hi guys i have a nissan r33, with stock internals. i am looking to upgrade from a t4 turbo to a newer t3t4 version. it can boost as much as 30psi. what i want to know is how much boost can the ENGINE handle, dont worry about anything else.

i have gotten conflicting advice such as i shouldnt boost past the 8psi stock boost. but of course with the aim of greater horsepower, it isnt always possible.

So what is the REAL maximum boost that the engine can take.

thx

maximum boost can be upto about 21psi, but it varies can be less the valve train or usual valve bounce can happen around that limit, its not the boost you should be worried about, its the engine in most cases that should be looked at first, its hard to determine your goals or possible goal without a real mod list of what has been already done to the engine first.

As far as im aware you can run 15psi on a stock engine without damage. I myself run an RB25,which is stock as,apart from a blitz pod filter.I run around 13/14 psi constantly.Had no problems at all,she's been that way for almost a year now.But I'm not a mechanic so i could be wrong about the psi range.I'm pretty sure that if you want more psi you'll have to spend more.If you know what i mean.But anything under the 15 range should be sweet.Once you pass that your gonna want more fuel squirting in her. You probably already know that thou! :P

It's not the pounds, it's the power output you are running.

I'll be running up to 18-20psi depending on how the turbo is performing and that'll be around the 250-rwkws

As long as the turbo is up to it, it's ok.

Some people have up to 300rwkws but i wouldn't recommend it.

Robbo ( i think) had 22psi running thru his R33 using the HKS2535 and it ran fine.

He's since upgraded and most likely got less psi with more power as the turbo can push more air.

You should move the whole conversation from psi to "How much rwkws can my stock engine handle"

...or change it to "how much psi can my (specific) turbo handle"

If it's standard turbo, 12psi is prolly a safe limit. 14psi would be ok too if you don't care how long it lasts but that's about it

Ah... I see.

So the power level will tell you if you need to change internals or not. 270rwkw is supposed to safe apparently.

Is it possible to measure the volume/amount of air that enters the engine? so as to essentially say how much the motor is capable of flowing? eg. X motor can flow Z amount of air/per minute?

thanks for all your responses, i will definitely get an engineer and tuner to check the engine first but i will be aiming for about 20psi.

there are a few examples of posts in here that go off the topic. i just wanted to know how much boost the engine could handle. but u always get that when u ask a question about turbo's.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR REPLIES=FOOD FOR THOUGHT :thumbsup::thumbsup:

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea, that is what I was getting at in my ramblings too. The nismo one actually is a 1.5 way and a 1 way. They don't do a *2* way because a true *2* way would have equal ramp angles. Or is that a true 1.5 way? Realistically I think a "1.5 way" does not actually exist. A diff can either lock in two directions or one. It also doesn't help that a LOT of people in Australia speak about 1.5 way diffs are referring to their 1 way diff.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.
