

The highest I've seen is 223rwkws and it lasted about 20mins. Mine had 215rwkws on Dr.drift remap using a RB25Neo turbo and it was missing half of the turbine fins when I took it out 3 weeks later.

adrian has made around 270rwkw on the standard turbo

this was with NOS. so i think the question the original poster has, is what boost pressure kills the std turbo

its around 12psi. 12psi is the ok / risk level. it may work fine for years or it may shit a bearing in 20 minutes

ive had mine at 0.85kgcm2 for about 5 years now, got car at 58k and its now got 215k on the clock and still std turbo at 0.85kgcm2

so its luck of the draw

power doesnt kill the turbocharger, excessive heat, shaft speed (from running mega boost) and poor tune (excessive egt's) are what kill the turbocharger

Is that a good idea? What if it fails catastrophically and bits get sucked into the engine?

Edit: Opps I see that was partially answered but still bits of turbine blades all through the 'zaust/cat can't be good, plus also if the compressor side fails couldn't you at least get a load of oil fouling up intake etc

i got my r33 series 2 running on 12psi...175kw atw..but only drove it for about 4 hours on 12psi till my coilpack failed...but im looking at putting a remaped ecu so il be getting around 200kw on my stock turbo, and my tuner said it will be ok.

    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
