want more boost

[makaveli]

Hi Peoples,

I was just wonderin if you guy's would know how much is a good price on gettin the boost put up to 11psi from 7?

My mechanic said he would do it for $260, but for some reason I think that price is pritty shit.

ps.... yes Dr_Drift is the man to speak to... i have one of his products on my car at the moment and running 12psi constantly...

one more thing... make sure u get a boost guage.

[makaveli]

hehe tanx for the advice inark, ill make sure i take care of that.

:uh-huh:

How much do you thing it would end up costing to get it boosted?

[WazR32GTSt]

how much (approx) does Dr Drift charge to re-map the stock ECU on an r32 gtst? will it provide a decent increase in aceleration or is it worthless?

[inark]

waz i went from 110rwkw to 142.5rwkw with just a little more boost and his ecu... perfect AFR

[makaveli]

Hey inark, whats the dr drift ecu, is it just the normal one re-mapped by dr-drift?

Also do you think it would be ok to run 11-12psi as i dont have a front mount yet?

Although I heard the factory limitations is 13psi

[meggala]

yeha 11-12 psi is fine I run 1 bar with a r33 turbo and stock cooler

btw the ecu is $300

Just ask him mark! PM is nice.. He's got a performance shop he is setting up.. Not sure how he's going on that and whether its operational yet.. but I have the card at home if you want the contact details.

The amount of boost you want to run all depends on whether you are prepared to buy another turbo if you push it a bit too hard and it goes pop. I'm pushing 13psi on my R33 (with FMIC), but of course that is slightly different to R32.

Its all a bit logarithmic.. on the stock turbo, the higher you wind the boost past about 8psi the less returns you get (e.g. 20% increase in boost won't give necessarily 20% more power).

[makaveli]

Thanks Gordo Ill try and arrange something soon, just gotta get some $$$. If I got a front mount running higher boost would decrease the chance for the turbo to pop ehh???

[predator]

yup...

[makaveli]

cool thanks for the advice guy's

take it easy

[inark]

yeah no FMIC isnt a prob with 12psi... im running that now... the ECU he swaps over also gets rid of all the limiters no more getting to 180 and having the fuel cut hehe

well worth it... i might be selling my FMIC soon...
