Silly question.

And an equally silly first response.

Depends on the motor condition. Have you had it checked?

Depends on the tune/tuner. Have you had it looked into by a reputable tuner?

Depends on supporting mods. Are all the supporting mods in place?

I thought I read somewhere that only the 34 N1 or something weren't ceramic....or moreso, that at least one of the "N1" turbos wasn't steel compressor AND exhaust.

No N1's are all steel wheeled, you might be thinking about standard turbos.

Depends on all the above,

if you have fuel system to support more than 14psi then i wouldnt be pushing much past 18psi

on a built motor and supporting fuel system you might get away with 20psi high boost.

just make sure that your AFR are correct for the boost level you're running, there is no point running 18psi if you cant give the motor enough fuel for that amount of air

if it wasnt standard i would have noted the modifications.

the motor is in good condition, its only done 68,000klms.

ive checked compression, valve clearances, spring pressure, injector pulse, you name it ive checked it.

i want answers like the first one, i was looking for people telling me how much they were running on their RB26's not people telling me what they think i should be running.

its running 15psi standard without the restrictor. theres is no issues with the air/fuel ratio.

i just want to know how much psi people are running on their own rb26s.

A answer of "XX" psi is a silly and dangerous one mate.

So are you going to get it tuned?

If not, then i wouldn't be running 18psi at all.

i probly will get it tuned but,

im not going to jack up the boost on mine. i dont even have a boost controller. im trying to keep it fairly standard in the hope that maybe 10 or 15 years down the track it might be worth a little bit.

i just want to know what people are running, and what people have run that has caused problems.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
