hey, i have a R32 gtst type M! The mods are apexi pod filter and and 3" cat back exhaust (i dont know this for sure though when look under car it is obvious that from the cat back the exhaust is larger then cat to turbo!) I just installed a boost gauge and it is reading 10-11PSI in all gears and holds this! My car does not have a boost controller! Is this boost right as i thought it was a bit high! Do type M run a bigger turbo or more boost? Any help would be great!

Cheers,

Tyson

thanks mate, did some searching though eveyone has there own say on 32 boost.....it stock 7PSI....stock 10PSI

One more questions: I have done heaps search on 32 boost and need some advice! I am going to get the rest of my exhaust done so (dump and front and high flow cat) so it will be a full 3" system...the car will prob run about 11PSI then! Should i get a boost controller and up the boost to 12PSI - dont want to go any higher than this, and get a front mount! or buy a 33 or 34 turbo to get more boost?

Cheers

Upping it to 12 won't hurt but the standard turbo gets boring pretty quickly, so buy a cheap boost controller, and crank the psi to 12 after you've put the exhaust on, and run around on that while you save for a better turbo. Standard rb20 turbo @ 12 psi is preeety boring

Yep 12psi is pretty boaring through the rb20's.

I pushed mine to 1bar without issues for a few years before the new motor was dropped in. Old motor was 100% still fine as was the turbo when it came out.

wat mods did you have when you ran it on 1 bar? did you still have stock internals?

also on the stock boost gague in a r32 gtst type-m, the -7 and +7 on the boost gague

does that refur to psi or does +7 mean 0.7 bar or 7pi pr wat? if thry run 10psi stock, why does

the gague only go up to 7?

Edited by Josh_r32

The car just had a full exhaust, fmic and had boost wound up on the dyno. AFR's showed they were leaning out so a new fuel pump went in. It was then advanced 2 degree's and wasn't pinging on the dyno even though temps were 30degree's.

On the stock guage.. Mine was a little out, with the needle almost ready to topple over the +7 top line that was 15psi.

Have a look at the std guage it tells you the units of measurement used.

+7 is supposed to be around 13.5psi from memory. As I said mine was out a little.

thanks for all the replies! I have to agree, atm the stock rb20 turbo is boring! I will get my exhaust done and up the boost to 12 PSI Should i get an intercooelr after this? (will it give more power) or look at a 33 or 34 turbo?

im not an expert so im not 100% sur ebut i think any increase in boost should warrant a FMIC, even if it isnt totally needed it looks cool and is usefull if you want to go further later on, lots of ppl use turbos from 33's, stock or highflowed, never heard of anyone using from a 34 but dunno if u cant or what...would of thought it weas same turbo as 33, probably just more expensive...

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
