Yeah seems to be a bit of luck involved. I've hammered 10 pr 12 laps around Wakefield at 1 bar without hurting the turbo (spat a few other things though). Don't have a FMIC either. Other people spit bits of their turbo out at .81 bar. Go figure.

been running my 32 with exaust pod without touching the turb and it went to 11 psi just from that now its got a bleed valve to set it to 14.7 switchable and she is running nice and hard all day every day.

Then again im just waiting for it to blow so i can get a 2540 :)

I am looking to boost my GTR and waant to know is it always the case that all debris from the exhaust wheel goes down the exhaust pipe or is there ANY chance of any bits entering the exhaust ports. I can probably live with the replacement cost of a turbo but don't want to stuff the head/valves etc.

i was told if u back off it can go back in the motor ?

anyone know?

ed,

wasnt aware that 32 turbos are a bit more heat resistant. :D kinda happy about that i must say, though i  still want  a 2540 on it.

Its not that 32 turbos are more heat resistant, Its more the fact that the rb20 produces less heat to the turbo than rb25

Its true that a steel wheel will take more heat than the ceramic one. But if you take a RB25 turbo and put it in a RB20 you will be able to run more than 14psi that is possible in its original application.

I did not know that the RD20 turbo had a steel wheel? Why did nissan go to the ceramic one? Maybe for a quicker spool up yime or something...

The biggest mistake people make with bikes, Karts, and cars is forget the guy who designed the thing had a fair idea.... After all he earns a heap of Yen and would be out of a job otherwise.

Safest boost level is standard... end of story! It allows for fuel variables, worn engine components and is working with its mate the ECU who was born the same day.

Additional boost = additional performance. and the reliability is inversely proportional.

That is why most performance mods are sold as a package... and considering you can hardley notice <20kw, it becomes a game of chance, you decide at what level you wish to play...

Good Luck

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
