G'day guys,

I know this is a very repetative topic "whats the max boost I can run?!?" :D

but I've heard that R33 Series 2s have plastic compressor wheels ... and my friend is wondering how much boost he can run :confused:

He only has a catback zorst and the bleed valve :D

Should he just set it at 10-11psi?

Cheers :)

The Nylon Impeller turbos were brought out in the R34's

Regardless though, the weakness is the ceramic turbine

I have a series two and have boosted mine to 13psi, although, i have a very efficiently cooling intercooler (~8degrees above ambient temps) and tuned properly

Running stock intercooler your best bet for your mate is 10psi in which case would most likey be at if he was to get a turbo back exhaust (so there will be no need for bleeding)

dont bother with bleeder valves or such, just tell him to get a dump/front pipe from the turbo and the boost pressure will increase natrually to 10psi

So Soulja, your engine is so inefficient that you have to run 32 psi to make any power. Get a decent engine and turbo and tune it properly so you can make the same power at 20 psi. Just like dinosaurs, big boost is ancient history. Get with the new millennium or you'll be extinct as well.

i doubt he even has a car! :bahaha:

back to topic. i agree with above.

do the full zorst fron turbo back/hi flo cat.

I get 9.5 psi and that's with my huge cooler.

12psi is the max. You can crank it to 13-14 but your turbo is not gonna last very long... curse the ceramic!

I just put a full turbo back system on my 33 ser2 and boost is hitting 10 psi now instead of seven.. An it jut ayers coughing an farting as soon as it hits 10..

Anyone able to tell my how it could have changed my boost pressure an why it's not likin 10 psi?

Other mods being

Walbro fuel pump

Fmic

An have disconnected the 2 stage solenoid by earthing it..

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
