You will hit limiters/cuts before you boost the turbo that high that it breaks :Oops:

Im fairly certain 14psi is the limit for all of the GTST/GTT series, altho the difference between 12psi and 14 is very little with the standard turbo.

I hit 0.95Bar on my car last nite on the freeway, didnt have any problems at all, and it pulled very hard. But ide never run that boost during the day or anywhere other than the freeway.

If your on the freeway cruising, at night, with a nice intercooler and cold inlet temps, then give 14psi a go, otherwise stick to 12psi

my 02c

Accepted practice is about 12PSI max on standard turbos, but since each turbo is slightly different, it could be more, it could be less :)

I wouldn't go for 14 personally, but I don't have deep pockets to replace something if it goes wrong..

LW.

I am running 15 psi, with a cold air box and good FMIC. My PFC is also tuned to dump a lot of fuel at those boost levels to try and keep the temps in the zaust side of the turbo down.

I think that with a good FMIC and CAB you should be able to run 14 psi if you dont cane the Sh8T out of it all day every day. 14 psi on the track would not go down to good I would think.

Mate stick to 12 - 12.5 you don't want to kill it straight after you got it. Anymore than that with the stock ECU and all sorts of funny things start happening. I had a horror day when I set my AVC-R to .95 bar and did 10 laps of Wakefield. It spat the exhaust/turbo gasket, intercooler hose and the dummy generally.

Hi Driver, R34 GTT 12 psi for 5 laps at Wakefield Park and one ceramic turbine in the cat. :spew: That's with a good intercooler (R33 GTR), good tune (not by me), oil cooler (Earls), POD with good ambient air intake (by me), standard dump with hi flow cat and 3" exhaust (HKS) and a GTR fuel pump. It wasn't being pushed super hard at the time either. I can give similar examples, the HPI R34 did the same thing and I have personally seen 3 X R33 GTST's with the similar results at supposedly "safe" boost limits.

Bottom line, I wouldn't go over 10 psi for any extended periods. :Paranoid:

If you have an intercooler (check), an air filter (check) and a full exhaust (check) then shoudlnt you be running about 11-13psi anyway? Without even touching the wastegate line.... i was on my R32 GTST, though i think they run a lightly harder spring.

Yep only on R32's, R33's and R34's (especially) don't repond as well and have softer wastegte actuator springs. :D

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
