Hey guys, i have a 33 GTR with a few mods, just wondering what is the safe amount of boost to push the stock turbos to?? Ihave heard 15psi, and someone else told me 20, then another said 25 and everywhere in between, does anyone have any experience with them in testing or has some documentation about this or is it all just speculation so far

12 psi is safe. 15psi would probably go ok for a while but on an older turbo like yours you're likely to see your exhaust wheel explode eventually and end up either inside your cat or as dust inside your engine. End result is you need at least new turbo(s) or a complete rebuild.

Am going to run about 10 normally, but for high setting i was looking for a bit more, only for special occaisions

Hi,

Here are my findings on GTR turbo's

Stock turbo's...new...14psi

Stock turbo's...used...100K on odometer" not suspicious"....12psi

Stock turbo's..used...100K on odometer "suspicious"....no more than 10psi.

After market turbo's... new....14psi and above....depending on tune and state of your motor.

Turbo's should be renewed every 100K so this is why I have stated the above.

Don't push your luck at higher boost levels or it might be fatal to the motor.

Hope I have been of some help.

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
