hey guys,

just been wondering, i have the standard boost gauge that is measured in Mmhg. -7 to +7.

few questions.

1. i read somewhere that +7mmhg is equal to about 13Psi, is this right?

2. my skyline only has light mods, and has no boost controller. So i guess its set to 7PSI?

3. does that mean the gauge in my car wont go as far as +7? dont know since i havent tried flooring it.

i dont know much bout this stuff, just learning so please educate me.

cheers,

love u all,

Vish

That's not completely true

The stock gauge is not accurate in its "reading" but the way it measures pressure mmHg is actually one of the best ways because it is self compensating.

I.E it takes into account atmostpheric pressure so you get a true boost reading shame the actual gauge is so crap

Ps yes if you boot it and its stock it should only boost to around 340 to 400mmHg around 7psi or half a bar

however boost can increase via exhaust, down pipes (dump pipes), filters (pods), decat a whole array of things. What you do not want to do it over boost the turbo.

So if i have the following light mods, do you think my boost has increased? coz the car feels a bit quicker than my previous one.

HSK Super Dragger 2 Exhaust

HKS Pod Filter

R32 GTR Wheels

Thanx for the reply guyz

No problem. In terms of things though, you should perform the solenoid mod, http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/HO...ing+stage+boost , to get the most out of your setup. After that, return to a standard airbox intake setup, and get a FMIC, and you should be at around 200RWKW.

i got mine couple of weeks agoo... floooored it all the way hoomee.. best feeeling then

hey just curious on how you get away with driving a turbo on your green P's? did you apply for a permit?

I was thinking about doing that

You have R32 GTR wheels on a R33 GTS-T?

The exhaust will improve the exhaust flow and you car will gain a decent amount of power.

HKS pod filter will give you a few kW's, nothing huge...

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
