ok guys ive heard so many different theories on how much boost to run

my car is internally modified forgies, rods, studs rb20

and everyone tells me different things about what boost level's are safe.....

i know a few guys runnin like 22 - 24psi on pump fuel? is this safe?

im only running 19psi cause my mechanic said that anything above this sort of level can be

dangerous on pump fuel

i mean who doesnt wanna run more boost? but how much is too much for everyday thrashing

id even like to know on an internally standard rb20 rb25 ect ect

Wouldn't it depend on the overall tune? i.e. spark advance and fueling at high boost? I believe I'm running 24psi and never had any issues with detonation at any amb /engine temp. It's seriously over fuelled at high boost. Foot down = cloud o fuel out the back.

ok maybe i should have another tuner look at mine just for another oppinion?

only thing is ive got a wolf 3d v5 and everyone tells me that not everyone can tune them right??

anyone know someone that can?

anyway thats why i opened up this topic i want oppinions from everyone

I run my car all the time at 1.65/1.7 Bar everytime i drive it. Dont want to go flat out.... dont be so heavy with your right foot!

And when you need a shit load of grunt to come up, you just have to squeeze... Not go fumbling for some stupid switch/button...

My R33 used to have a dual stage, 6PSi, and 10PSi...

It bugged me if I needed power in a quick instance to duck through a gap, as you had to fumble for the switch, by then, the gap was gone.

In the end I always drove on 10PSi, after that I swapped to a boost controller that only had one boost setting...

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
