Hey guys,

Sorry if this has been posted before.. i've tried multiple searches but cant find anything..

Just wanted to know whats stock boost for an r32 gtst?

I currently have a slightly modded r32 gtst and would like to know what stock boost is, and also how much the turbo could handle, on a cold night, without turbine failure.. i.e. safely.

Mods include - 3" exhaust (need to check up whether its a turbo back or cat back), pod filter and EBC.

Its currently running .8 bar boost which is about.. 11 - 12 PSI..

Dont run anymore boost unless your going to fit a frount mount. The standard side mount cooler suffers from heat soak and also 11 - 12 PSI is pretty much the limit for a stock turbo i would say say 13 - 14PSI max using the stock turbo and a front mount. Im sure some of the lads here can offer a more detailed answer and more advice.

stock boost for r32 gtsts is 10psi, like everyone above said you should see it spike abit more with aftermarket parts eg, exhaust, airfilter etc etc

mines currently running 13~14 with stock cooler, looking to upgrade to bigger one soon.

I see this topic and its funny to read everyone's posts about stock boost. My stock boost gauge reads about 6 psi and my after market reads around 8psi, yet when i boot it on the guage at the mechanics it shows around 10psi. Most people will say its 10psi although as stated its not good to run it too high for long periods of time with the stock cooler and turbo but then again there are guys out there running in excess of 12-14psi with stock turbo. Just my 2cents

Uhh.. i actually did.. but didnt find anything that applied to me directly.. other people had front mounts etc..

So what about on a cold night? Wouldnt that be like having a front mount already since the air surrounding me is already cold?

To a degree yes but then the biggest problem you have with the difference in ambient temp is the way that you have your car tuned for normal day to day driving. One of my mates has a stock R32 that runs like a dream on a colder night and his older brother who's car is slightly moded runs worst on a cold night. When it comes to stock boost and stock turbo i would stay at 10 mayb 12 psi but not for long periods of time and not for daily driving.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. So I have my GTR on the lift and have been working on it a few days and yesterday I unpacked the frontpipe that was wrapped with heat wrap stuff, because part of it was breaking down and soaked in oil. Noticed that the pipe itself does not actually look like a Mines, despite it supposedly being a Mines. But I could not find any fronpipe online that looks exacly like his, and I don't think it is a custom one. My amateur measurement also showed the two pipes are about equal length, so maybe this is just an old version of the Mines pipe? Would appreciate insight on this by the enlightened folks. greetings from Germany

      Yeah. If I plug the connector in and connect the vacuum lines, I assume worse case scenario is that it simply doesn't work? Yep PFC.

      I would think that rather than attempting to perform an engine swap, with all the difficulties associated with doing so in a country where the raw materials required are harder to get hold of, I would just build the CA20 for boost, find an EFI manifold for it and either add a turbo or a supercharger. Or both. You replace one set of difficulties with a different set, but I know which would be more fun.

      Well, a proper aftermarket ECU** SHOULD be set up to run the purge solenoid, same as the factory ECU would, so that the tank breather system continues to operate the way it is supposed to. I have no knowledge of whether the PFC (which is what I assume you mean when you say Apexi) has an output (and internal logic) to run the purge solenoid. If it does not, then given the product design intent for the PFC, which is to be a plug in replacement for the stock ECU, I would consider that a massive failing on Apexi's behalf and would be another reason to think that they were a half-arsed solution to the problem if programmable management on RBs. I would suggest that since Nistune came to market (which is a LOOOOONG time ago now) there has been no valid argument for choosing a PFC, especially if the PFC can't do things like this.   **ie, Haltach, Link, Motec, etc
