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.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!

      End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall

      A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
