R33 Safe Boost Level

[jezza0001]

hey guys im gerald just joined today have no idea how to work this but il give it a shot.

just a question..i have a 1996 r33 series 2 with cat back jasma exhaust,hdi fmic,pod,and just added a nizzmo electronic boost controller.and was just wondering if 12 psi is safe to run with a stock turbo?i have ran it at 12 for the past few days and runs beautiful just making sure cheers.

hey man, depends on if ur turbo/motor is in gd nic, but in my car ive run 14.5psi for ages no probs..depends also how u drive? they say u shouldnt run much over 12 or so with a stocker,but i had no worries ,,,,,,,

wouldn't run anything over 12PSI max on standard turbo - you'll shatter the turbine at more than that, then you'll be asking yourself 'was the extra 1PSI worth it?'

Welcome buddy.. I had a similar question in the past n ppl told me 12 would be the highest u would go stock.. Search the topic and there's heaps of discussions about this.. I found them quite helpful..

yeah that is definatly a possibility,,you do need to take that into account before u do pump it up,,,,

the stock ecu should go into R&R mode aver 10psi, but your physical turbo is generally accepted to be safe up to 12
