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?

Depends how much he really cares if his compressor wheels find their way through the intercooler lol

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.

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
