Hey guys just brought an R33 GTST it is gun metal grey, GTR boot spoiler, coil overs, 18 in rims (Work Rims) but other than that standard. I was at the museum the other night when yez were there must say you guys have a lot of members.

1 quick question though........as per every other 25 yr old skyline owner i'm wondering what the max psi a stock engine with 98,000kms on it can take with just the standard intercooler ?

I will try and get out to the next cruise you guys do !!

Cheers.......Flamin'

Hi Flamin, did you come up and introduce yourself? Which one were you? (i.e. real first name)

Another R33 Gtst in Canberra, wow :( Jokes...

Welcome.

As for your question, if youre running a stock side mount cooler and stock / near stock exhaust, my advice would be - dont turn the boost up at all.

Get yourself a decent front mount and 3" mandrel turbo back exhaust, then turn the boost up to 12psi (thats about as much as the stock turbo will handle).

If you turn the boost up without doing some inlet and exhaust upgrades you wont be happy with the result and you have more risk of damaging the turbo.

Oh and an oil catch can is a good idea to because if you turn the boost up on a standard turbo they usually start to blow oil through the inlet.

Just my advice, take it or leave it :)

yeah I own Karl's old car now and yes my name is michael and yes that sounds like me at the museum on friday night with the odd resenator !!

will get pics up asap oh by the way thanks for the advice on boost !!

:D

Welcome.

When I did the front mount and exhaust, my turbo was naturaly pushing upto 15psi at times which is when the stock computer was cutting out. I never had any problems and that turbo still has no shaft play and no problems. Its probly worse for the engine though.

15psi wont hurt a healthy RB25DET, I run mine everyday on 18psi at the manifold (21 at the turbo) and its a daily driver... I do have an adjustable computer though, so my AFR's arent stock. :D

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
