The boost isn't a problem if the engine is tuned to handle it. You need the right fuel delivery and timing adjustment to stop the engine destroying itself. This must be set up be a professional. I know of 3 guys who have smoked their engines just playing with the boost alone.

thats on the to do list, get it tuned on the dyno so I am saying that it may have been chipped already but will have to see. I was just worried about pushing the turbo too hard and figured to keep it under 1.1 bar.

but the question really is what kinda boost can I run with the ecu tuned properly.

Cheers Ben

it's a HKS ball bearing turbo. It will probably do 1.7bar easily. HKS turbos are known for having high efficiency ranges, so when it's at 1.5 bar say it works the best. But on a bigger engine you might be trying to put too much exhaust gas through the exhaust housing in the higher revs so the power will drop off.

Give it a go on the dyno... just tune it to what power you want if you have all the support systems to go with it!

When i say whatever power you want i mean that the turbo will allow, a 2510 won't net you 500hp no matter how much boost you screw through it!!!!

Yeah thats good as I can get some more jucie out of it. But as you said I think the key is in the duno and see how things go there. anyone got any suggestions as to where a good place to go is. Silverwater A S, I know are good but maybe a other places would be good just to get some ideas.

Thanks everyone for their input.

      Manual Shifter slightly bounces/moves/vibrates when accelerating/deaccelerating

      Congratulations on your find  Did you mean it has 6k miles or was that a typo? Firstly, keep in mind some movement of the shifter is normal...it is a long rod hanging out of a box bolted to the engine. Having said that there are 2 next places to look: 1. Transmission and engine mounts. If these are worn or broken the shifter will move around more. They are reasonably easy to source and replace on a hoist, and possible but uncomfortable to replace car stands 2. On the bottom of the shifter there is a nylon cup that sits over shifter's ball end. If this is worn or broken the shifter will move around more than it should (but will still shift OK). That is a cheap part and requires removal of centre console, rubber shifter hole covers and a circlip in the gearbox shifter hole to remove the shifter. Re maintenance, as with any new import you should change all the fluids including transmission when you get it; never trust the seller and previous owners to have done the right thing. I am pretty sure R34 GTT is the same as earlier big box transmissions, so use any good quality GL4 75w90 trans fluid if it is shifting well (if it is hard to shift due to synchro wear, redline shockproof lightweight will keep it alive a bit longer before rebuild is required)

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Well considering I have the exact same problem with that as the original one I don't think that the ignitor is the problem. I would imagine that this being such an uncommon problem the possibility of getting a new ignitor that is bad in the same way as the old one has to be very slim. I'll definitely pull everything apart this weekend and check the turbo out. Got quite a bit of things to check out Saturday like fuel pressure and the pcv so I'll report back once I do that.  Thanks everyone for all the replies this is all really helpful

      Rb's have issues with bottom end starvation, not head starvation. Which either way, you probably wouldn't ever see on a dyno. Strange... What's pump gas for you? Octane rating?
