Hey guys just wondering how much boost the internals of my series 2 r33 can take, I'm currently debating on which to do; hi-flowing my turbo or just get a new one but I want to know how much boost the engine internals and all that sort of stuff can take? And also what parts will I have to upgrade? I'm planing on running 10psi low boost and 18psi or so for high boost.

Thanks heaps! Also what's the highest safest boost to run on the stock turbo since its ceramic I keep hearing different numbers I was running 10 pound but I put it up to 13 today just to feel the difference.

There is no set number anyone can offer you given the variables from setup to setup, engine and turbo age, fuel type, tuners ability etc etc...

Stock turbo's dont generally like too much boost for too long... I run 28psi through my stock engine and it gets punished on the track pretty hard... In saying that i have done every supporting mod possible, the only thing i havent touched is the internals really...

Has nothing to do with Boost

What do you think will be harder on the motor

A GT55 at 10psi or the standard turbo at 10psi

He did mention stock or hi flo... So it will only do so much!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
