Hey fellas,

I'd like to up the boost on my Stagea.

From what i've heard, 14psi seems to be the safe limit on the stock turbo, correct?

Who else has increased their boost?

I'm looking at using a manual bleed valve for now. Has anybody got any information or a walkthrough on how to install a boost controller on the VQ25DET?

Also, do our cars have boost cut? If so, when does it kick in?

Thanks boys,

Dimi

Hi Dimi,

14PSI seems to be standard on the AR-X so it is safe for you to run that. Our standard turbo's are probably starting to limits of longevity at 16PSI. If I was you I would stay away from manual bleed valve and go with something like HDI-SBC-D-EVOLUTION (http://www.hybrid-power.com/index.php) or simular......my reasoning behind this is that they will create and hold boost a lot better than a manual one.

Pretty sure the boost cut is 21PSI.....I know when we were pushing the Haltech I put on, we hit it at 21PSI but I have heard of someone else running more PSI with a different piggyback.

By the way if the turbo lets go...which it will....it's a bitch of a job...lol!

Easiest way to increase boost is to install a 3" (or larger) turbo back exhaust :down:

Not only will you up the boost, but have a much nicer sound and a bit more power.

I am not using any boost controller but I can hit 1.3bar whenever I put my foot down.... or at least I could before my damn exhaust manifold started leaking.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
