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

    • I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.
    • Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...  
    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
