XKLABA Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 how long is a piece of string ? I regularly run 19psi but only for very short periods, dyno power run or drags, no burnouts and 15/16psi for the rest of the time including trackdays, but I never do burnouts or powerskids where boost is on full for any length of time and this has been the norm for 10years and two sets of turbos, first set was replaced cause the bearings were gone and the wheels were scraping the housings this is in my 93 model R32 GTR Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/403078-gtr-boost-question/#findComment-6410228 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KURAUN Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 lol @ 20psi from google see how long that last's realistically on ceramic turbo's like Let Me Drive said, get it tuned and see what it can run safely Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/403078-gtr-boost-question/#findComment-6410630 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveyR32 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Best advise get rid of the stranded turbos as if they do blow it will destroy ur engine Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/403078-gtr-boost-question/#findComment-6410744 Share on other sites More sharing options...

R31Nismoid Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 If you want to ensure they do not die (and kill your motor) 14psi = nice and safe, and a good increase over stock. You'll need ECU/exhaust as well to compliment Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/403078-gtr-boost-question/#findComment-6411111 Share on other sites More sharing options...

R31Nismoid Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Unless they are R34 N1 - don't bother with them... You'll regret it as they are rubbish Better off buying a new set of Garrett -7s or -9s Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/403078-gtr-boost-question/#findComment-6411491 Share on other sites More sharing options...
