13.4 second 1/4 for your 'stockish' R33. (A how to guide).

95Sky - the after market BOV will add zero performance to your car.

But if it vents to air it'll help you get a defect notice :P

Stick with the stock one, if you really get keen you can try the BOV mod that is posted on these forums - do a search and you'll find it.

G'day guys,

Just wondering what the max output (kW) I can get out of my R33 GTST without opening up the engine. how much boost will the standard turbo and engine safely cope with using a front mount intercooler and 3 inch exhaust? I do like to drive hard.

The general thought on here is that you can get around 250rwkw safely without opening an RB25. With a thicker head gasket to lower compression you could probably extend this figure to around 290-300 (I have seen just over 300 from an R34 RB25, but I don't know how long it lasted).

there appears to be a "rule of thumb" that 12 psi is the peak for standard intercooler, and 14 psi is the peak for fmic on standard gtst-t ceramic turbs, in order to run with any degree of safety before something goes bang.

that said, I am running 9 psi, and many others are running a lot less than the above quoted figures. Draw from that what you will.

the difference in rwkw between 12 and 14 from gt25t seems to be very little, although there is a significant increase in torque.

expect 250-300rwhp. I cbf working out what that is in rwkw.

also, find the search button cause these sorts of questions have been asked a bazillion times before.

Went to Heathcote today and shaved half a sec off my pb with 13.8312 @ 101.50mph 60ft 2.2039.

Mods since last time are 3" front/dump pipe, pineapples, bleed valve running 0.7bar (~10psi).

I was impressed :)

Just finished reading the threads guys ,great stuff from some who really seem to know there stuff.

Just my bit on BOV I had a Turbo Smart Type 2 fitted to my R34 I could never seem to adjust it correctly and therefore the car ran like a dog.I have since removed it and gone back to the factory one and now the car runs ever so sweet.In fact it would be safe to say the car has never run so well.

on the subject about external bov's.. ( I have one and have been using them since my first turbo car) I have a few good friends with an R32 GTS-T and an R33 GTS-T. one has a blitz and the other has an HKS SQV Bov. Now I dunno if this is common with skyline's, but we have realised that their car's tend to have a habit of suddenly dying while driving normally! the car doesn't backfire, or run shit or anything.. just completely dies while driving.

is that a common issue for skyline's running a full atmo bov? cause the same thing happening to 2 guys in a row is sure as hell weird.

8thSIN - it's possible that the suddenly dying bit is caused by the BOV. Venting BOV's will cause the car to stop/die when you go on boost to off boost at lowish RPM's.

An example would be if you were accelerating at low RPM with a bit of boost, then suddenly come off the accelerator and press the clutch in. If the BOV isn't ajusted right, it will vent the air causing the mixtures to go mega rich which will cause the engine to stall. And with the clutch pressed in it hasn't got the momentum of the car to keep the engine going.

Does that make sense ??

    • That may not be so tricky with a changeover relay (again, with LED indicator only to reduce load on existing headlight + source)  30 to indicator + globe side 86 and 87 to headlight parker + 87a to original indicator + chassis side 85 to chassis/earth repeat on each corner, sorted, no diode required
    • There might have been some "hard core" decalcification going on in the cells to create that noise As for chargers, I stick all our cars on a trickle charger every few months to "clean out their pipes/cells", the Mrs battery in her Mistsu ASX is still running its OEM from new battery 10 years on, and that thing does alot of short drives, and it can sit around for ages without a good long run
    • I'm not sure the diode only will give the desired result. I'd probably approach it with a couple of relays (And you still might need a diode too!). You need to be able to break the constant feed from the headlight to the orange corner globe when the indicator is flashing. Not knowing which Skyline we're talking about specifically here too (And it may not matter, but I don't know the R34 column switches) you'd likely need to rewire the stalk, so that the indicator power itself no longer runs through the stalk too, as now you need it able to trigger a relay that will break the constant supply from the headlights to the indicator, then you'll need a separate relay to trigger the indicators to come on (Replacing the internal action of the indicator stalk).
    • Weird story from me My Toyota 86 was with Commbank comprehensive but for market value (who they use to underwrite is unknown) When I munted it beyond financially viable repair in 2020, rear end smashed in to the point it bent the rear quarter and roof, they knew I paid $31k cash for it because I told them, they still paid me out $38k, as all the 2017 limited edition variants with typical Km and condition were going for between $36-41k, so they did weird math and came up with $38k I never officially mentioned any of the mods that I had done, but as they were not the cause of the crash they were not fussed at all, the insurance inspector actually asked if I wanted to replace all the mods with the OEM stuff if I still had it laying around before they took the car I still came out of it behind though, because I had probably dropped $20k in it with the suspension (bent after the prang), wheels (bent as well) and "other" mods, that the inspector asked about But still, as the market value was higher than what I initially paid, and they paid out market value To say I was surprised with the outcome would be an understatement  Weird, but true, but probably just lucky with the inspector on the day I guess  Sadly, I don't think if I munted the old NC1 MX5 I would get the same result Meh, pay to play
    • Well, the car is back, all straight and shiny, for how long for is anyone's guess  After picking it up we went for a bit of a drive, Jebus I really enjoy driving this little thing, hopefully the weather let's us go for a nice long cruise this weekend as it will be out of my hands for at least a few days next week when it heads back into Mania on Monday It's weird, whilst I do always enjoy going for a drive, the NC makes me feel like a kid who has just got his first car, and they just want to drive wherever and whenever they can I really need to look into the MX5 Club of NSW
