Hey fellas,

I'd like to up the boost on my Stagea.

From what i've heard, 14psi seems to be the safe limit on the stock turbo, correct?

Who else has increased their boost?

I'm looking at using a manual bleed valve for now. Has anybody got any information or a walkthrough on how to install a boost controller on the VQ25DET?

Also, do our cars have boost cut? If so, when does it kick in?

Thanks boys,

Dimi

Hi Dimi,

14PSI seems to be standard on the AR-X so it is safe for you to run that. Our standard turbo's are probably starting to limits of longevity at 16PSI. If I was you I would stay away from manual bleed valve and go with something like HDI-SBC-D-EVOLUTION (http://www.hybrid-power.com/index.php) or simular......my reasoning behind this is that they will create and hold boost a lot better than a manual one.

Pretty sure the boost cut is 21PSI.....I know when we were pushing the Haltech I put on, we hit it at 21PSI but I have heard of someone else running more PSI with a different piggyback.

By the way if the turbo lets go...which it will....it's a bitch of a job...lol!

Easiest way to increase boost is to install a 3" (or larger) turbo back exhaust :down:

Not only will you up the boost, but have a much nicer sound and a bit more power.

I am not using any boost controller but I can hit 1.3bar whenever I put my foot down.... or at least I could before my damn exhaust manifold started leaking.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.

      Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
