Hey there,

just a quick question does anyone know what stock boost is for an R34 GTR? i just got mine and it has a HKS boost controller and im afraid to give the car a good thrashing. So far boost kinda peaks at 1.13-1.15 bar, does that sound right?

oh and also where can i buy an aftermarket panel filter for the stock airbox, like a apexi, HKS or ARC one?

thankyou in advance

hmmm, thanks tez

i dont understand how the turbos cant take more, at 1bar/14.7psi each turbo is only producing 7.3-7.4 psi each which is not that bad, my old s15 i boosted the stock turbo to over 1bar/14-17psi (just on its own)

does anyone have an answer for this???

The S15 runs a T28 garrett

which has steel compressor and exhaust wheels

compared to standard GTR turbos which have ceramic exhaust wheels, and will not take much more than 1 bar

oh and also where can i buy an aftermarket panel filter for the stock airbox, like a apexi, HKS or ARC one?

thankyou in advance

Search for it :). Various forum traders sell the Apexi panel filters.

You can also buy Pipercross or K&N panel filters but they're the oiled type and not legal in Vic :worship:

i dont understand how the turbos cant take more, at 1bar/14.7psi each turbo is only producing 7.3-7.4 psi each

That's not how it works - both turbos are producing 1 bar for each set of 3 cylinders they feed.

so the engine is recieving 29.4psi........i doubt it

No the engine is under whatever the gauge or controller says its under... Mrkotter is correct each turbo produces 1 bar or boost on 3 cylinders, not all of them hence its 1 bar across all six...

please explain further, there is only 1 plenum therefore if each turbo is producing 14.7psi then all the boost pressure will end up in the plenum, how does that work?

and if the gauge is registering just over 1 bar it means that there is a total of 15ish psi entering the engine.

i believe that if the two turbos going into the intercooler are both producing 14.7psi each

They are only producing this off half the air required to run through 6 cylinders, hence having two turbos, each run off 3 cyl each

By having "two lots" of 14.7psi of boost, you are not multiplying it together and gaining 29.4psi

You are just feeding two units of pressurised air into the plenum,

i.e. PSI = pounds square inch yeah??

so if you had 1 inch cubed of 10psi air, and add another inch of 10psi air, you are not getting 20psi

because you now have 2 cubed inches of air, both at 10psi each

make sense??

If there is 1 bar in the plenum then thats how much pressure is against each turbo no matter how many turbos there are.

If you were to try and fill a flat tyre to 30psi with 2x15psi compressors do you think it will happen, I think not, they will reach 15psi (Equal pressure) and stop.

The S15 runs a T28 garrett

which has steel compressor and exhaust wheels

R34 GTR's came with steel exhaust wheels... so boost away :wave:

No!

R34 GTR came with BALL BEARING, ceramic exhaust wheel turbo's.

as someone has said above, the stock boost for an R34 GTR is 1 Bar.

so you seeing 1.1 with exhaust etc would be normal.

the only skyline turbo's with steel wheels are the N1 series of GTR.

The only base model GTR to come with BALL BEARING turbo's was the R34 GTR.

so.. what is stock GTR boost for R34? 1 bar.

Edited by GTST

Factory stock boost on a 34 GTR is .9 bar ( a little more than 33 gtr). Stock 34 gtr turbos on standard and V-specs are ball bearing and ceramic exhaust wheels .

Its up to you on how much boost you run on stock turbos ( if you have stock turbos) but I wouldn't go over 1 bar on them. The problem is if one lets go it could destroy your engine because when it lets go it breaks into a million tiny pieces ( like sand dust) that can be sucked back in to the engine .

If you want to get more power for your stock internal engine just buy a pair of HKS GTSS turbos and a power f/c tune that to 1.1 bar and enjoy it, if you want to track it you will need a better cooling system, radiator and oil cooler and better brakes . The problem then you will run in to is the small amount on oil the RB26 sump holds so you will need sump baffles and maybe a bigger sump ... Where do you stop???? When you get sick of spending money on her?? maybe ???

please explain further, there is only 1 plenum therefore if each turbo is producing 14.7psi then all the boost pressure will end up in the plenum, how does that work?

and if the gauge is registering just over 1 bar it means that there is a total of 15ish psi entering the engine.

Simple fluid mechanics, two units of fluid (in this case oxygen), each at their own pressure when combined do not combine pressure. Therefore 14psi from one turbo and 14psi from another turbo does not equal 28psi, it is still 14psi.

mythbusters ahoy!

from the nissan service manual

Use the air gun to blow compressed air approx A ~ B kgcm2 into the hose and make sure the swing valve controller rod operates.

where

HR32 - A = 0.8 and B = 0.9 kgcm2 which is 0.85kgcm2 (average) which is 12.08 psi

BNR32 A = 0.7 and B = 0.8kgmc2 which is 0.75kgcm2 (average) which is 10.66 psi

ECR33 manual is 385mmhg which is 7.4446 psi

ECR33 auto is 270mmhg which is 5.220 psi

BCNR33 A = 0.79kgcm2 and B = 0.85kgc2m which is 0.82kgcm2 (average) which is 11.6 psi

if someone has the BNR34 workshop manual (not the 15mb version) it will show you the exact specs and which the standard swing valve would operate it

given BNR32 is 0.75kgcm2 and BCNR33 is 0.82kgcm2 which 0.42a/r turbochargers and the BNR34 has 0.53a/r turbochargers (larger) it would be reasonable to assume the stock boost is lower. its probably more like 0.80gkcm2 in stock setup. All of the standard GTR turbochargers are ceramic exhaust wheels (normal & V spec). N1 model has steel wheel (according to my chart) - happy for someone to confirm?

if you want the stock turbocharger specs for GTR you can view them here; http://paulr33.skylinesaustralia.com/docs/gtr-turbochart.htm

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
