Hi all, just want to find out how badly will it affect the AFR if you decide to change the boost pressure after the car has been tuned? Mine was tuned at around 11 psi, will it do much damage if it was turned down to say 9psi?

I'm just thinking that I could leave it on 11 psi when driving around the street and turning it down a bit lower when hitting the track. Last track day, I left it as is for the whole day, but was a bit worried about the turbo's lifespan.

Much appreciated

If it is a standard computer that has been """"TUNED"""" lol just lower the boost whenever you like or you can use the most acurate tool of all that controls the throttle and thats your right foot :)

You can turn the boost down safely, but you can't safely run more boost as you don't know if the mapping is rich, lean, retarted or advanced.

Turning down is safe, the ecu uses the air flow meter/map sensor (depends on what system you have) and will reduce the fuel and change timing accordingly.

Just don't turn the boost up!

on an airflow meter ecu boost has zero to do with load and how it affects load axis placement. it is purely based around airflow meter load or airflow coming into the system. going from 12psi to 14psi on the stock turbo for example isnt likely to change anything as there wont be any more airflow increase, or least very minimal as the compressor is out of effiency.

more or less air will affect the load axis placement, thus adjust the final afr results

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
