The pressure on the valves is both sides, in and out, the exhaust manifold usually has more pressure then the inlet

Then that also has to do with how old and tired the springs are and what there seat pressure is

Who ever said there was no such thing as a dumb question is a dumbarse :yes:

Yes higher poundage inlet valve springs because you have boost pressure behind the inlet valves acting on the whole area of the backs of the valves . You don't have combustion pressure on the chamber side of them as soon as they close .

More boost means greater heat and pressure and the hot/exhaust side is the half to worry about to avoid reversions and detonation . A dedicated turbocharged race engine has to be reliable when running in a supercharged state for long periods of time . OE road turbo engines are designed to use the "power boost" to get up to speed or climb the odd hill for short periods of time .

Interesting actually , restricted rally engines are often thought to have small compressor sides compared to the turbine side . This is because they are rev limited by the restrictor so have no use for large compressor wheels . The turbines are big in relation to the compressor because they have to have a survivable pressure and heat balance across the engine ie hot side vs cold side .

To make any engine survive a lot of boost for any significant length of time you need to increase the flow capacity of the hot side . Things like porting/exhaust valve size/manifolds/turbos with larger hot sides eg GT3576R/very low restriction hot side .

Actual engine cooling is important because you have to reject more heat developed by higher power outputs . Effective oil cooling / charge cooling / water cooling would be a real good idea .

The burning question is how long do you expect to be using high boost performance ?

^^ This.

Bolt that head down hard with some 625+ or L19's. And don't come crying if something lets go, it's bound to happen eventually. Even a popped cooler pipe makes a great mess at that pressure. :P

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      R33 fuel setup

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
