Hi,

I have a R32 with a RB20DET and I want to raise the boost.

Im buying a boost controller and I was wondering how high could i raise the boost? I was hoping that I could raise the boost a bit without buying more parts.

Will I need a bigger fuel pump and other parts or can i just raise the boost??

Any Help would be Great!

It has:

R34 Turbo (running 7psi, stock boost)

3 inch excust system

Front Mount Intercooler

K&N Air Filter

Lighten Flywheel

Thanks!

Matt

Dear Matt,

Firstly, look up Cubez on the members search. He is a expert on the R32. I would suggest the R33 High Flow as it makes a huge difference and to get a electronic boost controller as it holds boost much longer. You can just wind it up yourself and the good thing is these turbo's are cheap at $600 so it is a good risk. Just dont go over the 12 pound mark. But truth being, a dyno tune would really hit the spot and make it all worthwhile.

You definitely need a fuel pump before that. I got a Walbro on mine and picked it up for only about $200. It worked wonders and is alot cheaper than a Bosch 0.40. PM me if you want more info

in answer to your questions in a simplified form...

will i need a fuel pump? yes

how high can i raise the boost (safely)? 12-14psi is ok with that turbo on an rb20

what other parts will i need? a boost controller. the fact that you already have full exhaust / FMIC is great and this is the enxt logical step of modification

good luck,

Warren.

I ran 16psi on mine constantly without a fault, but i could have been lucky...

From memory (which is far from faultless), you should be able to get 200+rwkw from the stock injectors. Even if it was within your fuel pump's limits, i'd get a new one cos the extra stress on the probably 10+yr old pump might end its life prematurely.

The 2 best mods i made on mine were the S2 RB25 turbo, and possibly the best, a chipped ecu afterwards. Its a pretty good street combo after.. Nice power, and hardly any, if any more lag than stock. Good luck!

Changing fuels pumps doesn't affect anything except it's ability to give more fuel up high with more boost.

That said I put a walbro in once and the pressure increased dramatically at low revs making it run too rich. A second hand GTR pump fixed that and is a good cheap upgrade for you too.

Thanks for the info!

I ordered my boost controller yesterday so it should arrive in a few days. I just gotta find a new fuel pump and boost gauge. I was thinking of getting the Bosch 040 fuel pump or a R32 GTR fuel pump. Does it matter if the R32 GTR fuel pumps are 17 years old?

Dragged a R33 last night and owned it :P

Bosch pump will be harder to fit than the GTR pump but one would expect it to be more reliable than an old GTR pump. With the level of mods you have you would benifort greatly from an ECU tune this will iron out any problems the new pump may cause.

17psi will go hard :unsure: But makes ur turbo crap itself... lol

Id leave it at 1bar if your someone who wants occasional drags and doesn't drive the car hard all day everyday. If you are abit like that try 12psi as the turbo will last longer.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
