How Much Boost?

[AshR33Gtst]

Hey guys. I got a full stock r33 gtst and was wondering how much boost I can run stock?

I'm putting a FMIC and exhaust system next week how much boost should I be able to run then?

As I said car is bog stock. I have boost gague and tee.

Also how do I know what boost I should be running without a tune or anything?

Cheers

10psi relatively safely. 11 will likely start to cause you R&R problems. All these cars are unique though, so YMMV. 15 will likely kill the turbo.

10 psi. Is that before or after FMIC & exhaust? Thanks

before/after same shit.. anymore the ECU will just retard timing once the boost comes on...

It's in the plenum.

[AshR33Gtst]

So could run 10 psi full stock thrashing it at the track & drags safely?

Like thousands of other R33s, yes.

The mixtures get pretty rich. So it's sooty and safe.

Probably - its an old turbo could go bang any time or last a few more years.

just buy a premodded R33, makes life so much easier

I should have done that, but I thought building it would be fun.. I lost motivation half way and the car was on jack stands for 2 months.

Yours too!!! Arrhh the life of a well tuned Skhouyloooiiin

AshR33 the big performance improvements come with turbo and ECU upgrades, not just power but usable power!!!
