Tooo many haters on here.

Rohan, you just need to be smart about it dude. Decent boost controller and/or bleed valve to make sure it doesnt spike. Heat wrapping or turbo bag to protect from the heat of the turbo. Run good oil and fluids, but most importantly make sure you warm up and cool down your car properly.

You are getting towards the limit of your turbo with 1.3 bar, but if you do the small things there is no reason why you should enjoy many happy hours of drifting.

i think i might leave it @ 1 bar with no boost controller, and then hi flow it later and then put the 17psi spring setup in, to keep everyone here happy lol

on 1 bar it bogs sometimes, on 1.1bar it keeps spinning.. which is why i wanted to try it out... i wanna run boost off the gate thus i sold my boost controller...

Can you explain this for us Nismoid?

Boost is just a measure of the resistance of the head, for the shaft to spin quicker on an RB20 there must be less resistance...

I'm no RB20 expert, but what you're saying is the RB20 head flows better than the RB25 head?

If you have 12psi, do you think the turbo is spinning as fast as when its making 17psi?

Nope.

Kyebidz - a turbo beanie is the worst idea one could suggest, right up there with a Bee-r limiter!

Tthe hotter the housing and turbine wheel - the more prone to failure the exhaust wheel is going to be.

Stunn-R try getting a remap or an aftermarket ECU...

also, I think you're more suited on nissansilvia.

running 17PSI on a R33 Turbo, on a RB20 with stock AFM and stock injectors, you got to be kidding.

Is it me? or are there more nissansilvia kids on the SAU forum, some tool just posted this up "Blanking Off Bov" http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Bl...ov-t279384.html

Nope.

Depends how restrictive the head is?

That was kinda my point.

On the same motor, with the same head, with the same turbo and no change in restriction, then of course 17psi is going to require a faster shaft speed. If you were to port the head without touching the turbo, then you would see the same power with lower boost figures (it's about airflow, not "boost").

Boost is ONLY a measure of head restriction, not a measure of shaft speed. Comparing boost levels on different motors with different heads is pointless when trying to determine shaft speed.

lol johhny its not rohan haha

rohan doesnt have a 32 lol

come to a cruise or pm me your number and you canmeet me! i wanna see how keyboard warrioorrrrrRR you are in person lol

Run it at 18psi :iluvff: I had a series 1 25 turbo and ran it at 18psi for about 8 months and never had an issue with it. Even when I pulled the motor out I had a look at the turbo and it seemed happy.

But, if you cant afford to fix it if it does break, then run 12psi. Be smart about it :D

we got a neo turbo on a 20det . been thrashing it for ages on 14 psi . have had it glowing red after a boost round the hills . it seems to love it . it doesnt glow anywhere near as good as the 20 turbo used to . yeah not much piont in runnin any more on a stock ecu . but yeah your already pushin more yeah . good shit man . need more threads with "do ers " and not the hot air brigade

Well generally people say the RB20 head is about 30% down on the 25 head.

12 + 3.6 = 15.6... 1.5-2.5psi off the target still

So i say higher shaft speed.

So you agree that this statement:

i reckon you can run more boost through a 33 turbs on a rb20 compared to a 25 zebra so im gonna have to disagree with you there buddy :P

is absolute rubbish?

For a while there it seemed like you were trying to tell us that 15psi on an RB20 means higher shaft speed than 15psi on an RB25....

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.

      Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.

      It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.

      Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
