it varies depending on so many things with the turbo, like what oil has been through it, has it been regularly been sreviced ( mine was running 15psi with front mount and had no issues).But with that intercooler i agree no more than 10psi.

to be safe id say 10, becuase things go wrong,

and its not a perfect world

i mean why push it to the max if you want to to last

if you want to see how long it will hold up for, run 15 and see what happens

ALSO METAL HEAD GASKETS FTW!

well, if it f**ks up, time for an engine rebuild..........im sure some famous workshops can do their rebuilds properly for less than 15ks.

on the other hand pushing the stock motor too far will only cause you problems, unexpected ones coming from experience.....

so dont wind your boost up too high, dont tune the car too agreesively, dont bolt on a turbo which is too big for the motor to handle....

I upped the boost to 12psi and the ecu was shite!! Missing all over the place and wasn't pretty. New aftermarket ecu and same boost = tons more kw!!! Very happy. Now to find some decent coil packs before I go mad.

Seems every step you take causes something else to reach it's limit.

Firstlly Id run a search as this topic is one of the most common topics covered here at SAU...

Plus id do the search in the forced induction part of the forum as the max psi levels here in QLD are the same as everywhere else...

That aside,

I ran 14psi on a stock turbo but this was with everything else in place and a perfect tune...

I would not suggest it on a stock ecu tho...

I cant remember if its .7 bar or 7 psi standed. but the turbo can run safly without any problem at .9 or 9 psi without ever suffering any problems related to turbo wear and or over heating due to oil temp.

This was an offical release from the nissan motor sports unit where they are made.

You should probly do a google on it but I know 100% that it is within that range that it is totaly safe.

you will need a new ecu, fmic, exhust turbo back + dump pipe, HD cluch, maybe injectors, new fuel pump and mostly 15 psi comfortably a hiflow turbo or a new turbo and a good tune and might pull about 220 to 240 kwrw

Thats the answer i like to hear soon as i get a turbo 33 or 34 depends how much money im willing to for out i will be following your list ive actually copy pasted it and saved it in a note pad file. thx heaps

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day  
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
    • Are you 100% sure this isn't tune related?
    • 140-150 across the board. At this point hoping the grounding harness fixes it. My grounds are all tied to the chassis and none to the battery. For SR and KA that’s never been a problem for me but had a few other guys here and Reddit who told me RB really like a very solid ground setup tied to the battery so going to try that next, I’m stumped if that doesn’t do it. Never had a car have spark and fuel and not fire off before. Only thing I can think is the spark is intermittent/weak because of grounds nothing else really makes sense at this point 
    • I am having close to the same issue. Can you help me with what wire you grounded to get your pump to trigger?
