Getting the reading from the stock boost gauge on the dash. Will be putting in a boost gauge after my exhaust i hope.

Bit strange why its not going over 5PSI =(

[Ruxis]

the stock gauges are pretty shit, what air filter have you got on it?? defs recommend a high flow panel filter. same if not more power the a pod filter and its legal

other then a crap reading from the stock gauge, or the car not being able to breath or fart, i got nothing

do you know if its got the stock boost solenoid and all the standard tube setup?

[CLNSKY]

I know that its 100% stock except coil overs + wheels lol.

I have just put in a drift pod and taken out the stock air box to give it a go. Thats all!

I'm resetting my ECU atm so see where that takes me

[Ruxis]

Cool cool. Only other thing I can think of is your solenoid is stuffed, a cheap fix.

Goodluck!

[evil_weevil]

Thinking of getting a water compressor or whatever they are called and a foamer... And give it a good claybar/polish/wax

My plans for the car is of course - zorst - FMIC - Boost controller - Tune . And hopefully be able to leave it at that

hopefully........ hahaha

Cheers

It wont....

I did similar thing

bought mine 100% stock

then pod, then cat back.

was happy for a month.

then turbo back exhaust + FMIC plus boost controller

went well until clutcfh died a week after

then had a fuel cut defender - SHIT.

ended up going to Unigroup where that was removed, other stuff fixed up

new ECU in,

car was great, 195rwkw on 10psi

not long after..

HKS GT-RS turbo, plus this and that (still standard motor) and made 255rwkw

and motorsport got the better of me.

keep it stock hahahahahahaha

no really, keep it stock and buy a second one already modded, it'll cost you the same in the loing run!!

[Ruxis]

very true, im sticking with my 10 pound boost till i get my trade and a house, then its upgrade to a gtr on stage 1 tuning and go go motorsports! :)

[iwanta34gtr]

^ Great plan.

GTR's make my panties drop.

In stock form boost stays at 5psi until 4500rpm then goes to 7psi, completely normal.

High boost solenoid mod is the first thing most people do. If you get a boost controller 10-11psi is as high as you can go before the ECU goes into rich and retard mode.

Word of advice, if you are on a budget just stick to the basic boltons. When you get to the point that you need to upgrade the ECU it starts to get costly.

Also have a clear idea what you want to do with the car BEFORE you start spending money, that way the path you take will become a little bit cheaper.

Hi guys, is it true that i can run approximately 10/11 psi on a 34 gtt intercooler if i swapped mine out?

Looking at maybe getting an exhaust with dual tips and a 34 intercooler so i don't have a huge slab of metal on the front keeping it looking stock =)

I can't afford to get a another one and want to slowly build this one up to a reliable ~ 200kw =D

hopefully 200kw = turbo back + 34gtt intercooler + boost controller and maybe a tune

[NYTSKY]

Stock cooler is fine for 200rwkw, dont really want to get an ECU and tune for 200rwkw either.

Air filter

turbo back exhaust

11psi

You will have near enough 200rwkw.

[oweban]

Yep, 33 GTS-T w turb-back exhaust, admittedly FMIC, but no ECU, AVCR pushing 10psi, 191rwkw

SAFC to go in soon to smooth out the midrange

Are you saying i can run my stock 33 cooler on 11psi with no issues? I always thought to run anything higher than 7psi i'd have to upgrade.

Would it be better to run a 33 or a 34 cooler?

Having a sidemount will be AWESOME to maintain awesome stock looks! and save some $$ =D

Thanks

Colin

[oweban]

what fmic?

[CLNSKY]

Haha not so keen on the mesh on the front of the car to be honest. Does look stealthy but!

[CLNSKY]

Found out my issue about not running 7PSI. Was just my stupidity again. Read the dash properly and its in MMGH or something, and i googled it and got a converter which is saying its approximately 7PSI.

Will be installing a boost gauge asap to get a proper reading!

[Ruxis]

just convert it, why would you want 2 boost gauges? they look very tacky and unnessesary.

watch the road while your boosting not your gauges haha

[D_I_F]

Clean car, Yea I'm in the hills area..

I used to use ELF oils, Filters from repco are fine as long as you have right part numbers

Repco in Dural are normally pretty good.

[CLNSKY]

1 mmhg = 0.0193 psi. Can't do that on the fly haha.

Going to do the solenoid trick this weekend I hope and do the engine oil + oil filter .

Anyone from the hills free on the weekend to have a chat or meetup?

[Ruxis]

But once your boost is set it's set. Just set it up and remember where's it's suppose to go.

[oweban]

1 mmhg = 0.0193 psi. Can't do that on the fly haha.

500mmhg = 10psi roughly

bam

ergo

375 ~ 7.5psi (more like 7.3, but it's a rough quick figure)
