Hi guys,
I dont own a skyline, but have a turbo from a 1996 rb26dett fitted to my car. Im currently running roughly 12psi (at the intake manifold) with boost controlled via a hks external gate.
From what i understand, due to the ceramic wheels, i shouldnt run over 14psi with this turbo.. is this correct?
Is it the amount of pressure (psi) or the airflow that causes the turbo to fail? i think im pushing a decent amount of air due to having 2.5" mandrel bent IC pipes (which have a 4" opening at the tb).
Its just that i read in a recent zoom article that a guy was running like 16 - 17 psi with the stock turbos.
Also, what kind of replacement turbos are out there that are direct fits to the stock flange? i would like something a similar size but more efficent etc..
thanks
