The safe boost level that you are probably referring to, is if you have standard turbo....

After that is replaced with after-market turbo(steel wheels) the problem is now safe power level for engine output (kw).

May as well tune & run 20psi(or whatever the highest boost efficiency range is) , then use your right foot to achieve desired boost.

Boost pressure has nothing to do with "safe limits" on an engine.

10psi from a T28 is a lot different to 10psi from a T88.

As has been said, the only reason people refer to safe limits of boost pressure is on the stock turbo.

Your HKS actuator on the GTRS is a 1bar item so the minimum it will run is 1bar. They run out of puff at around 19-22psi dependent on engine.

But +1 on what ECU are you running? Please don't say stock.

stock ecu pinch.gif as im still not sure wat one to get my tuner would like me to get the vipec ecu.. but i like the Fcons with hand controller :pirate:

maybe even a nistune ?:S

as for fuel pump i ment the 040 in tank fuel pump

the 440 is the inline version

injectors are stock as im going to do them at the same time as the ecu

my plan was to get the gt-rs turbo on run it at min bar ..

get the head cleaned up

upgrade the pump

timeing belt exc

get some forged items in her belly :) do supporting things water / oil pump then once thats all done lookn into tuneing and injectors 2 match

i drive this car f*k all its a long term thing for me

the 040 pump will be fine for the gtrs, the 044 is the external pump your thinking of...

the vipec ecu seems good from all accounts and so is the nistune but the Fcon is harder to find a tuner for Ive heard, if you want a hand controller go the powerFC, but at the end of the day get what your preferred tuner has the most experience with and recommends...

you say you have 'hurricane custom 3inch sports exhaust ( cat and cannon )' tell me you will have a 3 or 3.5" dump as well....

I wouldnt even worry about a pod filter just run the std airbox with a decent hiflow panel filter or an arc airbox... pods are ghey imo.

Im assuming you meant 'cooling pro intercooler'... yeah.? never heard of a pro cool one...

with injectors keep in mind that E85 is around more and more and to run it you need 30% more fuel flow, more power, less detonation more timing...

Yeah ECU first pretty much in all instances.

Without it, forget running more than 7-9psi as the ECU will simply have a fit, not to mention you need injectors.

Have you even read the "what mods to do first" thread?

The RB25 dyno sticky?

You'll soon notice if you read every GT-RS thread, what the minimum requirements are.

yer 3" turbo back

pod was on it wen i brought it was thinking a nice metal fab'd one

and it would be 'cooling pro intercooler' that was allready on it wen i got it too ...

vipec it is i need to sell my bike and it will be done !!!

(injectors will be done wen ecu gets done ) so i will prob drive it like twice after the turbo goes on

i hae tryed 2 look for posts about the vipec but the button wont let me look it wont even find skylines pinch.gif

If your tuner wants the Vipec then go for it. Fantastic ECU and you will not be dissapointed.

Don't worry about half the stuff you listed that you want to do. Get the injectors and ECU done first.

its all done once i sell bike ecu and injectors :)

YZF400 any1 keen :P

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
