    Turbo Charger Rpm

    in Forced Induction Performance

    Posted

    why do u wanna know the rpm? it really depends on boost,,more boost = more revolutions+less turbo life. ive heard turbo's can do about 10,000 rpm, but dunno wat boost that is. i think the question u should b asking is how much boost can ur turbo take before blowing up. just do a search, theres lots of info about turbos and thier limits.

    and ive never heard of an rb20dett

    sorry that should be 26dett

    pressure would be about 4psi

    lol, u cant fish tail a fwd buddy.

    that would be your problem.

    by reading the first page or so, id say ur better off deleting your account and trying again.

    The only reason im still hanging in here for advice is because these members probably saved me from making a mistake, 'or a statistic'

    im listening to what people are saying and taking advice readily, otherwise i would have just bought a skyline already and probably been interviewed by aca

    My logic is retarded

    logout and buy a honda

    haven't you been following the thread? thats what ive already got.

    and after a discussion with mum, she wants to sell it and buy a merc. so ill have to make my decision with a car very soon

    dude, buy a POS nissan pulsar or corolla for now (how about a ke70??? still rwd fun, and there getting VERY popular at the moment) can pick one up for $1000-$2000. and there a basic car to work on which will give you good experience for when the skyline comes along. and it wont be a big deal if you crash it (and there will be times when u come close to incidents/crashes, everyone has them)

    chuck some old school jap wheels on there, stiffer springs and it will go til' the cows come home

    u definately have to stage your cars capabilities as you get more experience, otherwise u'll kill yourself

    for example:

    1st- ke70

    2nd- r33 gtst :(

    3rd- r3x gtr/evo

    4th- some feckin off chops thing :devil:

    or an 85 skyline? they're fairly cheap now and still have the retro-ness i love

    No sarcasm.

    You said getting between 2 cars isnt posible unless theyre 120 metres apart because of your Accord's performance.

    Funny you bring up the cliche of Ford and Holdens then link to that forum. Does it HAVE to be a Skyline? or a RWD turbo manual ?

    well id like a skyline because i adore their look, their sound and their performance over reliability

    but ill take someones advice, is to buy a non turbo say R32 or 33 with stock everything

    and as i get more confident as a 'good' driver then ill consider upgrades, then again if a stock skyline is enough power for cruise speeds and metro driving then it wont need to be upgraded

    that or i should buy a ford and put the skyline body on that

    LOL nice one.

    Still you shouldn't be talking about 'doing the odd turn'...it's not big or clever. My advice - drive the accord for a few more years and get some road maturity. Don't become a stat.

    http://www.aussiev8.com.au/questions-boys-...my-licence.html

    there it is!

    So you also want to weave in and out of traffic?

    Mate, why are you driving the family's accord? You havent bought a car yet?

    Trust me, you do NOT want a Skyline as your first car, beause of : the cost, insurance, maintainence, etc

    Im guessing your about 18, you're still on your Ps....even third party insurance for you would be a massive figure - Im also guessing you dont have a decent amount saved up, so you'd need full insurance as long as your paying the car off.

    Just because you did some course, that doesnt mean you are a drift king and weaving in and out of traffic to get to uni in 12 minutes instead of 15 minutes is any safer. Contest with that your choice of driving style, a cop is likely to pull you up and uni will be 25 minutes away instead of 15. Maybe you wont lose alot of traction in it, instead you might thrash the shit out of it and be in need of an engine rebuild.

    Skylines arent cheap, theyre a bitch to insure, especially if your young, registration is higher, then they suck more money out of your wallet (hence full time work or being a part time hooker is about the only way to afford one), and yeah, if you wrap it around a tree, you dont get a refund.

    In your shoes, buying a Skyline has absolutely no pro's at all, its all con's. Can you afford repayments and running costs while you're at uni?

    who said anything about weaving in and out of traffic? im talking about the accord going from stationary to moving (at like a T or + intersection), and if some coot is speeding i cant get out of the way. umm and im sure i can afford the costs with a skyline, otherwise id be going cheap us or chinese cars... :devil:

    and i know making the courses made me a better driver, but not a better 'stunt puller', and i think we've learned through this thread and my past experiences its not th way to go, all be it with a skyline or ford ect...

    the sarcasm is overflowing here.

    It's like that in the US...expensive euro cars like BMW, Audi, Merc have this 'prestige' factor.

    The only thing greater than their prestige is the dent your wallet takes to service or repair them. :(

    Quality cars of course but not my cup of tea.

    aslong as your not doing anything stupid :devil: you wont need to have them repaired or serviced as freequently, i mean my cuz's 535 is old, 91 or something and it serviced every 4-6 months. reliable little bugger with only battery and light changes and i think i radio swap, with about uhh 250,000 clocked in its got another 250 to go :)

    Whats wrong with 350GTs. They are in fact faster than a R33 stock for stock. But it does seem like your attitude towards the skyline is full appreciated. And why are you trying to fish tail a Accord in wet weather and then admitting it on a public forum. As for test driving a nissan skyline, im sure if you went with your parents to a dealer they would be more than happy to give you a ride.

    i dont like the look of the 350s, im after a combination of looks and power (as most people are) and to be honest the new 350gts look like a stuffed up mitsubishi, im talking about the ones without the retro rear lights

    i dont always try, the very first time i ever tried to do it was straight after the TEE, last exam i was done and happier then ever, and just felt on top of the world. on my street i saw a ford pull a fish on the corner and i thought that looks like fun but i couldnt do it. but its not the hooning thing that calls for a skyline, for example in traffic, i cant go between 2 cars (at about 60km/h) if they are less than 120m appart, the car just cant pick up that fast which ads a good 15 mins to trip to and from uni.

    i think everyone / or i have said it the wrong way, im not going to be 100% trashing and/or skidding in my skyline, i respect a nissan SKyl as a performance car more than a trash heap holden, and if i was in the mind set for serious trashing and crap i would seriously just get a holden or ford because - *sigh* - when i do get my first car the whole wave of responsibility will surely arrive, and it pretty much has, sinse about june and now i havent tried to do anything with the accord (because i know it cant) and i know its not my car, and if it was my car i wouldnt be doing it 24/7.

    Take mums accord to a skidpan/driver training event

    ...?

    Profit

    Srsly, even if you dont want to enter one (hell, I take my near stock NA Pulsar along and still manage to have the most fun I ever had with my pants done up) turn up, TALK to some of the owners and watch them on the track. From your OP I would suggest that turning up, asking some questions face to face and (and this is the bit alot of young blokes miss) listen to the replies! and you may just learn somethings, and maybe cadge a ride in one. Asking someone you have never met, over a public forum, to allow a self confessed hoon to ride shotgun isnt gonna work

    i did the advanced courses 1 and 2 (3 months each) on extreme handling (how do deal with break failure, and actually put it in practise, what to do if steering doesnt respond ect..) - in a manual suzuki swift, that was fun..... but im not a junky for the skids. but i would like to find out more about these events? would they be in SAU news?

    that is exactly where you shot yourself in the foot junior..

    well i should elaborate on that, its excelleration is terrible with the traffic and 2 cars thing, the handling is very subborn and (its auto) it changes gears waaaay too early @@@ which is half of it's acceleration issue

    Like ive said many times since the first flame, im not a junky for these things, i just want to get moar experience with skylines in practical, i mean ive been in my cousins car and driven it (to drop off and pick up at the airport), a BMW M535, thats fkn powerful, but the urge to odd skid in that isnt there, and also im to scared to do it. and i guess what i mean about this accord not doing anything is not for the 'hoon' stuff, but more or less a car that can actually drive! hence me a skyline

    Excessive noise does fall into hoon laws, and there has been a law for a while: "undue/unneccesary acceleration" or whatever its called, 3 demerit points ... :P

    wow... ahh i was thinking more a safety issue. but hey if they're gonna get all pissed about noise wait till you live near the leach why truck lane... on a steep hill... my gran lives there dont know how she stands it... ah but shes pretty much deaf :(

    Its all about the STYLE, gentlemen :(

    THATS IT!

    the name nissan and the classic skyline lights (at the rear) is what ive fallen in love with - right from the 80's models when those lights looked sooo retro! love em!

    yeah, ive seen an M325, christ they can fly, and non turbo aswell

    hell i wouldnt mind an M3 myself, but i dont have a spare $59,000 - but even an engine upgrade costs over $25,000 and thats second hand :P

    ayeyeye..

    i think you may be getting the wrong impression

    bottom line is for me, hooning... not so much thanks. can live without cop bait

    i mean - this accord cannot do anything at all. its due time for a new skyline and im a fan of and been interested in skylines... which is most likely why i joined these forums...

    nissan skyline it most likely will be (95% sure) and i would just like to be able to see more skylines...

    simple.

    none of the extra prps hooning stuff

    So why do people buy Porche 911s and Bugatti Veyrons?

    If you want to take a Skyline for a ride simply to see how well it does "just one, PLZ!!??" skid in a corner, no, nobody is going to give you control of $30k worth of God's fine tuned machinery for that purpose, but hey, what would I know ??

    I'm sure somebody on here will let you take their Skyline for a spin.

    Anyone?

    goodness no, as stated first post i dont want to be the one driving, and thats not what im focusing on - im more for performance and reliability ect

    as for the porches and BVs, well its the rich who ride the name further than the car.

    I've got nobody to impress and no skill to push.

    yeh, personal satisfaction . and i sure as hell wouldnt dare do it with a passanger or with other cars around, i couldn't really care much if it was a police car, but if i had lost control and caused an accident, i could be living with more than a dent in my car. and for me its certainly not a show off thing either. owning a performance car comes with its responsibilities and im very aware of them

    but here comes the rant of preference. if none of you guys (speaking on the 99% of nick's behalf) are into, or like trashing, skidding ect... why have you all got nissan skylines? why not just get honda accords like me and my family?

    christ we pulled this off topic

    all i want to know is if its possible to get a ride in / see a few skylines so i know what would be best for me before i blow all my money on one

    *sigh*...

    L/Tc, skids, slide, drift, standing... ect....

    i think your taking me the wrong way (the whole "while im trying to do a fishtail) explanation doesnt mean im trying 24/7, i was just trying to compare the stereotype of what a honda vs skyline would be doing on a road at night. (i gained that stereotype from the skylines i see in OSB park, all trash except a red GTS33.)

    after doing the ADv/C1 and C2 courses i find it fun to handle a car, and, im not/dont see myself trashing, skidding at every turn of my driving. no way.

    i want a perf car so i can do the odd turn, but to my satisfaction. if i wanted to appear like a wanker, with almost no money, a bad attitute and f/a knowledge on perf cars i would have joined the "holden commodore with broken tail light in balga" forums :(
