hey guys/girls

i have a R32 gts-t with the stock rb20 in it. Today i bought a boost controller and a auto meter pro oil filled boost gauge also. me and my cousin connected it all up and ran it down the road, and i hit 14 psi, my first intention was that i may have had to boost controller up causing the 14 psi. so we stopped and checked and then did another run and got 13 psi, we got a bit worried that it may be the boost controller. so we went back home removed it and put it back to stock again, did another run and again received 13 psi, finally we thought maybe it was just the boost gauge so we removed that, and installed the one that my cousin was using in he’s car and again we got 13 psi.

I’ve heard that the stock turbo is meant to run 7 psi and 11-12 is safe and 14 is risk area. so I’m worried why my turbo is running 13-14 psi???

Could anyone help me or let me know what it could be.

Thanks

Niran

R32 doesnt run 7psi factory.

Its 10psi (or there abouts)

Are you sure you have a stock actuator?

hey mate.

um oh does it.. nah i havnt checked i have to check tommarow. um would you know then what my turbo's max psi would be .. thanks man

14 psi will be ok for the motor however you are flirting with breaking the turbo, the stock actuator for an r32 is 10psi, you might get a little more if you have exhaust done etc. i would be looking at your guage install make sure that everything is nice and tight and no chance of leaks etc.

hey man

thanks for that, alot of help :banana:. ya i do have a exhuast in the car and a chipped ecu. i think i'll then keep it on the 12-13psi that its already set to so i dont screw up anything..thanks agian man much appreciated.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
