R34 Gtr Boosting @ 1 Bar

I have read up some threads and seems like the r34gtr's do not have a boost restrictor like how r33 and r32gtr's have on them. Going less than 100% throttle few days ago, I have already boosted up to 1 bar. Does anyone know what is the maximum amount of boost that the r34gtr will boost up to? Since there is no boost restrictor.

The car is completely stock, no ebc or bleed valve installed and have stock actuators. While the general crowd seems to be saying that 1 bar on a r34gtr seems to be still within the safe limits, and people have been running them for quite some time without any problems. I rather be safe than sorry, I would prefer to max it at 0.9 bar. Besides a EBC, are there any other methods I can restrict it to 0.9 bar? Thanks

Cheers

Hey,

I was lucky enough to be taken for a drive in a fairly stocking R34 GTR a few months back. Only mods were cat back exhaust and pods. He was boosting to 1.2 BAR and everything was fine.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Thanks beagle, it does assure me that I am in the safe area.

Just that being nissan, even when everything is stock, it has known to cause damage to the turbo or engine. I was just curious, not that i have a problem with it being standard.

As most people on the forum are suggesting that 12psi seems to be the safety threshold for most standard turbos should be running and anything above is a gamle, and 1 bar is 14.7 psi , i was just wondering earlier if thats okay.

also to note the R34s have different turbochargers, notably the compressors are 0.53a/r instead of 0.42a/r so the airflow comparison is not the same and they probably have different technology in them

No form of boost control (EBC or bleed) will drop the boost pressure below that of the factory setting. Don't worry about it and get back to enjoying something a lot of Skyline owners wish they were doing right now :P

With the current standard cat, another extra rear muffler on a nismo jasma exhaust its already up to 1 bar, if i de-cat it and take off the rear muffler or silencer, would that be near 1.1bar ? Any experiences from 34gtr owners ? If thats the case, i have to stick to the quiet exhaust?

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
