R32 std boost on Australian delivered car

page EN-23 in workshop manual

"remove the intake manifold canister hose, place a cap on the hose, Connect test hose to intake manifold and attach pressure gauge.

"when engine operation check is performed check the pressure does not rise above 0.8 to 0.9 kg/cm^2 (11-13psi)"

In practice mine runs 8 psi with stock exhaust and 10.5 with a cat back

Hope this is of some help

Cheers Alex

mine ( r33 gtr ) runs 14.5psi with turbo back exhaust on stocc boost solinoid , 4th gear uphill it hold 15 psi . i have an engine manual but it doesnt specify how much boost it should have . it does say at what pressure the actuators should open the wastegate and thats within specs . just wondering why it boosts so high .

8 psi thats a bit low alex , i thought around 12 but r32 may be different to r33 .

My car was a dead stock unit when I brought it in from japan. Stock airbox, exhaust, like it was just from the factory. It was making around 6-7psi, then I added a cat back exhaust and it picked up to about 8psi. I then put in a ebc and ran 12psi on the stock turbo day in and out and I sold it when I upgraded to the td06. The turbo was still in excellent condition, thats about the max boost I would run on a day to day basis on the stock unit.

Would this sound right? on my car i have cat back exuast 3 1/4 inch.. with pod filter and heat shiled..all stock and im getting about .5 bar and then at 5000 rpm it boosts to .7 bar.. so from about 7.4 psi it goes up to about 10 psi at 5000.. is that normal for r33 gtst.. its a 05 model with series 2 engine..

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
