Recommended Boost

HI i am new into the whole small liter turbo cars.  I recently bought a 1992 R32 GTR and I am currently running at the stock .5kg boost. I recently met some random guy at a show and he was telling me not to go over that and how he blew his up doing a brakestand.  (I was bouncing off the rev limiter at 1.09kg doing a breakstand just before).  Just to be safe I thought id ask what your opinions are. What boost should i run at?

Stock boost is 0.7bar for your car, slightly above what you've quoted. The most you should be running on your stock setup is 1bar or around 14psi, which is pretty much what you're topping out at now. 

In reality, no one can answer what your recommended boost is as each car is different. How well maintained is it? Do you flog it every chance you get? How many kms? There are so many variables. 

Play it safe, go 0.7 bar or around 10psi. Or go hard and play with fire by going to 1bar. It's really up to you. I would get go past that though. 

 

EDIT: I replied before your second post came up...

It is very clean but alot of smoke on the decel. 165000kms on the clock and the rear crabbs everytime i take a turn at low speed. I have to take out the rear and see if its a spool or the rear is just messed up.  I just set the boost to .7 and the base duty to 32 (honestly idk what base duty is).  Thanks for the help guys.

N1 turbos will run around 20 psi safely. If your car has 427 whp , then the turbos will be running at around that boost level. Dont believe everything random guys at shows tell you. If your car had stock turbos 14 psi would have been the safe limit. As above what is a brakestand? lol

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
