0.9 Bar = 13.23 psi

Any tuned, advanced timing, 12.0 : 1 AFRs stock turbo (standard PFC tune style car) is a ticking time bomb.

A stock turbo, on stock computer will last a little longer because you aren't advancing the timing and dropping AFRs which both create heat in the exhaust.

Heat on ceramic exhaust wheel is just asking for a delaminated turbine entering your cat converter.

i was talking to a guy with a 500rwhp r33 skyline who was telling before he built the monster he had that he ran his stock turbo on 18psi for 2 years and it was still perfect when he took it out of the car. He was saying that its all about have the supporting mods to ensure the turbo doesnt deteriorate eg a big exhaust to let the heat exscape fast, Good intercooler, ect ect. I wouldnt want to try it myself but he knows his shit and managed to make it work some how....

this guy u were talkin 2 wudnt happen 2 b from th gold coast would he.

i was talkin a fella there one night with a black r33 with 500hp who gave me th same bllsht spiel. 18psi for two yrs then put it on a rb20 cos it was stil perfect. he's a wanker mate. he told me running leaner would reduce my exhaust temps. the thing he thort was th coolest bout his car was that it stil had th standard head gasket. wanker

ive had my hi boost setting on my boost controller set at 14.5 psi for the past month or so only running that pressure every now and then and it seems fine. but i suppose prolonged use (track use)at this boost level may blow it. My bro also had a brand new r34 turbo put on his s2 r33 he was running 16 psi everynow and then for a year or two and it never blew. he has since upgraded the turbo after it was taken off we carfeully inspected the turbo and it is still perfect to shaft play scoring broken bits etc.

so i guess as long as you arent hammering your car all day everyday at 14-16psi the turbo will be ok for little bursts just to feel what a skyline would be like with a better turbo.

before any of you get all excited and tell me that what i am saying is bullshit. let me tell you that what i have said is actually what i have experienced and am currently doing.

my auto does not like it above 11psi or it pops de to fuel cut i think and if i turn it down on high revs i get a much better power band same mods as usual

rofl thats the one :)

This 14psi = kill turbo thing everyone talks about seems to be a bit of a bell curve if you ask me.

The majarity of them will die round 14psi. Some even die at stock boost and some just seem to take crazy amounts of boost.

Its up to you if you want to run more boost but the risk off it dieing will increase accordingly. You may be lucky and then again.

Also if it does die it could also at a very off chance kill your engine as the ceramic bits from the wheel do wonder to the bore if they get in there if you know what I mean.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
