Hello,

Running an R33 GTST with stage 1 mods ECU remap front mount intercooler cat back exhaust and induction filter with a tru boost controller.

Just wondering im running it around 12 PSI and in the high revs I see occasional spikes of up to 15PSI but less than one second because it doesn't operate the boost alarm set at 13 psi.

Is this normal or will it harm the standard turbo ?

Cheers for any advice.

Tom

15psi is a little high but only for a split second could just be because the controller its a little slow to react. Even 12 psi will shorten the life span of your turbo, currently i only run 10psi all day and seems to be handling it but you won't know till you check it out.

Quite a few people I think run 12 psi with no problems .. but I been doing some research and I believe if the wastegate actuator feed is moved to the (hot side) straight after the turbo it will reduce the spike greatly ..the front mount intercooler install adds a much longer route for the airflow to the actuator if use the original pipe feed. So will be trying a actuator feed relocation soon to test this out. :)

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      You have (externally anyway) a lot of patience!  At the very least your patience has rewarded you financially even if you decided you were over it!! I only just read your first experience of seeing the car, that would have been amazing!  Well documented too! It must be exciting knowing there's only 10 months left until you can get it on a boat and on it's way!!!???

      Yeah, that's when. I guess you could say I'm as patient as I am foolish(or just a masochist?🤔). I've strongly considered throwing in the towel and calling it all quits many times, and have almost done so. It's a first-world problem for sure, but I've had a pretty rough go of it, as well as other factors; hoping something good comes of all this; it has to. It definitely is half the price of the ATS and performs great, but I'd like to try something different for once. I've sampled the ATS in a friend's 32 and it's solid👍

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
