R34 Gt-t Standard Turbo

[stagefumer11]

hahahahahaha

yeah sure why not sydneykid then when you have finished blowing my turbo for me you can come back to my house and f**k my sister.

hahahahahaha

funny guy, but well put i must say. hahahahha

maybe thats why the turbo hasn't blown yet because i dont hold it at 12 or 16 psi for 5 mins straight.  Realisticly when are you going to hold it on boost for that long with normal driving?? unless you are on a dyno or on an autobahn its not going to happen.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

do you really know who sydneykid is ?

I blew mine at 13 psi. Was set to 12 but spiked and blew.

[race_snooze]

this is such and age old debate now,

Can any one tell me the difference between a 34gtt and a 33 gtst turbo???

Because it seems that there a lot of 33's running around on 12psi with supporting modds though and being used hard, eg mine before i bought it it had been used a resonalble amount of the track, now that i have had it, its been to WSID with out so much of a hic.

Now all the research i have done it appears to be when ppl use standard everything expect ecu, then over boost, thats when shit goes wrong

Taken from one of SK's posts

The R34GTT turbo is around 15 rwkw better (260 rwkw versus 275 rwkw) due to its larger turbine cover. The rest is pretty much the same, except the R34GTT turbo has a plastic compressor wheel and the R33GTST has a steel compressor.

Like's been said in this thread, excessive heat is a factor in blowing the stocker. When you're at the drags, you're loading your turbo for 14 sec (well hopefully quicker ) won't build up heat significantly. Out on the track, you're boosting more often, and for extended periods of time. It's conditions like these which are conducive to killing the turbine.

33's i thought most of them were ceramic exst wheel

infected flow

My brother was running up to 16 psi sometimes with his r33gtst which had an r34 turbo put on it. he gave it heaps on full boost and it held together. What are you basing this this 11psi figure on???

hes probably basing it on knowledge and common sense based on the 100's of other people who have been there and done there.

Extended RPM periods @ anything over 10-11psi the turbo will sh|t itself and spit the wheel. Its been tried and proven.

If you dont believe me, or anyone else on this forum i challenge you to let one of us take it for a MANS drive. Not some pissy school girl challenge from the 3 on a tree out front of your local KFC or Macca's

A couple seconds of squirting here and there on 16psi wont damage it too much, but it will over time.

Not that there is any point in running 16psi, it wont make anymore power than it was on 12psi

And thats all from R&D on just about any skyline from any person that has half an idea, not some stupid ego the need to fuel cause 11ty billion psi is cool.

16psi might sound cool to your mates. It does not mean it will do anything for the performance of your car, or aid your performance in bed

cheers

[maccaz_gts25t]

my turbo spikes to 15-16psi from being set at 11-10psi in my gtst hahaha waiting for the day of destruction as we speek

[mad34]

yeah nismoid your sooo cool i wish i could be like you so i could be cool in front of my mates too.

[R31Nismoid]

im not the one running 16psi though my stock turbo...

because it does nothing

Only a week of school holidays to go... thank god

[LouLou]

LoL this is interesting..

so guys just need a few opinions.. im gonna get an EBC in a month or two and i was wondering how much psi you would think is safe to run on my standard turbo.

i have a fmic.. full exhaust and pod and i dont really drive my car hard

[mad34]

hey loulou you should take your turbo off and make it NA bcoz it might blow if you start up the motor.

hahahaha

[LouLou]

LOL yea right

nah seriously guys give me some honest opinions

[E_Lu-SHuN]

yup...my one also let goo when we full launched it ...but instead the comp wheel shieted itself...not the exhaust wheel

[boosted_32]

Every one has there own opinions on how much boost a stock turbo can handle, but there are so many variables that can cause a turbo to destruction for one how many K's the turbo has done, the life the turbo has had, how the person drives there car etc, I have recently brought an S2 R33 turbo for my R32 I took the time to find a turbo that was in really good condition that came off a stock car which had not been boosted therefore I knew the turbo hadn’t been thrashed. Its on my car now and I have been running 13psi all day every day and it hasn’t missed a beat, to be honest I wouldn’t run anymore boost then 13psi but I also don’t think 13psi is over boosting it, however I only ever really hold full boost for more then a couple of minutes when racing people. I also have supporting mods, which helps. I definitely agree that if your car is stock as a rock and your running 12psi+ you are asking for trouble

Also for the person who said all R33 turbos have steel compressor wheels is wrong. Series 2 R33 turbos are the same as R34 turbos and have a nylon compressor wheel.

10-12 psi.

Trackwork - 10psi

Daily driving street - 12psi

nom point running anymore as there wont be any signifigant gain (if at all) running anmore than 12psi due to the turbo and its efficiency range.

haha...makes me laugh, good thread keep it up.

Same; cant understand why ppl's get so shitty at each other; emotions and typed words dont mix!

If you want 'safe' boost then stick to 10psi or under, but you want more? Well, thats your risk! Simple.......... 11psi and it might stuff up, 12psi and it might stuff up, 13, 14, etc etc etc.

& frankly I reckon SK should be getting an apology.....

EDIT - 6000+ very informative posts that have helped a hell of a lot of people, all for free, speaks volumes about the man.

Not taking part in this forum feud; i'll leave you girls fighting...

All I want to know is what supporting mods everyone is talking about (like the entire list). I'm currently running a flat 10psi and it goes really well... my support mods thus far:

Cat Back Exhaust

Hi Flow Panel Filter

Iridium Spark Plugs

Front Mount Intercooler

What else should I be looking at? I'm ultimately looking at putting a new turbo in so I might as well get it all right now~ car is a R34GTT as well.

[Tangles]

Hi mate, Im sort of in the same boat... also wondering what else I should be looking at getting before the car goes to the workshop.

Got a 1997 Nissan Stagea wagon with:

RB25DET (R33 series 2) with a attessa 4wd system similar to the GTR, with standard autoshifter.

Whacked in an immobiliser / alarm and a nice stereo with sub/amps/door speakers etc.

The car has great suspension and the brakes seem strong at this stage. Will upgrade the front discs to dba slotted in the next x-months.

Ive got a full 3inch exhaust system with hiflow cat

There is a k&n pod filter in a custom air surround

2stage Hybrid ebc and a r34 gtt intercooler have been fitted

Apexi SAFC2 is in the car for the tuning,

and going to add very soon:

Apexi (maybe) frount mount intercooler, C-bend style so that the pipes use the standard holes

Apexi SITC for added tuning

Nismo fuel pressure regulator, with new high pressure fuel lines throughout, and will wave the wand over the fuel pump as well.

Got a Z32 AFM ready to go in, along with a RB25 Neo turbocharger and actuator of a low km R34

So should I be looking at gettintg further supporting parts before heading to the workshop to have it all put together and retuned? I'll be keeping it to 10psi.

Plus I dont really have a large budget, once the above parts are finished off and put on the car that'd be 7k spent on the car already, so got to 'cool' off for a while! (got to grab brakes and suspn yet!)

What have I missed that I ought to be shot for? Im new to turbo's so want to make sure the air/fuel/timing is all good, rather than stuffing my engine/turbo.

(Although I shouldnt have, I put my 2c worth in about SK, just 'cause you gotta aplaud those forum members who offer their experience/advice/knowledge etc, 95% of the other members out here have benefitted from that advice!)

Cheers, Brendan

One supporting mod well owrth having is a decent fuel pump. A second hand GTR one is a good cheap upgrade.
