Just got a r32 and am new to turbos. Was told that it was running 12psi by a mbc. I did some reading about adjusting this and read that the car won't make any boost in neutral when revved... but it does.

The aftermarket boost gauge sits in vaccum at idle but when I put my foot to the floor the boost will climb to about 10psi and it's not just a quick spike either. Can hear it spooling up. Supposedly just running the stock turbo, pod filter and 3inch exhaust with high flow cat. The mbc is tightened to maximum...

Is this normal?

If the manual boost controller is set to maximum could this cause it as the wastegate will not open at all or should there still be insufficient flow to spool the turbo up?

Yeh in neutral there is no load, shouldn't be enough flow to spool to 10psi.

OP, I'd get your timing checked mate, or it could be running super rich?

I wouldnt use that for a boost gauge. Just take if off where the stock one took the feed at the back of the plenum. Let the FPR have its own special vac source :)

If the timing is out it could be letting some of the combustion out into the exhaust early, that would let the turbo spool.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
