Hey,

I just installed a temporary boost gauge on my r32 gtst which is absolutely stock, the only mod being a redline panel filter. Basically these are my results;

Full throttle in 3nd spikes to 11psi holds 10 psi till about 5300rpm and drops back to 8psi, pretty much got the same result through 2-3-4 gears

Is this normal? only reason i ask is because everyone i speak to reakons all the skylines (r32,r33) only run 7psi but its holding 10psi for a pretty long time, not just spiking upto 10.

Your feedback would be appreciated

P.S done on a 15 degree night.

hey man i have hks pod and cat back exhaust and mine runs 12psi up to 5000rpm then runs out of puff and sits on 10psi all the way to 8000rpm. i have not touched the boost....

im keen on mesuring the intake temp as i reccon the stock cooler isnt doin much now so when i put my new fmic on in the next week or two it should make a bit of dif.

hope this helps a bit

mark

When Mine was stock it ran 9psi of boost.

After the 3" turbo back exhaust it now runs 10.9psi and doesn't drop off.

If I run over 12.5psi of boost it will drop back to 12.5psi over 5500rpm.

I have since redrilled the holes in the wastegate bracket and pulled the wastegate towards the front of the engine bay effectively reducing its travel. After a little bit of fiddling and some nasty boost/afm cuts I've got it holding 16psi until just over 7000rpm where I grab the next gear.

I've also used a gated bleeder to bring boost up a little quicker in the mid range. With just the bleeder as I said it will drop back to 12.5psi.

By doing the wastegate mod it dropped my 0-100times from around 5.6secs to 5.2secs. I can get it doing 5.2secs to 100km/h consistently. Providing the road surface is nice.

    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
