hi

i own a 1996 nissan skyline r33 gts-t and i was just wondering how much power can a stock turbo handle?

what mods can i get to make my skyline fast without blowing up the turbo?

i was planin to get a front mount intercooler and a aftermarket computer would the stock turbo handle that?

around 200 - 220kws is all it will take, and not for long!

Mine is at 203kws running at 15 pound right now, I've already got a new turbo though so I don't care if it blows.

It could live on 180kws for a long time, I wouldn't put it past 10psi if you want it to last.

power figures are all depending on other mods as well...

I thought that aswell.... until i saw a bloke have to rebuild his motor because it ingested the busted turbine when it finally blew..

I'll bet you a steak sandwich it wasn't the turbine. Engines don't breath in reverse and any chunk large enough to go back through the manifold after the explosion is not going to have a shit show of getting between the piston and bore

The highest I've seen is 223rwkws and it lasted about 20mins. Mine had 215rwkws on Dr.drift remap using a RB25Neo turbo and it was missing half of the turbine fins when I took it out 3 weeks later.

adrian has made around 270rwkw on the standard turbo

this was with NOS. so i think the question the original poster has, is what boost pressure kills the std turbo

its around 12psi. 12psi is the ok / risk level. it may work fine for years or it may shit a bearing in 20 minutes

ive had mine at 0.85kgcm2 for about 5 years now, got car at 58k and its now got 215k on the clock and still std turbo at 0.85kgcm2

so its luck of the draw

power doesnt kill the turbocharger, excessive heat, shaft speed (from running mega boost) and poor tune (excessive egt's) are what kill the turbocharger

around 200 - 220kws is all it will take, and not for long!

Is that a good idea? What if it fails catastrophically and bits get sucked into the engine?

Edit: Opps I see that was partially answered but still bits of turbine blades all through the 'zaust/cat can't be good, plus also if the compressor side fails couldn't you at least get a load of oil fouling up intake etc

i got my r33 series 2 running on 12psi...175kw atw..but only drove it for about 4 hours on 12psi till my coilpack failed...but im looking at putting a remaped ecu so il be getting around 200kw on my stock turbo, and my tuner said it will be ok.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
