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.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
