is pumping the stock turbo up to 10psi a bit or a risk? as far as i am aware, 10psi is the absolute max you can push the turbo to (correct me if I am wrong) and i would not want to be driving with a turbo that is stretched to its limits.

Hearsay and conjecture.

Depends on which stock turbo..

25s2 and neo turbos have the nylon compressor wheel which likes to delaminate when leaned on too much.

rb20 turbos, mine took a beating on 14psi for about 6 months before I sold it

25s1 turbos (with steel compressor wheel), mine was on the RB20 @ 12psi for a year and has been on the RB30 @ 12psi for a year aswell. On the 30 it's choking up something chronic (which means it creates excessive heat too) and it still hasn't shat its' exhaust wheel..

hey

i got a manual boost controller but im not sure how to set it. can someone set it for me[was told i need a boost gauge to set it properly] only want it running 10psi

thanks Sunny

sunny i have a spare boost gauge you can borrow if you want

set it all the way down, then 4 clicks up... thats where mine is set, n im running just under 10

which part of 'no clicks' did you not understand?

and 1 turn != 1 psi, get a boost gauge and find out exactly what it is doing, otherwise you might be hunting for an exhaust wheel in your cat.

my RB25 turbo was on 13psi for the 3 years i had the car, plus however long before i bought it, and only gave up when the engine threw a leg out a bed, and presumably crap though the turbo.

Guys guys guys.

NOT ALL RB STOCK TURBOS ARE THE SAME.

RB25 seriesII and RB25Neos can't handle as much boost as the RB20 and RB25 seriesI turbos.

I really wouldn't be pushing a nylon compressor wheeled turbo past 10-12psi.

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
