I recently purchased a 92 R32 GTS-t and have spent some money cleaning it up. Now i am keen to add a bit more power to it but i have a few questions since the car has a few aftermarket bits which i'm not 100% sure on just yet as I am new to turbos. So the car has Power FC, RB25 Turbo with 360 degree thrust bearing, Split Fire Coil Packs, 550 cc Deatschwerks Injectors, Stainless Braided Oil Water and Break Lines with Speed Flow fittings , Front mount Intercooler, HKS Turbo Timer with auto meter boost gauge. The previous owner had the boost put up to 13psi and tuned but then took out the manual boost controller (So is that running wastegate pressure?) and had it retuned for 8psi.

Okay so now my questions.

So if I wanted to up the boost would I be able to reinstall the manual boost controller and put it up? (How do I know how much is too much boost when turning it up?)

OR

Would I need to take it in to get retuned before I touch any boost levels?

Also what is a "HKS Turbo timer with AUTO METER BOOST GAUGE" I know what the turbo timer is but what's the auto meter boost gauge?

Thanks for helping me learn guys

If you do decide to get a boost controller, limit yourself to 10-12psi to keep it safe. Then get it tuned if you want more.

This is an Auto Meter Boost Gauge.

So Auto meter is just a brand as such? Yes i have that boost gauge in the car still, I think I might reinstall the boost controller (it's just sitting in the glovebox at the moment haha) and only go up a little bit just to be safe

Yep, Auto Meter is just a brand of Gauges. ^That's the exact one I run in my car.

You should be fine to wack the boost controller back in. Just make sure you stick it in the right hose and keep an eye on how much pressure it's making.

    • @DraftySquash @Duncan he's not talking about the part that sits against the radiator support, he’s talking about the lip that sits towards the front outside of the car. anyway I had a look at other cooling panels and came across this one https://justjap.com/products/carbing-radiator-cooling-panel-plate-nissan-skyline-r34-gt-t?variant=37829684134087&currency=AUD&utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=Advanced feed&utm_content=Carbing Radiator Cooling Panel Plate fits Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T (Coupe)&srsltid=AfmBOoonzPDKqe9NgKi5U0AkFc2XvbXETGmNWvfNcyBT5DUZagMYHg9DZ70 if you take notice it’s the same shape.  well thankfully the justjap listing has a description and it says : - Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T Coupe (M/T -07/2000) this means it’s specifically for a s2. S2’s have different front bars to s1 so that lip with the 3 holes are *probably* mounting points for the s2 bar. im not 100% sure but im almost certain it will still fit a s1 bar       
    • Everyone is too used to learning from places like HPA "how to tune" and what to expect at what point, rather than being able to see "The computer says I'm in cell with Row = 8, column =4, and I can see my fuel is lean, so lets add more" Everyone wants "real units", which helps for someone picking it up for the first time and seeing how bad the tune is if they're not used to touching it.   However, I think for most of us who want to play with it, you're 100% right, we're only needing to learn about it for OUR CAR. Which makes it great, and we don't need to care what the real values are, we just need to know which cell it is, that's causing the lean or rich point, or that we want more ignition timing or less. But again, everyone wants everything super you beaut and nearly self tuning, with VE maps, and a billion compensations...   Though then there's me over here when I'm doing reverse engineering work just reading data in hex format that most people couldn't work anything out from. Yet I can see what's going on.
