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.

rob77 was that a gtst, rb25det or gtr , rb26dett ? stock gtrs run a lot more boost like 11 - 12 psi i thought ( thats bog stock ).

mine will hold 15 psi on 4 th gear uphill no probs .

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..

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
