I believe this question most likely has been answered but, cant find the answer.

Sorry still new to the car scene.

I have a R34 GTT with a stock turbo, I imported this car not long ago. It just now I just discovered that the last owner in japan had a HKS boost controller hidden near the pedals.

Just wondering what is the best manufacture boost would be. He had it set to 0.75 bar as low and a 1.05 as high. I remember someone telling me never to go over 10 psi which i think is 0.7 bar of boost. You can blow the turbo going to high because the turbo is ceramic.

To everyone that knows or has a NEO RB25DET what boost are you running with a stock turbo and is it safe. I baby my car so don't tend to drive it hard once in the blue moon if someone wants to see how much power or when i am running a orange light.

you havn't been searching properly.. theres numerous threads on this lol..........anything over 12psi and your really pushing it..but then again depends on your driving style, i mean if you got a heavy foot and hitting boost every time your foots on the pedal then nothings gonna last long :)

Been running 12psi for nearly 2 yrs and still going strong :(

Thanks for the advice guys.

Sorry OoskylineoO I might not be searching properly its just if i ask the question is better then trying hunt the right answer.

Plus everyone here would know a lot more then me any day like i mentions i am still new to the car scene just trying to learn as much as I can.

I'm running 14psi on my stock Neo turbo, but I don't believe it is wise if you want it to last. I have already purchased an upgrade, so if the turbo blows it isn't going to worry me too much. That said, I've been running 14psi consistently for a good 5 months, haven't had any problems.

    • I should. But it already uses too much fuel for a daily. You might note my recco for engine chnages are almost exclusively to people who have it as a weekender/summer car. I don't even have room to keep the spares for this one, let alone another car.
    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
