Hi guys

I just got my S2 GTST the other day but im not sure about the boost its running.

On my gauge it says its boosting up to 9.7psi

Can a full exhaust system/pod filter make the car boost higher(cause these are the only performance mods)?

Cheers

Greater flow, so intake an exhaust modifications will give you slight boost increase as siddr20 said.

Later downt he track when you put a cooler on, you may see the boost rise to about 10psi. Its only because there is a greater flow of air, and less effort for the turbo to spool and do its thinking, it makes more boost.

It's perfectly normal.

In a way, it breathes easier, so it can breath more! (boost)

usually after installing a cooler you will notice a small (realitivly insignificant) pressure drop. the turbo outlet pressure may be 10psi but gauges taken from the inlet plenum would be less, 9psi for example. some of the pressure is lost in getting the flow through the cooler and pipes to your engine.

fitting an exhaust will help it to spool up quicker, exhaust coming from you engine is under pressure and being released into the dump pipe through the turbine housing. the bigger exhaust creates a low pressure at this point so the exhaust gasses will speed up, hence your turbo spools up quicker and can maintain a slightly higher rpm. more turbine rpm gives more compressor rpm which gives more boost.

anyway enough rambling, did you know if its the standard wastegate actuator? one of a 32 can bolt on and will produce 10psi.

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
