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...

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
