Gday guys.

i have just bought a r33 skyline.

it runs a standard turbo and motor as i know it.

So my question is how much bost can I run as standared anbd flf the shit out of it with out the engine failing??

I have been told that 10 psi is the max?

Any help would be great..

Thanks

Kikka

the answer to this varies. for starters, how much you can run and how much you should run are 2 different things.

what mods does the car have? does it have an after market exhaust? does it have an aftermarket intercooler? if yes to both then anything up to about 12psi is fine, although the ecu may start to throw a tantrum around 12psi. if no to the intercooler but yes to the exhaust then keep it to about 10psi. if stock exhaust then don't bother at all, just do the high mode boost mod to make it run 7psi all the time rather than the stock 5psi below 4500rpm and 7psi above 4500rpm.

also engine failing isn't an issue. the turbo failing on the other hand is the issue. the stock turbo runs a ceramic exhaust wheel and this gets weakened by excess heat (which is why i said not to raise the boost on a stock exhaust, as the restrictive exhaust causes the turbo to run hotter). generally 12psi is considered the upper level of what is safe. some people will tell you that the turbo won't make any more power beyond 12psi but this is false. it will still increase in power up past 16psi, but it would be a ticking time bomb. also the stock ecu won't let you run much past 12 or 13psi before it goes into excess airflow protection mode (more commonly known as rich and retard, as it richens up the mixture and retards the timing).

and how is the boost mod performed as i think that might be my lag problem, :/ everything is fine on the car but at exactly 4500 it drops down then peaks back up. super f...ing annoying,

nevermind the coil packs fixed it.. i already did it. :)

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      Any chance you can get a Nistune board installed instead and set the speed limit to whatever your tires can handle?

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

      Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.

      What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
