Hi all, not entirely sure on whether this is a mechanical fault or it has jus been tuned really realy conservatively/safely...

No matter how hard i try, i cannot get my BOOST PRESSURE over 5psi...on the boost gauge the needle only points up to 5 but can/should go higher...

i was under the impression that the stock tune was up to 7-10psi....so yeah, i was wondering if u think it may be tuned this way as an 'ultra-safe' tune or what?

also, what can the stock parts handle? 10psi?

was goin to get it all serviced and tunes in the enxt fortnight so if i can have some answers and ideas it would be great!

Cheers

Matt

5psi low, 7psi high (after 4500rpm or so in 3rd gear) is normal. Are you looking at the stock gauge (which doesn't read in PSI on 33) or another gauge? It's possibly the stock boost controller isn't plugged in at all, and the wastegate is connected directly to the intake.

Safe is around 12psi (though you'd probably be hitting R&R by then)

The only way to check out is by using a boost controller and boost it to 7 psi to see if it reaches that....cuz if it doesn't reach then thats a problem...

Dun think R33 should go higher than 7 psi without a front mount I/C...but u can go up to 12 psi safely with a Front mount I/C :P

    • Hard to find reliable dyno results that help my selection   Thinking G30- 660 twin scroll 1.06   Problem is my current setup isn't imo terrible. This is the genuine flog it at the track tune so there is a few kws in it but pulled for track safety   Non VCT RB25DE home built and has baby 256 Poncams, 60mm throttle body. 90mm exhaust and decent ARC cooler with Emtron KV8 Would like to break 400rwkws on 20psi and want a bit more through the 4,000rpm range. New setup needs to beat attached dyno
    • Hey y'all, had some bad ball joints in my tie rods, so figured i'd just replace both inners and outers.  Went with the high-misalignment system from GKTech. My car's lowered so figured why not. M14 Super Adjustable Inner Tie Rod High misalignment S13 240sx/S14/S15/Skyline tie rod ends (12mm/14mm) Welp, took over a week to get the job done, but finally did. Took it on the maiden voyage today and... - The OE boots do not sit properly on the new inner tie rods - If you look at the photo in the link above, new ITRs are basically threaded all the way through the length of them, so best I could do was tighten the boot down with a screw-down hose clamp onto the ITR's threads. - There is a "whoosh"ing sound every time I turn the steering, seems like it could be coming from the air moving into/out of boots. Concerning, bc it'll likely pull in nasty shit from the outside when I turn... namely thinking of moisture. - Looking at the rack from the back of the car, under it, the left tie rod is straighter than the right. Right droops down a bit. - My alignment is way outta wack, that's expected. Taking it to get an alignment as soon as I can. - The big thing is that the steering isn't really "springing" back like it used to. Wondering if there's something tied to pressurization of the system that I managed to f**k up. This was supposed to be a 20 min job... why doesn't anything ever go right with these cars?
