R32 Gtr Questions

[markimak]

hey sau.

ok i wouldnt normally post such a noobie question but its been egging at me for a while. so

What is the standard boost for a R32 GTR?

what boost am i running according to this gauge.?

(best pic i could get when on boost)

and how do u read the standard gauge?

thanks

Hmmm

the std GTR gauge reads in mm of mercury (no idea why?)

my understanding is that if you hit the 7, that's about 1 bar = ~15psi

by the look of this you are a little under that (~12psi) - is that what you get with the restrictor removed ?

std boost on a GTR is about 7-9 psi - right ?

dont knw mate. i installed a turbotech and was testing the holed and unholed controllers. and im running what it says in the pic so im guessing 12psi aswell.

do gtr run 9psi standard?

std is 7 I think

that looks like more the 7 to me tho

i see u wrxhoon ull give me an answer wont ya buddy..

[markimak]

i have a slight feeling that +7 is 1 bar so im running 12ish pound..?

whats standard on GTR im told 7psi..

[wrxhoon]

Standard boost is about 10psi, thats what that gauge is showing too.

[markimak]

ok so going from my pic wrx hoon im on around 10psi?

Yes it looks to me about 500 ( 350 is the first line and 700 the last ). You can never take the stock gauge fro granted though , get a proper boost gauge.

thanks guys.. ill buy a guage soon...

Same problem but not on gtr on gtst... and mines hitting halfway... a bit above halfway... do you think im running lower boost than normal... 7 pounds is stock.. and im not hitting anywhere near 7... around 4-6 i think

[nisskid]

thats about 500 mmHg, so roughly 9.5psi

[markimak]

GTR can take 14psi right..? thats standards.. wat can N1 items take?

Standard GTR turbos will make more than 14psi ( no worries there ) , the problem is how long for . It wont be long before the exhaust wheel flies off and maybe your engine with it .

N1's , depends on which N1's , there are so many different ones , I had no problem holding 1.4 bar all the way to 8k rpm with the Nismo GT N1's in a R33 GTR with a built engine .

If u punch the numbers into google eg.500 mm Hg to psi you get

500 mm Hg = 9.66838735 pounds per square inch

Its quite handy

[wrxhoon]

Use this for any conversion you want.

thanks fellas.. ur pretty wise with GTR arnt ya WRXhoon.

i suspect my turbos are R32 N1

[nisskid]

as a general rule, 100mmHG (1 x100mmHg) is about 1.9psi, or easier to just think of it as 2 if ur not fussed about accuracy too much.

thanks..
