first off ill start by wishing everyone a happy and safe new years eve. party hard :( .

but what i want to know is, i have a standard s2 r33gtst. it has stock exhaust, intercooler, air intake etc.

on the rev tacho it has the boost gauge which has -7, 0, +7 and a line in between these.

just say im driving and i put my foot flat to the floor where should i expect to see the boost level rise to.

mine goes to the - in between 0 and +7. is this normal for a my car running standard boost or should it be rising more than that.

this is my first skyline so honestly its not something ive really had to pay attention to before.

if someone could let me know wheather this should be ok or not would be great.

cheers all- pete

Bog stock, you'll maybe see +7, but you have to floor it and hold it. Boost starts straight away, but you won't see full boost until the motor winds the turbo up. I'd say boost will begin happening at 2500 and top out at 3500-4000rpm [that long ago since std I'm having trouble remembering].

hhmmm. ok. well if it doesnt reach the +7 mark something would have to be wrong. im not a street demon so i dont give it all it can for aslong as i can but it does get revved out occasionally in 1st and 2nd. it feels as though when it hits 4500rpm or so it gives abit more of a kick but it definetly doesnt go to the +7 mark. if i should be seeing it hit the +7 mark and it isnt what possibly could be the problem. obviously i want it to run as good as its designed to but like i said before its my first skyline so im not quite sure what the stock power should be like.

On stock guage u will only see areading somewhere abouts where u are getting. If it was on +7 on the stock guage then that would mean you are boosting to about 14 psi which is suicide for a stock series 2 turbo! So yeah about half way between 0 and + 7 is about right

Being stock the car will not obtain full boost until after 4000 revs, just behind the air box you will see a small box with air lines and wires going to it, this sets the boost to 5 until 4000 revs then 7 there after. There is a really good step by step procedure in the DIY section to by-pass this and have 7 constant (somthing to do with cutting the black wire and grounding it from memory) or you can just put a manual controller on to adjust the boost pressure, these are cheap as chips and the pick up is noticibly better down low, but you definatly would want to install a good quality boost guage first just to be sure you don't exceed the pressure. I have no idea what is actually the best boost pressure for stock as i have read pleanty of threads ranging from 8 - 12 as being safe but most say 10psi max for the rb25det. Oh and also the guage in the cluster isn't PSI (i think) so I dont think you are supposed to get to 7

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
