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..

    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)      
    • Thanks buddy. I thought it was a server storage thing. 🤣
    • Perfect! Thanks for this, both look like great options!
