hey all

prob a stupid question and been answered a million times b4 but i still wana ask.

my r33 is completely stock apart from catback exhaust, bov and K&N pod

ive read in a few places that in a stock condition, they have a dual stage boost with max at 7psi. but wen i put my foot down, on the stock boost gauge, the needle does not shift past the halfway mark, around 3.5-4 psi.

i dont really understand this so any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks

Jaye

The stock guage on your dash isn't in PSI, it's in mmHg. That +7 reading right at the top is the equivalent of about 1 BAR boost (which is around 14 PSI).

So halfway up the guage is around the 7 PSI mark, which would be correct.

That's my understanding anyway.

Another question - I remember reading somewhere that the stock boost for an R32 GTS-t is 10 PSI. Can anyone tell me if that's in fact true? It sounds high for standard boost.

yep, 10psi is the standard boost on R32s

factory boost is .7 bar thats whats on the dash

R33 factory boost is 7psi, 0.7bar is just over 10psi which is not right

Standard boost in a R33 GTS-t is 5psi untill 4500rpm then changes to 7psi to redline. This is controlled by the ECU and standard boost controller fitted to the car.

Standard boost in a R32 GTS-t is 10psi. I believe this is actuator controlled........without a standard EBC. Happy to be corrected on that.

Another question - I remember reading somewhere that the stock boost for an R32 GTS-t is 10 PSI. Can anyone tell me if that's in fact true? It sounds high for standard boost.

Not high for standard at all.

EVO's run around 19psi standard, dependant on model.

For everyones reference.

1bar = 100kPa (kilopascals) = 14.5PSI (pounds per square inch) = 750mmHg = 0.9869233 Atmosphere's

The stock R33 GTS-t gauge is actually in x100mmHg (millimeters of Mercury).

Therefore, if the highest mark is 700mmHg your halfway mark on the standard gauge is 350mmHG which is equal to 6.77PSI....rounded........ close enough to 7PSI considering the marks on the gauge are only as accurate as the smallest unit which is each quarter, off memory, and that it actually goes just over halfway when at full boost.

So that's basically an expanded version of what I said in the first reply. :) Happy to help auss13.

I didn't realise the EVOs ran such high boost from factory. I was saying that 10 was high in comparison to other Skylines as well as WRXs and such.

WRX's Last I knew ran 14psi? newer models probably vary.

I expanded on yours because the units were incorrect.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
