This all started cause a gearbox broke,

I think it was actually 4 but that's in the past and right now if I want to drive mine I go to the garage and turn the key :)

And when yours wasn't running, I could have wandered out the back, pushed the boat out and rip skidz too. Your car was off the road for a similar time wasn't it? ?

The car was pulled off the road running. I could have whacked a stock box in it, replace the turbo and it would have running within a couple weeks.

Car is finally booked into Insight on the 19th of April for the ECU, fuel system and sensor wire in plus the tune. Thats the good news. The bad news is that V-cam aint gonna fit with my pistons and ho

Small update.... ITS RUNNING. Fired first go! Smells like burnt dust apparently .

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

Can't remember it was a few years though  was about the same time you broke your engine I think

Ok ladies simmer down.

Time to start taking bets on the power figure.

Apparently 480 AWKW was the most power out of a 8374 awkw (out of an Evo) Scott has seen on his dyno.

Nick (3.0/8374) went 461, 24 psi

Pete (3.2/vcam/8374) went 457awkw, 25 psi tapering back to 21 psi (120,000 turbine speed).

I don't know. It's all dictated by that magic 127,000 RPM turbine speed. What will be more interesting will be the boost level that it'll need to get there. Going off the -5 setup, it went 441 at 19 psi. Realistically, I should have just left it there.  Boost level I'm gonna peg at no more then 25 psi, tapering back down.

i know another evo making 450kw 8374 .92 internal gate at 36 psi

why stop at 25 psi

Because of turbine speed.

127k max. If it reaches that, the turbo is done, irrespective of pressure. 

Its no secret that these things have certain parameters to keep within, just like any mechanical part.

What speed are you at with your 30 or 32 psi?

and you know 25 = 127k?

is it to keep them alive or are you saying it wont anymore power beyond 127k

i was about to turn mine up to 34psi haha

No I don't know 25 psi will equal 127K. It was an educated guess... I could be well off. We will know because the speed sensor will be going back to the ecu.

Hopefully the wheel doesn't end up out the back of the exhaust. You're bloody crazy to turn it up that much without knowing what it's spinning at. Not the turbo's fault it if fails.

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
