R33 Now With Boost Control And Gauge.. Yay

[KAN33]

Hi Everyone,

I have a 1998 R33 GTS-T 40th Anniversary edition and Over the last 2 daysI have installed a boost gauge and boost T..

The car was modified by the last owner however upon sale he stripped the car and returned it to stock, because the boost solenoid was removed does this mean it would have dropped from the standard 7psi to 5psi (5psi is what the Gauge read upon installation)???

Secondly... Holy duck shit 5 psi makes a HUUUUGGGEEE amount of difference!!

And finally I have the following mods and want to know if 10 - 12 psi is safe to run for now until I further upgrade -

Apexi Pod Filter

Apexi Front Mount Intercooler

Apexi Stainless N1 turbo back exhaust

Walbro 500hp Fuel pump

Boost T currently at 10psi

Think thats about it Can anyone offer me some advice of where I should be headed next with the modifications... I don't want a track weapon just a nice simple streeter with some decent go..

Thanks!

Kane.

12psi is safe buddy. Next mod I'd advise is to get some type of ecu mod. You can get a nistune installed and tuned using a z32 ecu for a bit over 1k. Just remember though, on your stock turbo, the most power you will see atw's is around 200rwkw's. Hope that helps

Trial and error mate.

I found running 10psi was far better than running 12psi.

I also found 10-11 psi better than 12, I start hitting R&R around 12psi.

Do all the mods before you get the ECU stuff done too, otherwise you'll probably just keep going back for more tuning again and again.
