I have a K&N filter and a open downpipe. I was thinking about turning the psi up 14psi. Just for the night. The weater her is pretty cold its getting down to about 40degrees here (in the us). So what do you guys think? will it hold up ok?

I ask this question because im not postive how efficient the stock Intercooler is.

Another thing, i know my car is running rich as hell because at idle, you can smell the damn gas pretty strong coming from the exhust fumes.

5 litre eater.

RB20DET runs 10psi stock from the factory..

you can go to 12 psi no probs ont he standard cooler.

as for 14psi, sure you can run that, but the risk you take is yours.

there are a couple of guys here who have run up to 16 on the standard turbo for years without probs.

there are others who have killed there turbo at 12psi after a few runs..

the standard boost guage is not in PSI

if you look real close, you will see that it measures in HG/100mm or something like that.

Basiaclly, if your stock guage is hitting 7, you are running about 14-15 psi..

Get a boost guage that shows PSI and T it in to the stock boost guage line in the engine bay.

Go for a drive and get the true PSI reading..

OOOhhh, serious???? Well, i've got a PSI guage sitting on my bedroom floor waiting to go in... looks like a definate weekend job then :)

while where on this note, can i unplug the standard boost guage vacum tube bit (in the engine bay against the fire wall) and connect my new guage straight to that or should i leave it connected and use the t piece?

I would agree with the T piece option. i have both running well. Use a metal coat hunger and you can find a gap in the firewall. I have a friend that runs the after market boost gauge tubing through the top of the bonnet and under the rubber seals as he could find a hole in the fire wall. This is an easier way and you can get all the tubing hidden pretty well. Make sure you attach the lights to the PARKERS under the boss kit as you will lose the light from the boost gauge if you put the high beams on if the power wire is attached to your main headlights. I attached the earth wire of the boost gauge to the screws that hold the clutch in place. there are four of them if you take the plastic piece away in front of the glove box.

Anyway those are my tips but I'm sure there are plenty more

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
