I just prchased a R32 GTS-T completely stock but have put a air intake and a boost controller to 14psi. However the boost controller is installed correctly and the boost reads 14psi when driving but didn't increase the speed or top end much at all.

I've been told the standard turbo is no good for this and a R33 GTS-T is the way to go with a FMIC? I would like to hear any other suggestions for this. PLEASE HELP

I thought R32's had alot more than this but apparently they all are like this.

Maybe for tune is out of whack? Fitting an R33 turbo will be good as the R32 turbos will come apart around the psi you are using. Fitting a front mount will increase the power but i'd be thinking that maybe your car needs a good tune.

Run some injector cleaner through it as the injectors may be abit dirty and will clog up.

Test the compression? Maybe your engine is lacking compression and therefore power

For a start you will need to get the car tuned.. so it will require some device to let you tune it.. just winding the boost up to 14psi and expecting instant power increase is not going to really work.

in my experience, fitting an rb25 turbo will give you bit more mid and top range.. on the street it may actually feel slower, and a bit more laggy at coming on boost.

14psi on a standard R32 i properly wouldn't run the boost that high turbo won't like that much. All depends on what sort of power you are hoping to get out of your car and how deep your pockets are really. I have just finshed building my up i got 210rwkw which i am quiet happy with but it cost a bit as i had to rebuilt my engine as it was shagged. And then it is a matter of bolting all the go fast bits on getting yourself a after market ECU and a good tuner (Don't take short cuts with the tuning most important thing) If you want to know my mods sent as a PM if not good luck with the hunt for power

stock boost is 10psi already so uve only added 4psi but still not worth it on that turbo cause it wont be much better and could cook the ceramic turbine

i always found with the stock turbo it would hit you in the back at about 2500rpm and pull almost the same to the redline - fun for punching at low rpm but no hang on at high rpm :)

should be sweet to run 14psi with a rb25det turbo on the 2ltr and u get some pickup from 3500 onwards :(

      Comfortable replacement seats for R32 GTR

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      As strange as this sounds (as they are fixed back), my Bride Xero CS seats are the most comfortable seats I've used.  I vote go genuine.  The only downside I've found is on very long drives, you can't reposition your body while driving. So even though its comfy, being locked in the same position eventually becomes uncomfortable. I find myself stopping every 3 or so hours to stretch my legs on long drives.

      You don't have to be bored driving a Camry. Not based on the way that a couple of f**king Ubereats/Didi/othersortofmethaddlednightshiftattheservicestationrecentimmmigrants were piloting them on the way to work this morning. f**k me dead!

      FWIW, the Bride reps are really nice to sit in. The only complaint I have, other than the tear in my bolster, is that the velcro used to hold the backrest cushion in place, up under the headrest, is a little obvious and intrusive and could probably be done better. I don't know if that is a "feature" on the genuine ones also though. I haven't looked at a genuine one like the ones I have, only some of the older models. The other thing is, even though I bought the CF ones, I think the CF is really just decorative, over the top of the same FG as the normal seats. And so they really aren't light. Between the solidly built CF/FG seat, the steel frame in the recliner mechanism, and the solid-arse seat rail, they are probably heavier than even the stock seat. They are a serious lift to get in and out of the car.

      Yes, and so the barest minimum power target is the one that makes the most sense. Massive power is fun, but you can only use it for 1.5s at a time, and only every now and then. Medium power levels allow you to enjoy the car far more often and for longer. 500 engine HP is just below 300 rwkW which is about the maximum that is sensible for any street car really. And for a 2.6L six, it will still leave you with a decent boost response and some sort of linearity of power delivery. As you get up towards 400rwkW the onset of power tends to be increasingly like a cliff and you need drag radials to keep the ground in proper contact with the car, and.... it's just not a car for driving around any more.

      I already reached that conclusion myself after reading up a whole bunch and watching various videos from multiple sources. Don't know yet how I'd best manage that with the least amount of headache. Probably pulling the sump and just welding on a AN10 adapter or something. I also think it's healthy to take most opinions with a grain of salt, because experiences differ wildly and especially Aussies - when talking about RBs - don't know a world below 600whp drag builds. Personally I doubt I will ever take my R33 racing, so it's going to be a street car with the occasional spirited drive. Hence why I am (so far) under the impression that I'm going to be fine with a stock-ish engine for a while.
