Hi Just wondering if anyone could help me out. I have just had an Apexi AVCR installed in my car :P and im running 14psi constantly, I have a 3'' turbo back exhaust, HKS pod, and a Blitz FMIC I havent had it Dyno tuned yet but was wondering what others with similar mods were running and how much can I run all day everyday safely, any help will be appreciated

hhhhmmmmmm.........i've been running 14psi on my RB20 since bought it 6 months ago, haven't had any problems as yet (touchwood!) and not running a FMIC either . Is it true that std RB20 turbos can run a few more psi than RB25. I hope this is the case otherwise I'm gonna wind it down to 10psi.

yeah its only got the factory fmic, the size of a matchbox (well almost), probably good for stock boost, yeah should wind it back to 10psi, will do it tonight. FMIC upgrade is number 1 on my list anyway. :) Feels like I am losing top end power even on full boost though, time for a service and tune, big 100k service! ;)

i got mine dyno tuned, and it was set at max 10psi, but when i checked the ebc and look at the peak boost, it shows 0.86 bar = 12.4...somtimes its at .82 n i think i seen it at .9 b4...i dunno wast going on...any1 know how 2 use a blitz ebc?

What type of blitz ebc?

The SBC or SBC-id?

I used to own an SBC-iD, if setup in auto mode it had to be setup on a dyno other wise it would have a tendancy to spike a little.

Manual mode that uses a plain fixed duty cycle and gain was always rock solid but with the smaller turbo would tend to drop boost at the higher rpm, where as the auto mode would monitor boost levels and adjust duty cycle in order to force it to hold boost.

i seem 2 get diff boost peaks at diff gears....in 1st gearr i went to 5-6k and it peaked at 0.86, then i was doing 60 dropped to 3rd gear and got 2 5-6k and peaked at 0.72 which is a little over 10psi which is what it was set at....also was a cool nite last nite...

My Stagea is currently set at 12psi, with all the supporting mods. I never keep it held on 12psi boost for more than a sec or 2 - its the heat build up that destroys the ceramic exhaust wheel.

Ive got a spare RB25 turbo at home, so not too worried if she shags herself, but I dont think that'll happen due to my 1st comment above.

Talk about being right on the money, I went for cruise the same night after I left my post I and blew my f$%^&n turbo :( !...........Looks like im off the road for a while! What about the irony of reading the responses after blowing the turbo!....

hey i have a standard r33 gtst turbo for $400 :) pm me if interested

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
