I am currently running 13psi on mine. I will be getting a tune pretty soon so might bump it up to 14psi, but I'm not willing to push it higher than that. Personally I am pretty stoked at the performance I am getting at 13psi so I don't feel the need to go much higher.

I have killed 2 X R34GTT turbos at 12 psi.

They don't make any more over a genuine 12 psi anyway, they heat soak the air so much you get detonation. So you have to retard the ignition timing and loose all the power you gained.

:) cheers :)

more boost doesnt mean more power

more boost means more power (well airflow) only when you are still in the efficency zone for the compressor wheel. past 12psi as others have said and its off the efficeny zone, so you just dial in more and more heat and it goes bang

90% of all stock turbos will blow at a genuine 15 psi if run there often.

It's not boost alone that makes them blow. It's boost and heat which makes the exhuast wheel delaminate.

Do a seach and see. This topic has been covered a 'few' times before.

Hey there,

So for all you guys that have had the turbo die on you, was the turbo ever subjected to continuous high heat levels, i.e., drifting, track racing, or continuous on/off throttle runs through the gears in short periods of time?

The R34 turbo's must have a small efficiency range if they start to die around 12psi, just seems low to me, and a very quick drop off. You'd be able to verify this on a dyno by looking at inlet temps at various psi.

The R33 turbo on my RB20 does make a fair bit more on the dyno at 1Bar (14.7psi) as opposed to 0.8bar (12psi), but it was on different dyno's, but using the same shootout mode. Inlet temps did not skyrocket either. R33 turbo's seem to be still good at 15ish- psi..... whereas R34's seem to go off at 12.

Also shaft speed can be the killer. So just being on full song for a long long period can make it fail. Have seen a HKS 2530 fail with steel wheel so its possible to kill others also.

Fixxxer....

What power is the R33 turbs making on your Rb20?

Made 229HP@wheels at 0.82bar, held that all the way to redline I'm sure, with a ProfecA.

Think it made 247HP at 1bar, that was with the original owner, not the guy I bought it off. Might have been a few years ago but the graphs in the car.

okay.

So thats 170rwkw at 0.8 bar

and 184rwkw at 1.0 bar.

the R34 Turbo on my car (which is an R34) made 200rwkw on 12 psi (0.8 bar) which is about 270rwHP

The R34 turbos are reasonably good for about 20 rwkw more on average than the R33 turbos due to their ability to flow much more through their exhaust housing.

On an RB25 I wouldn't go over 12psi for the street. I blew mine at 13psi.

On an RB20 1 bar seems safe.

Just thought it would be funny to quote myself.

You can run more boost with any of these turbos if you have them fitted to an RB20.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
