How much can I increase my boost too before having to make modifications to the turbo?

You might wana keep it around 11-12, for more reasons than just the turbo's life.

To avoid detonation, and keep the turbo efficient most people tend to keep it round there. With correct tuning you can get alot of power out of them on low boost with a SAFC or similar.

agreed.

i think the general consensus is that @ 14psi you are pushing not only the flow capacity of the turbo, but also the life of the exhaust wheel

people generally run around 12psi feeling that this offers the best power for turbo reliability

(also, a search would yield quite a few threads on this matter)

Waz.

i use to run 12 psi on my r32 rb20 ... i end up changing the turbo 3 times ... and the last one was leaking .... :D ...  that was befor my friend crash the car.. :thumbsup:

i think 10 is ok ...  but am planning for 12 on my r34 ... :D

you blew the turbo 3 times on the standard set up? Im thinking your boostguage was faulty and you were running significantly more than that...

no my boostguage was perfect ... my car was standerd ... only for the KSROM chip

which is set up for 12 psi ( i dont have a boost control ) .. and 8000 rev ( they did it is japan) and some fuel and ignition remaping ...

and 3.5 inch exust ..

no cat no nothing .. but the muffler at the end .. thats why my turbo exust wheel spen all the way out of the exust .. lool ... :cheers:

maybe from the way i was driving ... lol .. drifting all the time .. and the rev was always high ... above 3500 .. :rofl:

any way ... its over ... i have my r34 now ... never reach 3000 RPM :jk: lol

some pic of the turbo ... with something missin :)

lol good effort, im not sure how the hell you managed to kill 3 on standard boost but thats pretty special dude lol

Take it easy on the 34, those turbos cost a wee bit more. I guess you could buy in bulk? lol

Cheers

loooooooool ... dont wory about my r34 ... i'll be changing the turbo soooooon :P

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
